I have cut about 78 lbs off my 2008 Nytro MTX.
A while ago someone asked me what the cost of my weight reductions were on a dollar-per-pound basis. I hadn’t really thought of it that way so I went home and figured it out. Some of the results kind of surprised me.
I ended up putting together a list of products for him and later posted it on this site.
A number of people added items so I thought that I would re-post the list.
Perhaps some of you who are thinking about new modifications would be interested in this.
The lists does not consider performance benefits, product quality or reliability, manufacture’s service record… Just price and weight savings.
Prices and weight savings figures may not be exact.
If anyone else wants to add to the list please let me know.
