Mods: Magnesium rear wheel, "old man " pegs, HMF Exhaust with Akra TI Can from Ducati 1098 s.
Weight now 425 Lbs with full tank.
Have since made an aluminum hanger bracket that moved the band back about 3 inches from what's seen in this picture.

Nice!! Where did you get that magnesium rear wheel from? Iv been trying to get those for some time now.
How do you tell the difference between the magnesium rim versus the aluminum rim?

The Buell wheel is a "wheel", not Just a rim..!
Hub, spokes and rim, cast as one piece = wheel.
You need removable hub and spokes to have a separate "rim..".

Buell may still have some.
They only have rears, however, and no fronts.
Rear wheel came with tire and disk rotor and weighs about 6 or 7 Lbs less than the aluminum version.
The magnesium wheels are sand cast and have a rougher finish than the aluminum.

C.Dolans answer is not to be used as the proverbial, "Gospel".
If you take it that way...you might just be fooled.
There and "many" ways to manufacturer items both materials.

Info on wheels was relayed to me , directly from EBR.
I also weighed the magnesium wheel, which was 6 Lbs lighter than the aluminum wheel.
My SX is now down to 425 Lbs. ( with lighter exhaust and rear wheel ) .
I've only been riding and wrenching bikes for 50 years, so what do I know ?
So, there's your gospel for today.
