Yep...got it in one...both of you..LTD450, and all the V twins are waay to heavy...
Should be able to fit a variety of 2 cyl motors in the frame..Kwak 400,440,450,Gpz500..
First is to get it here (cheers Jockney me boy)..and then drop in some bags of concrete mix to simulate the weight..providing she can move it around its then game on...once mine is done of course ;)

In answer to your question to Shiny things, weight is about 40kgs but you'll find the weight will be held quite low in the frame. So it shouldn't really be an issue for her unless she's only 3 feet tall.

I hope she is only three feet tall, you know how awkward it looks when the chick is taller then the bloke.

Please tell me you're not serious about your photoshop meaning it will fit Russ.
Mid CC Jap parallel twins are all roughly the same size so it should be pretty close but I could photoshop a 426 Hemi into my ZXR and it doesn't mean it'll fit in real life.

Isn't that how you build your bikes ?

Edit...seen your bikes..maybe you do ;)

Looks good Russ. Now I'm really keen to get my CT90/426 Hemi project underway. Photoshop makes anything fit hey? This is a great site for learning how the pros do it.
