It’s a hell of a lot cheaper to eat fewer pies hahahahahah!
McDonalds!
I like IT 👌👌👌👌
Did your wallet feel a lot lighter too after that session?
How about titanium coins?
This is the most usefull video I've ever seen on bike modifications, great bike, great result, awesome video !
The biggest weight saving can be made with the rider getting off the pies. Much cheaper option too 😉😂
I know the good book says, “thy shalt not covert another man’s bike”, but that Duke is bloody gorgeous ❤️😍
Top job as always Lamb Chops 👍
Thanks Bruce!!! :-)
Your Super Duke has officially become my favorite out there. Great job man!!!
I just came across with your channel and really noticed how much work there is behind that video. As a creator, I understand how difficult is to work on your motorbike as you are filming. Really enjoyed your video and your personality :). I always wanted to own a super duke but I finally ended up getting the Z1000, which I also really love.
Keep the great work!

Bloody hell done well! Removing the center stand and changing the giant exhaust for a stainless carbon exhaust system saved me 4.5kg on my xj6. Even if I get a lithium batt I'm still behind lol having said that the xj6 is still 10 tons 😚
A cup of coffee, and a vid of the Duke....what a great way to wake up ! Nice vid , I hear the Isle of man calling for you Sir. First Duke on the track, you'll make history !!!!
Thanks Chris, yeah would be great to blat it round there!!
Hey Lamb Chop watching your videos is expensive because i'm going to invest £76 (inc post to France) in a lithium battery for my gen 2 1290 but a 4 kg weight saving for £76 is a really good money to weight ratio. Your 1290 looks fab, i think gen 1 1290 is nicer looking bike than gen 2, steering damper looks tempting too. Just bought Arrow pot for mine, sounds fab! You suggested to meet up in May when you come down this way. Drop me a line if you do & i'll show you some fab roads.
Man I'm just binge watching all your upgrades, on the 1290 R. They told me on last past Monday should be ready for pickup tomorrow, I hope. Just having many of these parts would most likely bolt on new 2020. First upgrade full exhaust, the build quality is gorgeous on the Austin, or may go with Akrapovic. First time ever seen a single sided rim removed, now I got purchased stand should got them thrown in.
Mr Chops, it’s already the most blinged up Super Duke I’ve ever seen. Looking forward to seeing it in flesh at Loomies!
It would be interesting to to see your spread sheet showing the original price of the bike and then a list of the upgrades (retail) as it must be knocking on now.
Yeah that's an idea.. Would be scary though!!
This is a good idea. Review all the bits on your bike. We can decide which ones work for us.
The wait for weight savings is over. However, the glory of this bike goes on forever. Well done!
Hey, loving the build series, one of the nicest ktm dukes out there in my opinion
Definitely the best looking Superduke bar none!
awesome from across the pond... may be getting a duke this spring
Bike looks great!! I had a pair of carbon dymags on my 2000 Suzuki Hayabusa. And, I luved um. Made huge difference in steering. Congrats!
Looking good John, have to take a good look at this next time you at Bury Hill.
That bike is stunning LC. Nice work. Make sure you get the torques right on the fasteners. Lol
Any chance you could weight the whole bike, for an actual wet weight as it is now? Awesome bike 👍🏼
I took the pillion pegs of the r125 0-60 in... oh wait it's bloody windy again never mind!
what year and colour mate, i had a 2015 black. loved it, just switched to 2017 duke 390
I wouldn't have put any thought into carbon fiber wheels until hearing your explanation.
Yo man. Astonishing. What an amazing SD this'll be.
That battery is sure money well spent, I also lost over eight LBs on mine by fasting for three days ;
Beautiful bike. Incredible carbon wheel upgrade
Good things come to those that work hard. Very nice mods. 🖒
Looks absolutely awesome Chops! In my dreams for me to get mine to this level... That exhaust and those wheels are fantastic.
Thanks Lucky!
Guy is MAD !!!! thats what we want
wel done Chops, I've been doing something similar to my bikes over the winter. You really can save a good chunk of weight from the basics - Battery, Wheels, Exhaust, then get fancy with the Titanium :-) IT aint cheap .. but it looks great and its very satisfying - just don't let the wife find the receipts !!!!
First look at this video I thought it was 44teeth 😂. Great video as always keep them coming
Can never have too much Carbon :P Looks mega, and almost 10kg saving in total, thats pretty damn good
Thanks Sam
Looking good chops. The old wallet must have some weight loss as well.
