How To Loose 100 lbs from your Gen1 ZX-14
I’m currently at -75 lbs. With headlights, coolant bottle, switching to all aluminum brackets on everything and few other tricks I got up my sleeve, I will be awful close to reaching the goal of dropping 100 lbs off the fully faired big ol beast.
I will add a chapter to this thread very few days until I get the whole thing recorded. I will also post the latest weight reduction mods I do as they occur.
There is a dark side, also. The obsession with modifying has lead to install many parts that add small amounts of weight. Electronics, gauges, nitrous and the like has put a few pounds on. After I turbo this thing, I wont be surprised if most of what I lost gets put back on. In the future, I will also post a thread detailing the mods I did that added weight.
