    I know small bolts would be cheaper, but isn't your best bang (weight loss) for the buck with Titanium when you replace the axles and swingarm pivot. Isn't all the rest just bling? Do all the small bolts add up to a significant amount?

    The bigger the part, the more it cost and the more weight you will save.

    Titanium screws are just so much nicer to work with too.

    I will be making Titanium axels and swingarm shafts as soon as my lathe and mill get delivered this month.

    This is what made my bike go alot faster and saved me a bunch of money, spend 1/2 as much at grocery store, save gas and not sit in drive thru, pretend I'm lactose intolerant and avoid DQ-BR, conviced myself that I'm not saving money with any dollar menu and riding my bicycle to friends house less than 1/2 mile away instead of driving. This for four months= 28lbs and tongue only sticking halfway out after five laps.... Sorry for the hijack, I'll throw some in the hijack jar-previously my cookie jar, Scott
