If I weren't swapping out my front end, I would be all over this.

Any idea on the weight difference between stock/titanium?

Actually.... scratch that. I was breaking down an NT650 track bike tonight and lo & behold.... it had a titanium front axle. WTF are odds? It's just a tad longer but works perfectly. It weighs in a .50lb while the stocker weighs in at .75lb.

hell that's no problem, just grind off the female-threaded end a little and round it like the OEM so it starts in a little easier. Good that you found that little treasure.

wow, .25 lb savings for $100? Even for unsprung weight savings that's craziness. I guess it does have that "cool" factor though eh?

nice the one I had was a little different it was tapered a little bit on one side but yea the weight difference doesn't sound like much but hold the stock one and compare them and it's a big difference
