Bdx hood without headlights, a arm/spindle kit, and rear skid arms will drop you atleast another 20#. Get rid of your wheels and foam for about 5# more.

Options are limited unless you want to spend some money, carbon fiber etc. BDX front end is a couple pounds lighter. Poo's gripper skis are a couple pounds lighter. There's a lot of little things you can do for little to nothing but nothing drastic.

Im with Elvis... & Im a cheap azz so...
used hps can -16 $300
bdx oil delete -8ish $28
hcr cooler -8ish $125 (2013 rear tunnel section, i'll cut and weld the stock cooler) even more weight while riding and not packing snow & ice.
mod stock hood, delete headlight -5 or -6 $40 ( aluminum sheet and frog skinz)
insulation, extra wheels and a couple trinkets here and there -5 $free
Thats at least -40lbs give or take a couple for under 500 bones.
Good call Samiam. 20 bucks a month to the gym 205 to 185. -20 off the riders azz...
I have Burandt Boards to put on as well. Im pretty sure they will end up lighter but not sure how much.
Now I just need some friggin motivation, -40* has made me loose interest:face-icon-small-dis

There is a guy selling lightweight cans on here for $175. I'd buy one but I have a can already
Are you talking about Burandt Boards that fit the 2013 Pro? I was thinking about doing this and bringing in the plastic so it would be narrower. Is this what you are planning on doing? And are you making a new stirrup to match the boards?
B
Yep, there sitting in the garage. I haven't decided if it's going to be easier to replace or mod the existing stirrup. I'll do the Wyoboy panel mod when the boards go on. Sled had the updates done at the dealer last month, it's been to cold to go get it, -30 to -40* sucks for starting sleds and my motivation.
Being in shape will make the sled feel lighter, but your weight in relation to the sled is a factor. I carry some "sledding ballast" on me so that the sled doesn't overpower me so easily!:face-icon-small-hap
In all reality though, sled weight in relation to your weight is important. A big guy can throw around a bigger sled. People always say for YOU to lose weight, but if you're just talking about losing weight as compared to gaining strength, that not going to do what you think it will in anything other than a straight climb (yawn). :yo:
B
True, but if you did P90X, I can assure you that you will loose weight & gain alot of strength... I do agree with the just loosing weight and not gaining strength theroy though.
S
I agree with that completely. But I'm not a munchkin like u BCIL, I am 6'3' and 240-250....so I am carrying that "ballast" around all the time. I think most people don't fall into the "need ballast" category. Most are in the "do p90x category". I only got one trip to Cooke last yr and I was 265 and SOFT. Biggest I've ever been and WORST YEAR I've EVER HAD by a long shot. Being strong and nimble will be far far more valuable than dropping 20#'s or even 30#'s off the sled...IMHO. So if u are there, spend the money, lighten the sled, and you will benefit. Otherwise focus on urself and reap the benefits....again IMHO.
The irony of some guys is amazing to me. When I was a young punk I rode with a group and there was a guy who 300-350 depending on the yr and he stuck $1000's into his sled lightening it up. $3500 for a fabfraft tunnel at one pt....saved 20lbs I think. Wow! And then he couldn't/wouldn't climb or push his sled and had other people take his sled up the ridge. Weird. He enjoyed it and that's good I guess... But definitely ironic. (Hope he isn't reading :0 )
Rant over.
