Help with modding 2011 Apex

[morrisond]

Hi,

I ride trails but you guys are the experts on modding. I'm doing a lot of this for cosmetics, but the weight loss isn't a bad thing.

I am going to buy an 2011 Apex XTX, but hate the stock colours (Blue or Red) I want to trick it up a bit and was wondering if you guys have any idea what kind of weight loss I should expect.

How much would I save by changing the tunnel to a Vanamburg or CR Racing

Any idea how much the 144 XTX Skid Weighs? Any feedback on the Nextech for trails?

How much weight loss by changing all the panels to carbon, deleting the headlight assembly and using HID's?

Any other good weight savers?

Thanks for your help.

Don't forget the frond end and seat 2 huge weight savers.

I'll put a wide front end kit on from MPI and the light weight bolts, should save 7-8 lbs.

Does anyone make Carbon Arms for the Apex?

best stuff is timbersled front and rear suspension, boss seat, under tunnel exhaust, hid lights.
Carbon panels will crack and break easyer than plastic ones.
You should be able to lose 60 to 80 pounds.
