once I pop the clutch on the frame.

300 shipped?

Just another frame and a bunch of light weight chromoly in the box.

That's dope, Rodger and I were talking about trying the Oval, but he was a bit hesitant. I suppose it's worth a shot if it's lighter then this heavy ass Roll swinger.

Arlan will be doing the port work, domes, pipes etc.

The arms are light weight chromo. Not the same as the regular LT fireball arms. Notice the way the upper arm balances off my hand in the photo. As far as the swinger, is there any one doing a light weight square tube? I've seen what I've seen from several manufacturers, and there's no way a straight round tube style swinger will ever go on my bike. A ladder bar or arched swinger would be cool in Ti, but like I said it's not 300' so guys don't wanna deal with it. Money is not the issue. I've saved up and hoarded parts for a year.

None of the banshee Guys who know Ti have showed any interest if it's not a 300' bike.

Fo Sho. That's why I'm not in a hurry to slap something together. Just hoarding parts till it's ready to go together. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What kind of details? There's too damn many to address all at once.

You are correct. I'm down 22 lbs from last year. Still eating and drinking a lot healthier. I am gonna push to get down to 205, but that's as light as I can get. I get pretty shredded at that weight. As far as Ti swinger, dunno. I got a -2 Roll and it's heavy. Every one wants to build me a round tube light chromoly swinger, but they flex so that's out. All the guys capable of doing Ti don't wanna be bothered with figuring out a -2 ladder or arch.

Wasn't he the same dude that got the boot here?

That's the one.

I didn't take it that way.

Yes

Arlan kinda refused to be on board unless I did billit.

One year later and I've finally got the funds to quit dicking around. Honest question, whattya think would be a realistic target weight? Considering it's got full brakes(race tech rear) and a sway bar.

Ya, I'll dig them out when I get home. There isn't much to see visually. Rodger at Fireball just made a minor change in material selection.

Well fuck, that's why I was being conservative and thinking 290ish. What do you think is possible? Keep in mind it's gotta have some extras that the drag guys don't run so it's hard to get an apples to apples comparison. I've never tried to put a target number to it. I just know that as I've been looking over my old set up I see ounces and pounds to be saved everywhere.

I'm about $1,100 in on that and as time goes I think it'll double. So after really looking at bikes that claim to be in the 235-245lb range, I'm thinking 265 ish should be pretty easy. I'm running full suspension and brakes though.

Dude, those slingshots can make a diesel noise. That and straight cuts on my bike make a bit of ruckus.

Stock cradle/chromoly hybridI've never really chased weight so I really don't know how light I can get it.
