If I were to take the complete front brake system of my Banshee how much weight will it cut?

That's a terrible idea.

Roadrunner this bike only gets rode 300' at A time. It isn't A trail pounder

No.

Crossfit performance do some great weight saving parts, contact the member ddq for more info. He's one of their reps.

A good diet and exercise can shed a few pounds.

not enough

[04_blu_shee]

I weigh 205... Just seeing if it would be worth getting rid of it to get all more more quickness

[Deadbeat]

worth it if you putting your bike on a diet, race cut hubs and wheels or spindle mounts, race tank, cut some bar work out, allloy axle etc etc..

 

it will all add up

I have thought for a long time that if you're looking to shed every single pound, use the front master cylinder to activate the rear brake. The front master and line to the rear has got to weigh less than the rear master, pedal and associated brackets.

 

Also, If you're buying titanium bolts to bolt on billet pieces that are heavier than the stock plastic parts, you're not sheding any weight.

 

It would be interesting if someone would start a thread showing weight difference, + or -, between stock parts and aftermarket parts. Foot pegs, kicker, shifter, stator cover, water pump cover, rear reservoir, etc.

 

What amazes me is guys that weigh 250 lbs and they take off the front brakes to "go faster".

I'm not looking for a lecture I'm just asking a simple question.

Take them off and put them on a scale, let us know.

Yes it will reduce weight.
