Crankshaft Lightening ?? 101

[blaster800]

I would like to know if I can chuck my spare 760 crankshaft in a lathe and remove some weight from the outside diameter of the castings ? If so how many ounces ''safely'' for bottom end performance ?

When I got mine back there was "about" 1/8" of the material removed.
