Coolant overflow

That bike is way too light...

TLR and light do not belong in the same sentence. I'm curious as to how much weight he will shed off of it by street fightering it out.

What if you just got a whatever sized stainless steel threaded nipple, put a cap on one end, and put a cap on the other end with a hole in it for overflow. Or you could tap it and put on a barbed fitting???

Threaded nipples go by diameter and length. If you interested I may have some at our office but not sure on what diameters or lengths we have.

That's an interesting idea... I'm still gonna try this first:


I guess it was a Jim Beam flask, not a Jack Daniels. That's probably why it leaks.

No, the TLS is the one with the trellis frame... However, your idea is VERY cool.

Yeah, I am too. I am going to make my own tail lights and signals out of an acrylic bar I bought off eBay... and I'm going overkill by using 0.050" AL sheet to make the undertail tray... four fog lights give it a couple of lbs too... however, I have a bunch of 0.100" carbon fiber sheets that I am going to use for brackets and whatnot... I should be keeping the weight down to a minimum.

I know all the shit I just sold off the thing - plastics and whatnot - were almost 40lbs (by my best guess) and I should be able to drop another couple by removing the pair valve and hacking off half of the subframe (and along with that the passenger shit and those ridiculous heat sheilds)...

Eventually I'm going to try to find a retarded deal on some wheels - in the least, some old Aprilia RSV Mille's - non radial - that will fit up with minimal effort and shave off another 5-7lbs or so. I'm always on the lookout for ti exhaust too... though that's pipe dream shit... my budget is going to be next to nothing... I just wish I could find some of those deals like I've seen on TL Planet... you see that guy who bought a wrecked bike with Ohlins rear suspension, Marchesini or something similar wheels, full exhaust, and a number of other bits? Yeah, he got it for like $1k. THAT's the sort of deal I'm looking for.
