i am one of those every ounce matters kind of people but literally here we are talking ounces

I like your bike ...I love the all black.I have the same bike with not so many mods. I went to a dealer here in Miami and they said it would be cheaper for me to buy the 07swing arm.....wtf. Anyway I'm going to do most of the labor myself and then send it to get powder coated, I'm waiting until I need to change mytyres so I can do both at the same time. I'm not going to do the front fork though. Once I do the swing arm and set up a power commander I'm finished modding my 1krr. I'm saving up for a used 06 600rr to track.

total cost was 200 dollars and that includes the powdercoating, old bearings pressed out, the cost of new bearings and getting them pressed into the swingarm.

its easy as hell and the black matched the ohlins gold perfectly

Looks great, have been thinking about getting mine powder coated too, going with titanium to match the plastics. However, there are a few things higher on this list at the moment, like a pcIII w/dyno tune, and a new rear tire already.
