So, using an electronic scale, and depending on where I put the upended frame and balance it in place, I get readings of 45.8 lbs, 46.2 lbs, and 51.1 lbs.

Thanks everyone, I will be in Phoenix this week end to ship that titled 80 KZ1000 frame back to Idaho. Wont be cheap but the plan is to use up some parts I have laying around. I bought a 74 Z1 and with that I got a chopper which had a chopped up KZ1000 frame and a 76 KZ900 engine in it. Titled frames are hard to come by so it will be mostly 80 KZ1000 parts with a few Z1parts thrown in. Should be interesting.

Sometime this spring I'm planning a trip to see Kevin.  He has a couple of bikes that would make a good project and I have most of the parts to make a nice bike.
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

Im pretty sure Greyhound isn't shipping items unless you are a a customer riding to that destination.
