The tail was cut off so it may be a little thicker on the edge. I weighed it after everything was cut off & it was 19lbs. I dought many street bike frames could match it. Can't be sure but I think my H1R frame weighed 24 lbs when it was bare. Which weighed right at 300 lbs finished.

Don't forget to look at the engine as she goes together. TZ350 head bolts will save you a bunch :-). Rebore saves a little. Porting a little.No extra threads hanging out the end of the engine mount bolts, taper the inside of the sump plug. Etc etc. :-)
