On the pallet, I think mine weighed in at 84lbs. This was a while ago, but I'm pretty sure that was it.

84? I thought they were more than that? My T500 Motor that I'm putting in the GS frame is around 110-115 and it's a 2 Stroke.It's a Little Smaller and Doesn't have the Valves,Cams,Counter Balance ETC. :icon_confused: :icon_confused: Not trying to Argue or Anything I just thought they weighed more .

Actually I remember a figure close to Alpha's. But in kilograms. Which would make it about twice as much.

I weighed a bare frame once...35, 38, 45 pounds...something like that. I believe the frame and stuff you shipped me was 85 pounds as shipped. I guess I need to start working that bike....almost have all the goodies.

I have a large list of weights of various GS parts and some other bikes, if anyone is interested. I may just update it and post it anyway.
