I have looked and know that factory wet these bikes weighed in at 575 pounds. When I bought my bike it already had a full Vance and Hines exhaust and missing the front fairing, the factory gauges, factory mirrors, factory headlight and turn signals, missing the lower air dam. So me not having any of the original items have no idea what they weigh. I have sense then made some changes and like trimmed down the front fender like more that over in half, taken off the rear mud guard, and put pod filters on it. Any ideas on what any of this stuff weighs or if someone has these parts loose could weigh them for me? Anyone have a idea on what it may weigh as a whole?

Yeah that would be awesome, I mean its one of those things that like bugs you because you don't know. I would imagine she is pretty light weight though.
