Very nice.
I'm surprised the fuel cap weighs over 1 pound.
Mine has a hinge, who knows what it weighs. Not me.

The stock cap only weighs about .9lbs, I was a little aggressive with my rounding.Very nice.

thanks for posting this. i want to do the same thing. on another note. is adjusting the chain fairly basic or is there a trick to it. and what size is the nut. thanks for your help.Added an Ohlins DU125. Easy install. I was able to buy two 100mm long M12x1.25 bolts at the hardware store to support the bike. Just remove the special swingarm pivot caps on the rearsets and you can thread them in there. A couple jack stands and you're off to the races. The top shock pivot is hidden behind the throttle side subframe bolt and requires a long allen key to reach. My 18v brushless impact didn't loosen the subframe bolt, but a quick application of an 18" breakover handle made short work of it. You don't have to remove the clutch side subframe bolt. Have barely ridden it, but the spring rate is a much better fit for my weight (200~210lb). It's certainly more composed in the rear over larger bumps and at least as comfortable over the little sharp edged jolts so nothing lost there.

If you look closely you can see a set of new black anodized CNC Racing chain adjusters, because why not. And the stock ones were a bit industrial.
i need to adjust mine. is it pretty basic or is there a trick to it. thanksI ride mine decently hard and have adjusted it twice in 2000 miles. Chain is ok for a stock chain. I had a Duke 790 and that chain sucked bad.
Just need 2 30mm sockets for the axle or open end wrenches, and I can't remember the size on the chain adjusters. Probably 12mm or so. Make sure to leave enough slack in the chain. The manual calls for ~50mm / 2in of slack when on the sidestand. When you sit on the bike the angle of the swingarm straightens, and it tightens the slack significantly so if you don't leave enough it will cause expensive problems.i need to adjust mine. is it pretty basic or is there a trick to it. thanks
