Yerf-Dog Pick-up stix anyone?
Well, I started with 48-foot of new tubing (weighing 44 pounds) and am now down to the last few pieces shown below. They're cut to rough length and ready for final notching/fitting. Had to dip into and use up all the left over yerf pieces-- the other pics show's what's left of everything that I've removed. Net gain is going to be about 45 pounds for the new, plus about 35 at the rear of the main frame, another 20-30 or so up front for a total of about 100 more pounds of steelwork into just the frame. Then there's also the difference between the Tec and GY6 engine and swingarm. The 'ol dog isn't so svelte any longer!
