People have used the two scale method with good results, if they had good scales to start with iirc. If there is a race tuning shop in your area, you could ask to use their scales. [popcorn] ;D

No need for two scales. As long as it's short (<3") it'll be plenty accurate enough.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

I weighed mine last night using this method and got 365 lbs wet.

My M900 is about 375 without fuel.  Not bad.
She feels pretty light to me.

Is it installed?  Do you know how much weight is saves?  



No, it isn't installed.  If i remember correctly, it saved 6-8 pounds (in the rear) from a stock frame, which is apparently extra good because these bikes are tail-heavy. 

I was trying to find the thread with no luck, seems like all of the Flight-Cycles "Sponsor" threads are gone.

Anybody know what happened to those?

I reckon my old Brembo wheels are 10 lbs heavier ;D. I can feel the unsprung weight bullying the low sprung weight if you know what I mean.

Don't quote me, but he may have had a career change from something I read somewhere here.
