If you want to match weight your pistons. Which you should. Here's where to remove the weight. There is 0.01 grams difference between my pistons with the pins and rings installed.
Your crank is really shinny mgentz, though I am a bit disappointed in Falicon's efforts at lightening it. For what you payed they should have done more. I have been told I can basically get it down to the one in the photo I posted earlier.

How much does your crank weigh?
I originally asked falicon about how light they could get it and showed them your pic. They said they would not do that and wondered about how that thing actually balanced.
In the end, I got a great discount (I did not pay list) for my super crank and I am very happy.
My concern for where you lightened the pistons is the amount of load the pin bore sees, but I reckon you'll be ok.
