whats your weight Ironlung ?

I'm 85 kg and after I replaced the std. can with the Akra the bike "felt" better. I didnt think about it - but that could be because now my weight plus the saved weight from the cans is now equal to a standard rider

I just went and weighed myself, 80kl with all my riding gear on (yes idid feel stupid when my girlfriend walked in )
My new exhaust weighs next to nothing, and its not under the seat so the bike just feels a nervous, though mabey because its so much lighter it just feels diffrent?
