Ok Adam, when you weighed your frame, did you have the centerstand and sidestand attached as in the picture? I'm getting ready to finish my welds on my stripped frame and I want to compare apples to apples.
One more thing I'd like to do during this build is to document the weight of parts that I take off and the those that I install to see what net loss (or gain? :blink: ) I will achieve. The SSSA weighed in at 34.5 lbs sans wheel and tire. The stocker with wheel and tire weighed in at 64.5 lbs. So as long as the Triumph wheel and tire are under 30 lbs, I'll have lost some weight!
Now the frame weighed in at 53.5 lbs, but I'll be removing less and adding more, so I don't expect to loose much weight here. Now I just need some paint remover and an argon refill.....

You lost more than 7 lbs, my rear suspension weight did not include the weight of the stock shocks. You lost an additional 8 lbs removing the stockers. Thats a 15 pound diet
