Re: Biggest Loser...Not you!!!!
I had a monster and took the udder off, the bike didn't seem to handle any differently. But then again I didn't push it as far as one might during a race (though the cabbie into whom I wrecked might disagree ;D). I could see that it could case some degradation in handling, though. Probably very minor. By removing the udder you are moving the center of gravity up, and given that the damn thing weighs like 20+ lbs, the movement of the center of gravity is probably not trivial.
Still, it's probably not noticeable by mere mortals.
As for weight savings on my bike, I make sure to take a dump before every ride. It makes a big difference. Once I forgot and I could no longer wheelie in second. I also had to do eventually do it with leathers and riding boots in some bar. It wasn't very comfortable.
