Those mods are real head turners.  My completely stock Bandit 1200 wants to grow up into one of these once my bank account can afford it.

Black, of course.  Although I have kind of grown a like to the maroon tank.  Black it will be. and the fender too.

not sure where to weigh the thing, so I'm not sure about that.

I know it is much lighter though, without the arbox, stock exhaust, and steel rear subframe.  Any suggestions on where to weigh it?

A truck scale should get you within 2 lbs. Around here there are a few State weigh stations that leave the scale visable when they're closed.

You could try a friendly mail centre.

I work at one so I wheeled my bike in after I put my Hindle full system on and it had lost 22kg from stock!

Most (all?) landfills have large scales.  My local race-bike shop has one a really cool M/C specific scale.