Thought is was the Guy from unbox therapy. Sick upgrades.
Thanks for posting such good vids mate. I love the garage and straight forward projects you do as we (Most I reckon) think you are enjoying doing it. You've taken over the "Top of the Pop's" for me by just doing all these regular gigs mate with MSF in 2nd. BVG has gone out to lunch. I'm looking for a Super Duke myself to try out. Cheers!
Thanks very much Paul appreciate the kind words buddy
Chops the bike is looking very sexy indeed very lucky guy indeed. Glad things are going great for you you produce some great videos. Take it easy fella looking forward to future projects and videos.
Thanks Dave appreciate that matey
Great work, it all adds up, If nothing else its an exercise in engineering and seeing how far you can go to reduce weight particularly unsprung mass. Awesome!
whatupg1 an exercise in engineering? he's not making the parts...lol.
Sexy. Just keep in mind titanium aren't as strong as high tensile steel bolts.
That duke is looking good
I'm not a fan of the Superduke's looks at all, (looks like a giant dirtbike to me), but I still find your videos very entertaining, and as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder! I had a set of BST carbon wheels on my Tuono, and while the difference in steering etc was very noticeable, the odd thing I discovered was in regard to getting heat in to the tyres, they just never seemed to get up to temperature. I'm interested in your experience. Cheers.
Thanks very much, I've had no problems with heating up tyres. Just got back from an epic 1500 mile ride through the Pyrenees and to the B500 in Germany and tyres were cooking. Wheels really impressed in the tight switchbacks up the mountains. Full videos to come of course 😎😎
Well that's interesting, maybe I got a bad tyre???...the B500 looks like an amazing road. I'm over in Oz, but if I ever get over that way, it's definitely on my "To Do" list. I look forward to the videos! Thanks for your reply.
Yeah, s'pose it looks alright. Might have to tie it down on windy days now though!
Haha yeah it's likely to float away at any moment 😂😂
Andy Man Cam What Do you mean?
Great topic, interesting info on the carbon maybe not quite the weight saving over the plastics as one might have expected. However it more than makes up for that by looking delicious!
Mad vid, thinning the beast up... Love the marvel inspired intro btw
Damn, so much bling. Looks awesome! I’m so OCD I’d be too scared to ride it in case it gets dirty.
Ahhh chopsy, die hard is on! Guess I need to pause it to see these wheels of yours! 😜
I can tell your a little bit excited over your mods, looks brilliant and no doubt goes like a rat up a drainpipe.
Wow looks amazing Chops I bet you can't wait to go out on her and give it a bloody good thrashing 👍
now all you need is a titanium frame ;)
Will Hyde, Aluminium frames are much lighter than Titanium.
Superb build Choppsie I don't see how you could part with this bike.
This is the one bike build Chops I will rewatch . Can't get enough of KTM SDRs.
Wow. Your bike is becoming something way light years beyond the concept of "special"...
Very nice just need to remove the RnG bobbins an engine guards, guessing that new steering damper in heavier then oem also?
Shame you couldn’t weigh total bike, guessing around 200kg fully wet and fun. I bet the exhaust saves a good chunk over normal super dukes.
Yes need to weigh the bike properly now, it must be under 200kg wet now what with the full Akro system too!
Thanks for those links Chops, was looking for a rear hugger for my 2015 S 1000 RR without the cutout and I found it on FF Carbon, keep up the interesting modding and vlogging videos'
Another great vid chops, I think I speak for most of when I say thank you for uploading all of your superduke videos over the last few months starting with your virgin face review episode up to now. Many of us have been hiding our bikes away during the winter and come here for our quick fix of bike porn.
Hope to see you out and about on the KTM this summer. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the track test vid.
Thanks very much Gregster! Appreciate the kinds words matey
You could always go jogging and shed 1.5 stone off that bike. Result ! 😂 looking forward to that vlog 👍
Already done David, lost 1.5 stone also
Love it 😃
Outstamding job Chops👍👍😆😆..... great vid as usual.... bet you cant wait to ride it!!??.....steering damper in orange though?????. Keep up the good work. Cheers Mark.
Thanks Mark
Well done Lamb,.... Still can save more non-suspended weight by changing secondary transmission and fitting an AFAM Racing Alloy kit with 520 chain instead of 525 and alloy sprockets (for track mainly) ... Then you can go for Neken carbon handlebars, Strada7 carbon levers, Samco silicone radiator pipes, Pro-bolt full titanium engine bolt kit, etc.... What's the total weight saved compared to a fully standard 1290SDR 2014 ? keep your channel going that well & ride safe. V
Yeah when Im back from Spain chain and sprockets will be changed for lightweight Renthals, not sure I will change the chain to a 520 as with all that torque might be pushing my luck...
