Blank frame with tires is under 160LBS. I am about 240, so I have 400LBS before the motor and batteries are even on my doorstep.
Tiresnew treaded ones....the kind that make lots of smoke when the front break is depressed and the throttle is cranked...
Conversion Timeabout 10 hours so far...
Conversion Costmore than my wife would like to hear, the bike was at least mine to begin with. I can sell the carbs for a pretty penny and a few other parts will help in covering the cost......
Additional FeaturesChopping the rear end off and welding up a hard tail. Gives more space for the motor, which clears up more space for more go-go juice in the batteries.
