Over 600lb's? Im shooting for under 300 on mine. Not including the rider obviously.

Fancy. The v twins are noticably lighter. Both my v twins are about 90. Opposed is over 100 easy.

Well mine had shipping weight on 92lb, that's no oil and without exhaust, so I guess its about 90 loaded and ready to go.

For being a KISS build, this seems fairly complicated. Or maybe its just cause im lazy. lol

I love how the rear wheels are big and the front ones are small haha

My MTD 700 "Mini GT" is 43 inches long

Mines 38. Do I get a prise? Lol, I'm trying to make sure that it isn't that uncomfortable for low low the seat is.

Yes you won a prize, but will you use a 700 to a straight axle?

and I think I'll settle on 40 or 42".
