Not sure, about the same size and weight I think but the advantage is you can lie them on their side so they'll fit under race rep tail fairings, if you want light lithium is the way to go, so light they feel like an empty box.

Cool, after doing some more research I think if I went for a lithium is just be doing it for the sake of it and effectively wasting money so will go for an AGM.
In trying to source a 4 into 1 header, MAC performance do some full 4 into 1 exhaust systems but I don't like the silencers. In going to grab a stubby cone engineering reverse cone when I'm out in the states and it seems a waste to buy a full system to not use part of it. Any recommendations on where I can buy just the downpipes?

I think I've seen some on cycle x website.

Managed to get a bit of time working on the bike today, fully stripped electrics, oil tank, and pretty much everything else bar the front end.
This bad boy was the biggest pain in the arse, fully seized and came pre-rounded by the previous owner
Literally tried everything to get it off, cutting a slot and using an impact hammer, cutting new flats and trying to get a spanner on it, using this plumbers tool thing, heat, and finally going medieval and cutting it to bits and smashing it with a chisel.
unfortunately I've damaged the filter housing, not too much but enough that i know its going to annoy me.

Dropped the lump out, was a bit of a wrestle even doing it the recommended lay-on-the-right-side-lift-off-the-frame method. Not looking forward to getting it back in when its all nicely painted..
Stripped the front end down, the fork stanchions were a right bastard to get out the lower triple tree, took a fair bit of brute force but they came out in the end. Currently mega struggling with getting the fork seals out the lowers, according to my haynes they should just lift out at this point but i can't get them to shift. Even tried cutting into them with a dremel but still couldn't get them to shift. I hope i haven't unwittingly destroyed something that isnt actually part of the oil seal :o
