El Matador

Errrmmm Theres a guy who has that on his 749s. He also has the titanium belt covers and little titanium doohickies that go instead of the reservoir caps...

That's a lot of coin for a very, very small piece of pretty metal that provides no performance advantages whatsoever.

actually, people buy titanium BOLTS, I would not be surprised if it sells well.

if you need to drop a few ounces off your bike, eat salad and prunes all week.

So that flimsy piece of stock plastic is supposed to protect your feet from chain breakage?  Don't think so.  Hell, the plastic probably weighs less than the Ti. I'm willing to bet they sell this to the same people that buy Blinker Fluid (makes your signals blink faster and smoother!).

This is probably a stupid question but which is lighter, CF or the same mass oF Ti ?

Ounce per Ounce CF is much lighter than Ti, but Ti is definitely much stronger.  It's also much more expensive unfortunately.

So you're saying an ounce of CF is lighter than an ounce of Ti? Are you sure you don't want to re-think that?

What is crazier? $370 for a highly machined part out of an expensive material or $70 for a long sleeve cotton tee shirt??

maybe a fluid ounce? a measure of volume.. so ounce can mean mass or volume.

but it is an odd choice for the question.

but i think what the original question SHOULD have said, what is lighter for the same volume.

but let me tell you about the check-out girl in my grocery store who squeezes the air out of your bags of veggies so it "weighs less"
