    A stock Suzuki Fiero(drum brake) weighs 118kgs, dry. Mine is around over 40 kilos lighter, including a disc brake assembly.
    Okay.... Thats a job well done i must say... 40 kgs is a lot of weight... Are spokes heavier or lighter than alloy wheels?? I thought they were heavier... So was wondering why u using spoked wheels as opposed to alloys... Please correct if i am wrong..

      ^My Spoked wheels are lighter than alloys, coz my stuffs are not stock.
      I'm not chasing weight reduction, coz if I really wanted, I could make it a lot more lighter. I like practicality and I believe more in engine performance.

Like my Karizma which now runs a 260cc set-up and also a big-valve layout.

                      Joel What an inspiration you are. You remind me of Bert Munro better known as the man from kiwiland who went to america to brake the land speed record ona single cylinder bike.

                      -just wanted to make his Indian go
                      faster and faster
                      -Made his own pistons -Fabricated alot of the cylinder

                      Joel
                      -Joel wants his fiero to go even more a quick
                      -Made his own Pistons
                      -Joe does the same. . .


                      You always have me as a fan Joe, go ahead wish you all the best. Hope to ride your drag prepped bikes some day. atleast one of em
