Reply #15 - 01/20/09 at 10:45:32 If you're going to use a scale, one wheel at a time, you need to elevate the other wheel to equal height.... maybe use a 2" by 4" or some thing...

Nearly ran over myself pushing it up the scale....(if you try it,..turn the scale sideways or you'll park on top of the numbers) Duh!.... How do I know this?... don't ask.... 164/186 = 350lbs total, half a tank of gas... thought I was lighter....I'm disappointed....

Reply #18 - 01/20/09 at 18:01:21 How many times did you weigh it? I noticed my scale...or myself...had a lot of variation haha. I took the average. I was using a digital scale though. I'm going to head over to the feed store scale tomorrow morning and hopefully get a true number. Serowbot, I also thought mine weighed less

88,...we came up with the same total weight!.....170/180,..164/186 = 350lbs...

'cept mine is lighter in front and heavier in the rear....

"Honey,... Does this bike make my a$$ look big?".... Grin

Reply #20 - 01/20/09 at 23:15:13 Ya but the scale I used gave me a lot of variation so maybe we are the same front and rear. I guess if you take into consideration that I pretty much almost photocopied your bike..or your ideas at least. Sorry don't hate me for copying, I liked your style, great minds

Reply #21 - 01/20/09 at 23:49:32 Nope,..yours has a 'tude of its own......nice... and I may not be completely accurate either...... I was dancing around like a monkey on a bungee, trying to balance the bike and read the scale at the same time....... it's as close as I could get....

I haven't jettisoned the stock muffler yet that will be good for at least 5-10.

Here is the pic only larger. It's called Cafe Ala Carte. If you do a search there a couple other threads on the build so far.

It was taken for the title work. It was a rough build to get the title for a 40 year old frame that had never been titled. Now it is time to build the bike the way I really want it. If you like this one the final version will blow you away. Check out my web site (in signature line) for a couple of other projects I built.

I just yesterday (2/23/09) happened to look at the Suzuki website, curious about the MSRP of the '09 S40. They now list the curb weight instead of the dry weight. They say the curb weight includes all fluids, brake fluid, oil, battery acid, and full fuel. The curb weight is listed as 381 pounds. They do not break it down front/rear.
