I finally rode the Streetfighter to scales at the local solid waste facility. With 1/2 tank of fuel. The weight came in just under 500lbs. 500lbs was the target weight for this build. The weight is 498lbs.

On a side note. During the Vintage Yamaha Rally. You can enter your bike in Bike Show that the attending owners vote on.

I'm not the fastest FJ rider, I am 'half-fast', the fastest slow guy....

That is fantastic Fred!
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.
