The oil pump and all it's parphinalia (including the litre and 1/2 of oil you're going to have in the system as you're paranoid if you can't see any in the top bottle must weigh 2 or 3 kilos (as well as rendering the bike a million times more awkward to work on), the o.e. pipes and cans weigh a ton, my entire Tyga system and some supposed titanium cans weigh less than one o.e. pipe (someone on the RGV forum reckoned the weight saving on his RGV was 8kg just swapping pipes and cans). The o.e. bodywork is super heavy whereas you really can't leave fibreglass race fairings lying around outside, they do blow away.
The rear subframe has a ton that can come off it if you're running std shape bodywork, the tyga one is pretty minimal already though an ally option would be nice.
Tyga also make ally screen braces and instrument mounts.

You must be able to lose 20kg, it makes a big difference, I can just push my bike up the ramp into the van easily, Andy's in full road trim is a tad more scary.
Steve you got any weights for the F3 bikes compared to the road going versions?

And Dave, I've lost around 16kg myself
