My quest to get the old XX down to 430lbs has begun. I had the Titanium Akra exhaust fitted in Portland this last weekend. My intent was to lose weight and fix the dead midrange. Well, it accomplished both and more. Akra claims a 23 pound weight loss switching to this system. After handling the stock components (those cans must be made of lead!!) and then the Akra pieces I think it's got to be more than that. But since I didn't get a chance to weigh the pieces I'll just have to assume Akra did and they know what they're talking about. The stock jetting was VERY lean. The pipe and revised jetting fixed the dead spot so it pulls strong all the way from the bottom (like an 1100 should!). Oh, and I picked up 12 yes 12HP! It's not just on top either. The HP advantage starts at 4000RPM and goes until the rev limiter. Anyway, I've got the dyno sheets if anyone wants to see them I will scan them and post them. I'll also scan the photos when I finish the roll and get it developed. The Ti can looks so good with the black bike.
The next significant weight loss would have to be wheels but that's some serious $$$$$! The next chapter in this quest may be a while coming.....
Progress: 492lbs now down to 469lbs.
