I currently have 2 Ninja 300's, one is a superbike build with some spears goodies. The other is going to be a supersport build to hop in with CCS for next year. Currently torn down almost to the frame as I prepare it to get the works. Hopefully in the realm of where yours is once said and done.
I hadn't messed with weight reduction all year on my superbike build, last week I finally removed a lot of misc plastics and brackets. When I weighed it in the spring she was a fat pig at 331lbs with roughly 1/3-1/2 tank of gas. Can't remember if my lap timer/gopros were on or not. I plan to weigh it before my race this weekend at Hastings with track addix so I'll have an updated figure soon. I should note the lightweight wheels were a customers that he let me get the weight off of. Hopefully I can pick up a set soon though

Mine is a 250. I just saw where yours is a 300. Most of the weight I've saved was from cutting off pretty much every tab that wasn't holding something and cutting off the passenger section of the subframe. A lithium iron battery of course. The fairing stay very light and made from composite hockey stick shafts and sheet aluminum. It has held up through 9 3hr endurance races and two crashes, so not too bad. If I replaced the fairing I'd save three or four pounds worth of bad repairs from the previous owner. Still a lot I can do. I'd like some nice aftermarket wheels as well.
