I did the hack delete of the seat. I do not record a weight for that part alone, but it was part of a 100lb delete. Your figure sounds close. It is a hack job. But my goal was to take out weight and re-purpose the back end to take garden and home repair supplies more easily, as well as construction waste runs to the dump. If you learn of a good seat source, or make one, I would love to see pics and a how to, because it would be fun to have a seat option available again on demand.
BTW, a person could make cloth/resin fenders an such with only moderate difficulty if you used the factory parts for a mold, no? Would be significantly lighter, no?
