What I meant earlier is that I thought removing things like mirrors and signals would not make any real difference (and also you kinda need things like signals and mirrors) but 60 pounds are A LOT of weight.
signals are not required in washington state.
reducing the weight was pretty easy. signals, signal mounts. right hand mirror, every reflector, all that stuff adds up.
the biggest gain came from the bob job.. fender, fender rails, sissy bar. both seats. muffler change.
here's the end result, check out the lines from handle bars to rear wheel. down the tank and curved over seat and fender, and the dual triangles of front end and engine area. i spent alot of time getting the lines right, and i believe it shows. i bought the machine just so i could bob it. i was stripping off stuff the day i brought it home. every part i replaced has come off some other machine. 50 year old tail light, used supper trap, used chopper seat. seat springs off a thirty year old bicycle seat. handlebars from a junk pile. chrome fenders off a 25 year old gn400.
thats why everybody thinks it's an old harley. ask max, he's seen it in person. he provided the suppertrapp, and helped me burn off the rear tire. thanks max it's gotten alot of hits on youtube. only regret from that deal was it was just me and him. i watched a simular burnout on biker build off, the crowd went wild. and it wasn't even as good as mine. just in case you missed it
