    Hades

    out of sudden i bought b12 as a two seat daily commuter to pick up sheilas and ride them in my shed lol so decided not to modify anything at least until i finish my other bike projects
    no mods no personal name
    umm i also promised my gf to teach her ridin a bike but its a tad high and heavy for her (in fact its about 20kg heavier than my home made civic cafe fighter by my feel and to my surprise) so after all i decided to make it lower and lighter just like that
    not that i was saisfied with its appearance definitely not the tail section so fuck it to
    as well as zorst btw headers weighed in 6.5kg and pipe with silencer just 2.5kg - some aftermarket car's silencer tbe
    by now i see two ways to lighten the bike - dropping it down for 50mm by using gixxers forks and gettin rid of steel gas tank and seat with subbie
    gunna see how much i save on those hopefully about 10-15kg
    later it gunna be turboed and converted to efi
    so lets proceed to the evil doin and fistly think of its name
    once my previous rides named Pestilence War Famine and Death so naturally Hades was following close behind them
    so be it named Hades
    let us pray

    "over the cold endless
    mountain streem
    into the dark frozen forest
    under the snow coverd trees
    through the wintery
    whispering winds
    great gods of Asgard
    guide us through the night
    let your ravens fly

    lead us through valleys
    great gods of Valhalla
    guide us through woods
    great gods of Valhalla
    let your valkyres fly
    and let us enter
    let us enter thy hall"

    Now look at the tank, there r bloody huge holes between it and frame







    the new ally tank will follow the frame without any holes and will go down to the rombus being bent like banana so heres onya queenslanders bwahaha!



    but naturally i'll have to find a new place for the battery, no big deal cos its gunna be a lipo bat

    Well I weighed the odds and bits and heres a bit of trivia lol

    couldn't weigh the powerplant at all, believe its about 90kg or so
    chopped frame 18-20kg maybe a bit more cos scale im my shed is shite

    Well I also have a vintage steelyard over there which is kinda more precise and it told me that
    Tank weighs in 5.5kg (not that bad as expected tbh)
    Swinger with caliper and adjusters 8kg
    Seat with side plastic 3.5kg
    Chopped of seat subbie weighs in 6.25kg
    Rear fender with blinkers 1.75kg
    So the seat with subbie and fender weighs in 11.5kg! plus the stop light about .5kg I reckon, im gunna save on it up to 9 kilos and 2kg on the ally tank we’ll see!

    so the days toil is over and we can have a dance now
