50gary said:Very nice slide show, good job all around. I may have mentioned this before but the Net weight is quite impressive 415# and using that HD motor it's really light weight.
Cheers, 50gary
That is the correct weight number I came up with, actually I didn't come up with it, it's in the manual. I was able to take 50lbs off my motor. Aluminum cylinders and heads are are right at half the weight of the iron ones (12lbs/13lbs, aluminum ones are 6 and 6.5), tossed the generator regulator for another 13+lbs, light flywheels drop some more, no kickstart hardware at all.Bevelheadmhr said:The Ironhead engine is around 188lbs, which is pretty hefty for an air cooled V twin. A later Evo sportster version is 10lbs or so lighter, using one of them and modern lightweight 17 inch wheels would get a Norley down below 400lbs no problem.
