a good way to get a reliable weight for any vehicle is to bring it down to a local scrap yard, and ask to put it on their scale. they are very accurate. I would love to see some pics of your bike. The plan for mine is to ride it the way it is this summer, and then over the winter, I want to build A more refined version of my fairing. That one will be all fiberglass made using wet lay up in female molds so that I can keep the tooling, and reproduce it at will.I might want to do some weight reduction at that point, but right now it's pretty heavy with all the body work.

if you can come on saturday, that's when they go over the results, and most of the bikes are still there. It would be worthwhile, I think.
