HI I never had the chance to weigh them. I only get to weigh stuff if I have them with me when I go to the body shop. I have a set of rear pegs from Parts Unlimited / Competition Werkes Pt #1620-0027.

I like Brocks exhausts , and I also like Brocks in general , he runs a successful business , used to race etc. and I like his tutorials . I run his CT exhaust , that series are Japanese sourced , beautifully made imho and are pretty well the lightest around .
Each of us has his own freedom of choice with what you want for your motorcycle , and who you buy from , I personally try to avoid and not deal with unethical people in the motorcycle industry .

Well yesterday I rode it a couple hours up to Columbus and parked it in the bed of my new to me lil ram EcoDiesel
BTW I-71 between Columbus and Cincinnati.... GREAT long mostly straight stretch. Lots of it is newly repaved and speed limit is 70mph along most of it.

Not really what I did but my Ti sprocket nuts are in...I will wait until I change the tires in the spring to install the sprockets and nuts...I figures it should gain 5 BHP

So is the Titanium hard to work with? Can you cut and drill it with the same tools you use on steel?

Not easy, but not impossible. You can cut / drill it, but slower than mild steel or aluminum.
Long cuts take time. Drilling is slower.
I could make the same part in steel / aluminum in 1/3 the time. Keep in mind I'm totally hand tools for most of it.
Drilling / wire wheel / sanding wheel are it.

Had a rear puncture on the freeway. Then hit a bump at 60. Bent the rim. Made it safely off the road. Flat bedded to a repair shop. $700 wheel + all the bearings, etc. And a week for the part(s) to arrive. Walked away from it. Technically, RODE away. Thrilled but broke. Might not have to replace the tire but probably will anyway. A day in the life of a single-vehicle owner. Pictures when I get home
