Yeah, that's next. We temporarily removed the rear bodywork, taillight, grab handle, fender and turn signals, and found that they weigh 8.5 lb.. Since most of that is up behind the rider's butt, we're going to ditch it ASAP.

We'll probably cut a couple of inches off the end of the frame and fab a mudguard and license/taillight mount. I like how this guy did it, except for the antique Ford taillight:


I also like how he mounted the stock speedo and tach, apparently in tin camping cups. I guess that goes with his military theme.
