I think a gixxer thou's dry weight is 170 kgs, so the 150 figure may be possible, but with fuel I'm unsure of the weight.
My K7 gsxr 1000.

LOL WHA ?
Some nice mods there.
I really like good carbon but I see it as enhancing the look of a bike in small areas. Not a fan of the total carbon look and I don't like covers at all.
150KG is very optimistic. The biggest weight saving will be from the new exhaust. Bodywork will make a difference but not a huge one and you do have extra covers.

I'd have thought that after the exhaust, the next largest weight saving (ignoring rider, frame, rear subframe and engine) would be wheels.
Grab a pair of carbon wheels to reduce unsprung mass and you'll not only achieve your goal of reducing weight, you'll improve the bike handling as well. Not something that the other carbon bits and bobs will do.

but each to their own

Not a fan I'm afraid. 500g of weight saved on the fuel cap but then a load of CF bling thrown on.
Introducing....
The HM Quickshifter Plus...
Verdict, I ******* love it
After watching Osset Mito's vids I did some eBay searching, due to not having a power commander I had to fork out £370 for the item, then a couple of hours labor and dyno time. So I gave it a miss..... Until I get a text from Jase750 telling me a shop had one in, 2nd hand, and he said he'd fit it and dyno it for £250, fooooking quality.
Only just got back from the bike shop but I'll get a video tomorrow. But it now changes gear like this and sounds immense.

I've ridden a gixxer 750 with quickshifter and it's a very weird feeling, but the rate of acceleration you can maintain is crazy
It's a very odd feeling. Never having to drop off the RPM when shifting, you can go down the box too, but I wouldn't recommend it lol
Tinted my own lenses today.
Fitted.
Fitted.
I don't ride on track, I don't drive so I have no way of getting the bike there.

You need to fit carbon engine covers to it to finish the look as you've done the rest of it.
looks ok i guess.

Bikes back together, honest opinions please.

love the nose, seat and belly pan. not a fan of the stick on bits.
Are you going to get the main panels in carbon?
