Unsprung weight? It looks to me like the additional weight is all sprung.
Visionary - I suggest you move the engine over and back and eliminate the jackshaft. That will reduce weight and driveline losses. Also, you could go with a pull-start system like the California Commuter used. They adapted a lawnmower pull starter to turn the kick starter. That should save you some weight in the electrical system (smaller battery, no starter motor, no solenoid).
