  2. Thank you Stevie!

    It weighs appr. 130 kg with a full tank of gas (about 10 litres). I never put the donor bike on the scales, but I reckon it's about the same in weight. The frame is a little bit heavier now (the original frame had an aluminium subframe) but the rest of the components are probably lighter.

    With a flat slide carb (not the one in the pictures) and a mild tune done by the "Yoda" of the Husqvarna world (Halvards) it puts out about 60 horses. So yes: lively:-). Sounds great too.

  9. Glad but sad to see it finally finished, hope you manage to get some riding done before the Northern winter hits. Looking forward to seeing it in the pages of Sideburn and also looking forward to your next project.
