225 lbs (wet) is goal. Steel rims and big tires are NOT in the plan.

With shock 23.5 lbs. Ill hit it trust me. Had the monoshock yellow bike at 275 wet. This will be much more minimal overall.

edit. 200 tank. looks like a 75 or 76. anyway, small progress. got the swing arm mounted with bushes, etc, seat mounted, and more parts in the bin. took longer to get this done that I expected but I didn't know how to tig weld, so had to learn to get the mounts on and make the side stand mount out of sheet, which actually bolts to the MOTOR (triumph speed triple set up). Also got the seat pan fabricated. lower end of motor currently in progress and cylinders at supertunes shop getting wrapped up

gap 17 here I come.
