Akechi said he doesn't like the look of 'em and doesn't want the worries with Mag wheels. He's gone for forged alloy. Probably the only compromise on the concept. I got a feeling cost isn't too big an issue considering what he's done so far and how far he was willing to go. Like you I'm happy to help him spend his money. ;D

Change out the Marchesinis for OZ piega forged alloy, there a bit lighter and research some tyre changes as someone posted. Some weight can be shaved of them. Definitely a Ti frame for the ultimate weight loss program!

Interesting read!

I'm sure a lot of weight can be saved if there's an alternative to that boat anchor swing arm.

While the motor's open, Ti valves and rods.
Pistal likely has some hi-comps that are lighter than stock.

Don't forget the lightened and polishing rockers from kaemna.

Minor threadjack, but where do you live that it's legal (and safe) to not have mirrors?

Lightening (and re-balance) the crank anyone?

What's this rocker lightening?

Most weight at this point is in the engine and frame.
M620 turned M800 but then back to M620 after the M800 died at 110k, and now to Multi 1000.

Oh I know. Just pointing out the obvious.

Still don't know what the worry could be if he went with mags.

That frame won't work with a single sided swinger.
