Yes, Kachess is in the 530 range after his mods. I'm sure with an aftermarket tunnel, lightweight front end and a lightweight seat 520ish is possible. Take a look on this forum,do a search for weight loss and you'll find more ideas than you'll have time to do.

I was at 540 dry last year and took 30 more pounds of this year.
I did not do a actual weigh it this year but she handles very light.
I do have the LP turbo on it (super light) that alone is a 35 pound saving over stock that helps a lot.

yah my sled has everything done to it that is on kachesses list and i would like to loose more weight and i think if i can get down to the 520 it would be great i am thinking of the new belt drive to replace the chain case, and or some modifcations to the engine mounting.

hey doc, that beltdrive would save some pounds but for $2,500 its a little outa the question. Plus Dans doesnt climb any better with it... Im thinking drilling lots of holes and a lighter weight exhaust. Atleast down to 510 after that kind of thing.

alright we should try drilling holes in the exhaust and drilling holes

Not holes in the exhaust. Drill holes in the bulkhead AND do a lighter exhaust. Anyway. Figured out why my ton was running bad. The far right carb was apart. the diaphram and springs came unsnaped and the needle was stuck all the way up. Once again it wasnt the plugs.
