Stellar Performance Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Most of the lightened stock frames end up around 35 pounds. To get it down to 30 is pretty tough. You need to remove so much of the stock mild steel and replace with chromoly. And even at doing that, 30 pounds and still having a safe frame is tough. A stock a-arm frame weighs in at 46 pounds, 35 is a good number to aim for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Limit Powersports Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Like tim said 45-46 stock and our lightened stockers that are +6 out the front are 38lbs so i would think 35 would be pretty easy without adding length Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