No worries about 520 chain, that's what they use in MotoGP & SBK... Fitted on my previous Panigale 1199 S with +++195hp & 13.5 Mkg of torque. V
AFAM only do a 525 kit and it's steel. You'd be mad putting an alloy sprocket, especially in a 520 pitch on a torque monster like the 1290.
those wheels are sick af
The most beatifull KTM Ever!! nice job!! greetz from Munich
The bikes looking great !
I can't be the only one wondering how much that lot would set you back ? The wheels alone must be $$$$££££...
Glen whyte 2.3-2.8 k
Well I got some very good deals... There are some perks to this PB and CZcams gig you know ;-)
Lamb Chop Rides Well deserved choppsy
I gained 20kg over the winter. Im not winning any medals this season...
No, but I guess you can review you're favorit Chips, Pizza and energy drink brand? A good review might win a medal?
You should buy carbon fiber clothes
@@themarenda Or eat more fibers and less carbohydrates.
All that yumy carbon.... Will be undone by one burger, think on Chops :D
Looking good chops looking good
20lbs savings!! Damn, well done
Not sure about the bark busters, but love the look of it, test rode one but sadly hated it, probably just me. Keep the videos coming, saw the new sv in the background what do you think?
You nailed it again, super interesting vid. Really interested to get tour feedback on how it rides with the new wheels, and if it's worth the price.
yeah will keep you posted dude!! :-)
Hi mate me again lol
Got the beast yesday love it
One question where did you get the mirrors you have?
Well done mate. Thanks for filming. Cheers
Stunning! Might i sugest A carbon akra pipe and a small dark screen to stop bugs getting into the back of the clocks and giving it a more sleek look. Also does anyone do a lower fairing to cover the front of the engine carbon of course . Stones and shit being directed straight on these parts never made sense to me. I get that it is a naked. I just think some of the practical side of things has been bypassed with nakeds.
These would be the only things i would add to this bike and it is done. Pimped to perfection.
Bad ass Super Duke, very nice..
That SDR is mega but I'm surprised replacing the can/cat combo isn't in the plans. Another huge weight savings to be had there and tons less expensive than all the carbon and titanium.
It already has the full Akro titanium evolution system, saves 6KG over standard
ah, cool. It looked like a stock can in the video. My bad
You need to get an anodized rear wheel nut to match the anodized hubs!
already sorted ;-)
Welcome home Sean Connery 🤤. Another great vids.
Great video onces again mate, keep up the good work.
That was proper modding Chops, really interested on how the new corsas 2 perform. I'm looking on the new Dunlop Sportsmart TT, but this ones looks good too! Cheers
Yeah will keep you posted but first impressions very good!
So if my calculations & conversions are correct, you saved just over one metric fuck-ton of weight. Impressive :)
Stunning bike mate.
Thanks Bimble :-)
Chopsy's dealing scales lol
Great video well done lcr.. tempted to get lion battery and carbon wheels now. Your bike looks awsome
Also you already have the akra titanium evo exhaust system compared to stock that would be a mahooosive saving
Yeah I need to weight that too.. Must be another 6kg at least I would think...
A friend changed his 2015 r1 exhaust for titanium system . Removing his cat alone was 8kg
What a beautiful bike, I need one of these in my life 😍
Damn you Chop! Cheers!
Great ContenT LAMB Chops, any ECU errors on the Superduke!
Really liking your SuperDuke vlog. Soooo good. That bike is god damn sexy, so hard not to swear right now! So if I’m right this bike now weighs close to 180 kg dry with 175 bhp at the rear wheel? Epic 😎. Just realised you’ve a full system too, what’s the weight saving on that?
Thanks Toby, yes your probably right as already had the full akro and other carbon bits before I lost the extra 10kg! Will get it weighed probably shortly as I want to know :-)
Lamb Chop Rides Damn just looked, near 6kg saving on exhaust I think, I’m guessing close to 16-17 kg saved😲 that could be total weight now at 173 kg dry, holy cow that’s super bike power to weight levels.
This bike could actually be a one to one power to weight 😎nice
Going to have to get it weighed properly now!!
Seems to be much cheaper to cut down on bodyfat instead.
