Cmt carbon fiber gas tank, think seat foam or guts phantom, ti footpegs, carbon fiber skid plate. I'm building a harescramble bike while I recover from acl replacement surgery. Any other light weight parts you guys might have? Thinking outside the box, thanks guys 256_874_7648

Depending on your current set up, you might knock about 2 lbs off running these items.

I've personally used the 26'' fat bike inner tube before successfully for motocross, however I'm not sure I would recommend it for Hare Scrambles.
The easiest and cheapest way for you to save weight:
-Remove and cut off/smooth back the rear caliper guard and rotor guard mounts
-Replace all the bolts under the tank (fuel pump, electrical fittings etc) with alluminium. Cheap, big savings and no effect on strength as the components aren't under any load
-RM250 screenless filter cage
-Simpify the crank breather to a single tube. Direct it straight back to the rear shock/swingarm
-Get an aluminium rear sprocket (stock is steel)
Your new exhaust will save a good few pounds. There are also a lot of gains to be had from the seat. I used a Guts Phantom foam and saved 1 lb. Titanium bolts and pegs save decent weight, concentrate on the larger bolts first.
Todd Gravitt has some awesome parts, he posted an advert on here recently. Alternatively check out his ebay shop:

The Shop
Ti pegs
arc melon levers
motion pro rim lock
starcross softs
Ti exhaust systems
I can sell you all of that discounted from Rocky Mountain & give you a 30% code for phantom seat foam
That's off the top of my head. I have a lot more as well as 450 parts
