I built the lightest 914 in the history of mankind.  Group: Members Posts: 120,598 Joined: 3-February 03 From: Jacksonville, FL Member No.: 222 Region Association: None  |
The stock cast iron late model bar weighs in at 14 pounds. I made this one from 1" round tubing for the bottom section and 3/4" square tubing from the top section. And I added a 1" angle at the middle where the engine bolts to it.
This weighs 5 pounds!!! I saved 9 pounds!!! ( I'm pretty good at math) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)
