Dude, that's a huge improvement! Your tubular recessed mounts look so much nicer. Nice work, man!Lost about 5-1/2" of width, looks like more, but that's what it measures out.
Current weight with hardware.
Previous weight with hardware.
So about a 2# reduction. And it's also much stronger with the short 10.9 hardware versus the extra long 8.8's that went through the spacers.
Thinking of an aluminum heatshield for the muffler, we'll see how that goes.

ABS delete in progress. Stock versus 3 hoses.
I didn't think those metal lines were going to come out without mangling them. Wasn't to bad actually.
While I was there I decided the high fender mount needed to be a little higher.
It's now 1/4" higher. Should clear at full bump now. Maybe...... The tape measure said it probably wasn't before.

Why stop there, Think of the weight savings if you remove one front rotor, caliper and hose .....
return one hose, and go with only 2 hoses

Single disk would be good for dirt only, but this is an adventure bike. The single disk would be pretty weak trying to stop from speed on blacktop, especially loaded up.
Still a firm believer that these bikes are not dirt bikes, and that trying to turn one into a one means you bought the wrong bike.
I can see getting rid of the ABS or disabling it. Its a pain in the ass to remember to push the button to shut it off every time you restart the bike.

I have thought about ditching a disk. The old KLR was about 20# lighter and did just fine with a single disk. The 700 has better brakes to start with also. Only issue would be higher pad wear. But since I don't use the brakes all that much it may not be an issue.

Agreed, I have my EXC300 for stupid stuff. But lighter is almost always better. The racer in me is always trying to improve things.

You'll like that tank. Range was just too short with stock.

What he said. It's nice to have 250 miles or more range before looking gas.
At my rate of travel it will get 180 miles max. I was only getting 120 out of the stock tank. Going to carry a 3G giant loop bag with me for the fairbanks to Prudhoe bay stretch.

I believe the Speedo may run off the ABS Ring, but I am not sure.
Did you buy someone's delete kit or are you DYI?

Give Nick a call, hopefully he can help you correct the problem. I left mine in place and just push the button to turn it off as necessary.
