Henry was kind enough to whip up some billet spacers for the Lesters. I'm moving them over from the H2 to the H1, and will use the Akronts on a future project.
What's funny is that I thought I was going to be adding weight by mounting the Lesters, but it turns out I knocked almost 2 pounds off of the weight of the Aluminum Akronts. :lol: Whooda thunk?

Also lost another pound by moving the Hagons over from the hybrid. (Billet Works Shocks are each 8oz heavier :shock:)
The chrome HAGON decals looked dumb so had these Red/Black ones made (thanks mn-mark!)

and yeah.. I've got some "detailing" to do. The bike has been uncovered in the dusty shop since the begining of November.

I HATE Winter

Looking good Cody (except for what looks like an EU fender - HA!). I like my Hagons - they handle my 240lbs butt well. So I don't worry too much about the weight I can trim off my H2 - LOLOLOLOL.

You can take a guess at whooda thunk. :D

You'd save another 1/10 ounce by just taking the Hagon labels off and not replacing them, but I have to admit Mark's work looks cool.

The H1 hub weighs 7+ lbs (10mm wider than S, with a big steel insert cast into the center). Your S hub on the Hybrid weighs around 4lbs...I think you will be pleased with the weight its wheel comes in at, that will under cut the Lester. ;)

You are going to ruin his day LC! :lol:
Looks good on him though... making the comment about his bike needing detailing and all! Makes the common folk here feel inadequate.
