I have seen various posts referring to wheels that were lightened. From what I can gather it seems like people have the rims machined in some manner.

Does anyone have additional information on this procedure, e.g. how much weight can be removed, any safety issues, a recommendation on where to have this done?

My ninja does exclusive racing and track day duty for both my son and myself.

I’m old and fat and need all the help I can get plus I’m the only 250 in the field running against all 300’s.

Thanks
