Odd Ti bits - SV650.org

I'm looking for those last few bits to try and get my bike lighter but need help with the hunt.

Is it possible to get things like Ti Axles, dog bones etc. I know in the grand scheme of things the savings are negligable but I want them!!!!

These guys look like they make Ti (or Ti alloy) axles but they only list latest Gixers on their page. But I guess it means there may be some out there

Also Yoyodyne do Axles for Gixxers.
Rear may be more of a challenge though. Know anyone with a milling machine?

I've got an SRAD GSXR fitment titanium front axle, I got it from 21Quest (Yes, I know it's ridiculous, but i needed a front axle and it wasn't that expensive.)... I think it might be a TES Performance part, but it'd be worth asking him.

Worth emailing Yoyodyne, they sometimes have other items that aren't on the website, and they've been known to do small runs.

If you check the ACU I think Ti axles and spinles are not allowed as the shear strength is different, although its strong it can be brittle.
