Verus makes a ECU and fuel rail bracket cover that saves 5 pounds. Probably more than a cf hood would at 1/8th the price

My car's steering wheel actuator is just under 150 pounds, but if I did some weight reduction of anywhere near 100 pounds, it would no longer be functional. I can however see some that may be able to cut down that much weight, but i have a hard time imagining one of that size inside a twin

You'd probably only see weight savings with dry carbon fiber hoods, such as the one from Amuse... but that costs $5k. Seibon has one too for close to $2k. Weight savings is roughly 5lbs from stock.
Wet carbon trunks generally do save more weight relative to a wet carbon hood... which like many others have stated weigh more.

The steering wheel actuator reduction does not work as good as the 170lb passenger delete mod!

You want to save weight? Go on a diet and drive around with less gas in the tank. And drain the windshield washer fluid.
Costs nothing. |
