Simpler Solution: CA does not occupy space on cycles. [Explanation: Like 0-sp. passengers, the bulk is all "exterior" to the cycle.]

Or knock 100 lbs. off the body weight?
A large part of the problem: Most accessories came along after the Cycles were developed; there's been no mechanism for "updating" Cycles to carry all the new stuff.

Subcompacts are easily fixed:
1) Drop body wgt to 750 lbs.
2) 2-sp. turrets re-legalized for Compacts; Subcompacts may carry 1-sp. turret.
250 lbs. for a Sub is 50 pts. of armor; which sounds like a lot until one has divide it amongst 4-6 armor locations. Then there's all the extras like Wheelguards and Wheelhubs (even in events which don't allow tire shots, those are desirable adds). With the Turret reconfiguration, a Sub with a Medium PP can have a (note singular) 360-degree weapon.
