What's the best way to lose weight on these sleds?
How much weight could you take off with $5000?

what year M8 is the question....and what turbo kit
most of this is ruff figures...im not gonna do the research for you lazy
- DD lite - 16lbs
- 09 and newer front bushing kit - .5lbs
- the stock p-max track is as light as its gonna get and still work with a turbo...CE is too heavy and others are junk
- the twisted kits remove the oil injection...maybe 12lbs full?
- rear light/flap....maybe 3lbs?
- timber sled drops 10-15 lbs in the rear and maybe 3-4 up front, depends on what year and model
IMO, the only real lose comes CF parts...everything else is too minimal to matter much

you should be able to hit 390-395...stm valves ,bdx dd,oil delete,mesh hood/frt/rear timbersleds/brake disc/rear tunnel kit titaaium engine and chassis bolt kit...etc etc etc..
Lose the four bogie wheels for about 3.5 lbs . . . . Cat didn't leave us much to remove on these things
Probably an 08-09 M with a push turbo. I'd like to know what other people are doing to drop weight and their opinions of the products as much as just the manufacturers claims for weight savings.
Well if you really want to go light give C3 powersports a call
That's kinda where I'm going with this...trying to figure out if a guy is better off piecing together a light weight sled with several different companies products or if I'll get a better return on my money buy starting with a light weight chassis from them or Diamond S and adding the turbo later (when I have money again
)Make no mistake if you want a turbo and light weight parts you will be $20k+.
So what would it weigh for 20K? I'm averaging 5K a year in mods/deprecation, so if I can build a sled I'd be happy with for 4 years for 20K it's a wash.
