My trans also only has forward only, spacers were made to take the place of the gears and that put the trans at 1/4 of the stock one! Reverse gear alone is 5lbs of rotating mass. Everylittle bit adds up, anything on the frame that didn't scacrifice strength is gone. I also have aftermarket shocks w rezzies that are half the weight of the stock ones. Mine weighs in at around 350lbs

 

mine is as gutted as possible now if i could get az badboy (dennis) to make my frame like his wifes then i would be happy for a ride or two maybe.

 

if you ride it really hard,,,,and eat right,,,,your bound to loose weight on a scrambler
