Weigh in

So tonight I weighed the bike as a starting point. Totally non-scientific using a couple of cheapo bathroom scales, but it will do for what I need. It was 240lbs on the front and 265lbs on the rear. This will give me an idea of how much weight gets removed/added.

I also ran the bike for a couple of minutes, but it rattled quite a bit. I don't think I'll bother putting any effort into the motor, I'll just sell it as is. So next step is to remove all the junk I don't need and weigh it again.

Front tire went soft over night, so I'll have to add two new tires to the project cost. I bought my first piece today - a replacement front brake lever. Woo hoo!

Dropped the engine out tonight. It now weighs 100 front and 120 rear, (without tank, fairings or seat), so 235ish lbs to start with. I'll clean it up a bit, tidy up my mess, and take some pictures.

I think I'll mock up a D&D Sepex even though I'm not certain that's what I'm going with and play around with some ideas I've had for motor mounts.

Right now though I need a beer. :D
