so me and my friend are taking the bike apart and we're removing the rear swing arm w/ wheel assembly and the front forks with w/ assembly. just trying to get an idea of how much the frame with the motor attached to it will weigh. i guestimated for it to be around 250-300 pounds or so? can it be picked up by two average sized people?

it can be picked up by two average size ppl for sure....i just did this. make sure you remove the headers and have a good stable place to set the aasy down. also make sure you have blocks & rags as the engine does not sit anywhere close to flush with anything, that was the hardest part of it for us.

Did you figure out the exact weight?
I know the whole bike full with gas with race plastics and stock exhaust, weigh 428 Lbs. We measured at Englishtown, NJ before a drag race. I want to reduce to 330 Lbs. :scratch
