I think Weight Watchers / Jenny Craig would have been cheaper in the long run.

Got my 2012 Diavolo Nero down to 509lbs with a full tank of gas, with the weight distribution on the bike close to 50/50. It wasn't easy, well I guess it was, but it wasn't cheap.

Weight Loss Mods:

Ballistic Lithium L.W. Battery
An assortment of Titanium bolts (mainly for looks and corrosion resistance)
Aluminum Front Axle
Ohlins Forks (3lbs)
Brembo Billet Mono-Bloc Caliper ( <2lbs)
Arrow Ti Full Exhaust
Fender Eliminator
Removed all reflectors and evap canister

Other Mods:

Tuneboy Download & Dyno tuned
Powder Coated Pegs & Valve Covers
Painted Gauge Surround
Aluminum Oil Cooler Cover
Woodcraft Bar End Weights / Sliders
Front Axle Slider
Spielger Black Front Brake Lines (Clutch will follow but PITA to change)
Ducati 848 Matt Black Front Fender (Stock would no longer work with forks)
LED Turn Signals
Renthal Bar (mainly for looks and Bar end change)

Future Mods:

Rossopuro Carc Bar
Ohlins Rear Shock
Spiegler Rear Brake line (not on file yet, will have to send mine to them to copy)
More Ti Bolts
Powder Coat Shifter & Brake Lever
Remove Rear Peg Mounts / Fabricate - Powdercoat Exhaust Hanger

Wish List Mods:

Ti or Aluminum Oil Fill & Drain Bolts (I can get them made / Expensive / Have to Order in Quantity)
Ti Valve Cover Bolts (Same reason as above)
Ti Rear Wheel Bolts (I have the size just can't find them)
Modify the Seat (so it flows into the tail section)
BST Carbon Wheels (Anyone want to offer me anything on the stockers)



Of course some of these mods have a minimal weight savings and I changed out most of the bolts for titanium for the looks and corrosion resistance. The biggest weight savings came from changing the battery and the exhaust, followed by the forks and calipers, with the other items following.

Pics to follow

If I'm missing something or anyone has a unique mod please chime in.
 
Buy a new set of scales, got my Bellagio down to 477lbs (217kg).
Dry spec is 223kg, wet is 238kg

Your bike currently equates to 231kg. Allowing the same 15kg of fluids as mine you are down to 216kg.
Stock dry weight is quoted as 222kg.

Would have thought pipes and Lithium would get wet weight closer to that. Have you added extra accessories?
 
Besides bar end weights, an aluminum oil cooler cover and a front axle slider that's about it. Maybe are scales are off but the weight is down from 525lbs when I weighed the bike before the exhaust went on. I'll have to check them.

Thanks for the heads up
 
Side question...

With the full Ti Arrow, any clue if on the 1100, you'd need a reflash?

According to the guys on the Italian GRiSO site who commissioned this custom run, everything was designed to function seamlessly with the stock mapping with respect to fueling, emissions, and noise limitations. The entire system has been certified as Euro 3 compliant.

Reading the translated posts of those who've employed the whole system or just a combination of the three parts, no changes to the mapping have been necessary. Personally, I have found that just the stainless steel slip-on exhaust on my 1200 SE has required no changes in stock mapping and runs flawlessly.

The system is available here at the only vendor, GRS in Perugia. The costs listed are pretty much right on for shipment to the USA as the shipping costs are virtually identical to the VAT amount.
