New Carbon Farkles or How to lose 1lb unsprung weight

I really so no need to shave weight from my Rocket at this point. I am averaging well over 40 mpg, and every H-D I have run with doesn't stand a chance. ZX10s, ZX14s, Diavels, R1s and a few GSXRs seem to be the tough ones to beat. Unless I am looking for 10 second Quarter times I am good with it.
 
Weights not all about acceleration, many seem to forget lighter un-sprung mass or mass in general contribute to better braking, less tire wear, mileage, mid corner adjustments, etc etc.

Looing 20 lbs sprung weight from the belly tire (more centrally located) might possibly enhance performance more than shaving off the front end
 
Biggest weight loss is replacing the stock exhaust and also getting a big boost it power
 
Yep, six years on and i just got an order in for their last three pairs with one taken already.
I still have some on my Roadster I need to give a wash.

They are going to see if the Spanish makers can still make some of the other bits too.

So if you need some spares / backup for the Salt @Claviger I can send a set your way when they get here via UK.

 

I'm good, I actually have a second set from my insurance claim lol.
