that would be without the steering stem, sub frame and stock swing arm? curious how much weight guys are actually getting off the frames. i went and put my quad on a scale 2 years ago with fuel it was 490 and that was with the 13 pound swing arm

 

That is a great question. I am very curious to hear the answer.

I will say that you need to be lightening that bike up though if we are going to do a fair comparison of our big bores. I don't want to win or lose on a lighter bike than yours. It kinda skew's the test, ya' know?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

To clarify, the question you are asking is the weight of the actual OEM frame without anything attached. No subframe, steering stem, swing arm, suspension or motor. Just the main frame......right?

 

we'll if you want to be fair, your not the first 730 that i'll have come across, or 800 or 830 for that matter, but do take it easy on me until i get the rust off [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

LOL! I can't tell you how many times as a kid I have been hustled by just such words![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I have heard through the grape vine that you have that thing really dialed in and that it is very fast. I respect that bike.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Regardless, I am looking forward to it. It is really about the fun and I am a really good loser, lol. Hmmmmm that can be taken more than one way.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

it is all about the fun and anytime a ds puts it to a 450 i'm happy, and we won't even bag on raptors (sorry mike i could resist). Oh and i'm a good loser too, thanks to azsand, and jeffinrivercity. after racing jeff once i thought i was going in for powder coating he sand blasted me so good, sold me on nitrous that day[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

nobody has a number?

 

Are you talking full run weight?? If so. Sandbomber has his less than 315lbs fully fueled. Choose is shooting for 300 lbs or less. These are true drag race bikes. Anything and everything was lightened. My goal with a fully fueled Ds will be 350lbs or less(using a stock radiator and battery). Im taking alot of what Sandbomber did with his quad and going to put it towards mine. I dont believe I will lightened my frame as much as Sand, but Im still hopeing to be close to his Ds' weight.

Mine probably wont be a duner because of the subframe but it will be close.

 

not interested in sandbombers weight, curious about the weight of a stock frame before weight reduction. dune and pure drag frames don't mix so more interested in lightening and duning love the feel of the lighter machines. good numbers for choose and bomber though.
