I have compiled my list of things I have done to reduce the weight while still retaining street-ability. I ride about 95% on the street so take that into consideration. Please add anything you have come up with to add to the list.
Many of these are freebies! In grams.

Total 12,664g, 27.91lbs. It's a start, I would love to get down to 400lbs.
I think that's everything I have so far. I am getting different size nylon bolts to replace some other non-critical bolts. Looking at getting some Ti bolts for some of the bigger bolts, as I have a cheap source for bolts. 520 Chain kit this spring I'm sure will shed a couple pounds. I wonder what the solo seat weighs? The stock seat seems awfully heavy for just a seat! And no I can't afford carbon wheel!
No I don't need lectured on how a few grams here and there won't be noticed unless your a hardcore track addict. I don't care, I like modifying things, it's winter, and I'm bored.
Also some good stuff in here:
