Lightweight guys: Where are you using aluminum? | Gen 3 Busa Information

Okay so i know we have a TI thread going, but lets talk aluminum. Right now I have aluminum bolts holding my bars into my clip ons, fairing bolts, axle nut, sprocket nuts, debating on swingarm nuts, kickstand bolts, set bolts if I can find them. Where do we draw the line at weight savings vs...

Where did you get that seat from?
 
Yes indeed and they are all light on details like component weights, layups etc. when asked.
 
Almost has me wondering tho about the quality. As the 5 pieces you see on the RoadGlide cost as much as almost all the parts for my Busa. Quality difference or…. Harley owners are just really dumb with their money…. I know I’m of the latter.

From an aesthetics perspective do we think the whole inlet should have been matte here? Potentially more in keeping with the factory design as well?

So that is twill gloss for the intake?

Do we think it could be better aesthetically if it were matte?

I am thinking about going matte for the intake, meter covers and instrument surrounds including the instrument top cover (to reduce reflection on the wind shield) along with the matte chain guard, sprocket cover, heal guards and the under tank covers (where your knees contact)
Then every thing else twill gloss including the undertail..

Any graphic designers here? Am I on the right track?

Also what do people think of the MR front fender with the caliper cooling duct? Would that help on the track or just for 'no-show'

Or just stick with the OEM design from the likes of MC or CFR?

The only concern I'd have is when you have just completed a run and stopped, these are good when you are moving but would hold the hear in when you are stopped.....

Even regular braking creates heat and if you were stuck in stop and go traffic they might be an issue....maybe?