Looking good Chopsy. :-D
I love it! awesome project ;) subbed
@ Lamb chop : Did you have to modify the traction control system and abs because of the lighter wheels ? I know that on the Tuono V4 if you replace the pirelli super corsas by rosso corsas, you have to modify a parameter in the "dashboard". Sorry for my bad english. Thanks.
Are the carbon fiber standard gloss finish or are they black clear coat finish?? Reason I ask is because I’m looking to get me a set and don’t know if I should go with standard gloss or black coat? Thank you. Awesome video
Those wheels really set it off with the orange centres , this is bike porn lol 😂
Amazing! Absolutely breath taking bike man. I just signed the paperwork yesterday for a 2018 and take in a few days. I'll be analyzing all your videos and doing as much as my budget will allow but I have to ask right away where you got your bark busters? They are a really nice touch
Thanks mate, the bark busters were from R&G racing listed on thier website 👍
Cheers man! Keep up the incredible work in these videos. By the way I fucking love the 1290 intro! 🤘
Very well done, great video as well as mods and weight savings! Thanks for taking the time to put it all together. It does sound crazy expensive though, the total weight savings for the carbon parts can't be much compared to price? I'd rather work out once a week and spend the money on gas instead, lol!
Yeah carbon bolt on parts add up to about 250 grams saving so cost per weight removed is very high but they look so much better also don't forget that :-) I've worked it out i've removed just over 20kg in total from a stock bike, Ti exhaust, mirrors, rear footpegs off etc. So bnow must be about 175 kg dry.. I had it dynoed at 175 hp rear wheel so must be close to the 1:1 power weight ratio now :-)
Gotta be the Best looking bike in the UK wow...also Sean Chops will you be changing the rear white shock spring to an orange one ?
Nah love my white shock :-)
Nice bit of weight saving there Chops. Just leaves the weight saving by swapping beer and burger for water and salad 😛
Already done, lost 1.5 stone also from my belly hehe
Well done Chops, you're a better man than I
Been catching up with some of your vids LC. Loving all the bling and garage build vids. Well Jell as the kidz would say. What lever guards do you have fitted to the Duke? I'm thinking of getting a set for my 'Blade and yours look rather pretty.... :)
Thanks Mac wondered where you had been :-) Lever guards are Oberon ones, nicked them off the blade as it happens hehe
Yeah - I went into hibernation over the winter. Unlike when bears do it, I didn't lose any of my winter fat. Looks like those Oberon lever guards are as rare as a Womble haircut, their website is down and can't find other resellers. I'll have to look at the Lightech ones...
Just checked site is up www.oberon-performance.co.uk/ get em bought they are really well made. Wombles haircut, Ive not seen anything like it since the 70's!!
Ah cheers - the site must have just been down earlier as it is working now. I'll check 'em out!
Seen the Evotech Clutchcover for the LC8 engine ? Just got one for my RC8.
Amazing job! I’m really curious about the wheel swap effect. 10kg is huge! It’s like having half tank of petrol I can feel the difference on my bike but shells make me really curious.
Cool, saved around 9kg but I would like to see the measured overall weigh of the bike before and after as well. Obviously you can't put all those bits back on to weigh it before, but could you please weigh the bike after? I want to know the new wet weight
I did some calculations based on measurements given to me by a friend for stock items I've removed. Mirrors, the exhaust system, passenger footpegs etc, 20kg total!! Should put it 175 kg dry... I will get it weighed though as I'm desperate to know myself 😎
I think nice machined alu brake fluid reservoirs would reeeeally improve the looks of the bike!
What are you doing with the exhaust,bars,yokes,seat and controls etc ? I can see another few Kilos saved along the way like the way the bike is moving along and looking forward to some more upgrades and reviews
Exhaust is already 100% titanium so nothing much to do thier, that alone frees up 5kg. Controls bars it needs to remain road legal and practical so won't mess with those tbh
Are you gonna do a little comparison between headlight bulbs?
I was always told that the lithium battery's were no good for big twins.
Well will let you know, had one on the blade for 4 years not issues at all, never even had to charge the thing. But yeah its not a V-twin hehe
Lamb Chop Rides looked into them when I had my old tuono and speed triple but was told by multiable people there no good for cranking big torque motors. Think they do the first few times but can't manage if you stop and start but depends on what you use the bike for.
Another enjoyable Vid Chops. Thanks for the effort and for sharing. I see you did a bit of modification to your abba stand. Did you realy need the extra bolt at bottom of the right side?
No its standard... not changed nothing on it
Lamb Chop Rides I have an abba stand dont have that extra bolt.
