Has anyone attempted to shed a few pounds off the XX? Or is it possible b/c it seems it is motor frame and wheels anyhow! lol

I have shed a few lbs off of mine. 8lbs lost just by switching to fox Shox. Another 3-4 by switching out the exhaust to the barker.

Ive got mine down to 503 lbs with full tank of fuel and race ready. There is more come off . Gunna be alot less than 500 lbs when finished.
Aiming for 495 lbs with IMS tank full.

I just run way low on oil. Also, I ride in shorts and flip flops. All told, saves me a couple pounds.

I just ride my naked. i removed all the plastics, the fuel tank was replaced with a 2 liter bottle.....i have no seat (causes hemoriods) and used a pvc pipe with a sprite can for an exaust. Man, it looks and sounds like shit but i can jump ALOT higher! :lmao:

If anyone is seriously interested in spending the dough for a chromoly frame let me know. I plan on having one made next winter but might have to order a few to make it happen. Also will be working on a quadtech type 450r vented style carbon fiber hood and may have to buy a few of those as well to make that happen. Chromoly frame on the XX will at least 10lbs. I am shootin for 420 dry, already half way there.

 

[700xxmaniac]

[TRX700XX]

I thought about building a new frame outta chromoly. You going for stock replacement or something differant ?
I was going to build 4 differant chassis's for differant types of racing.
1: XC
2: MX
3: Desert
4: Hybrid. # 4 is alot of $s but it would look sweet !

 

[TRX700XXX]

How about interchangeable straight axel/ independent rear frame?

Baxter....a side note...I am really jealous of your ability to fund you XX development....there, I'm good its out of my system...i feel better now

Stock replacement including the subframe and the botton/rear removable cradle.

Lee, I also got the XR water pump conversion done, need to send you pics. I need to find a bottom hose that has a certain bend to it to get it a little further away from the header.
