Question about Mods

[Rob'sBus]

Hi all. I respect everyone's opinion here so I thought I'd lob this question out there for you guys to hit it over the park. I love my busa but I'd like to shave a little weight from her (15-30 lbs. maybe?). URIt showed me his undertail mod and his Akropovic exhaust mod and his busa looks and sounds fantastic. In fact, I think I'd like to do the same things. I'd like to go to the 4-2-1 exhaust but I love the throaty/powerful growl the busa put out. Would the Akro be a good choice for me? Is there another exhaust that sounds similar? How much weight could I shave with that mod and what are some other mods that are available that could also shave some weight? Thanks in advance for all the guidance.

As long as you go with any full titanium exhaust system.  You should be able to shave off at least 15 lbs of unwanted weight.  You should also remove the pair valve system that will knock off an additions 2-3 lbs.  I would also recommend the aluminum subframe if your busa is newer then 2001 as long as you do more solo riding then 2 up.  That should take about 8-10 lbs off.

I went to the Evolution and I would say the weight savings is closer to 22 pounds with the pair valve removal. I LOVE the sound of my pipe and it is definately throaty and growly.

Check my install thread, there are sound clips in the first post.
