Reply to comment by Motomegal in Randy Smith hoists 203 pounds of machine off the ground. c1970s by MyDogGoldi

Maybe dry... a stock sportster used to weigh just over 400 lbs, and this is a fairly stripped down hardtail. It's surprising how much weight you can lose just dropping the shocks and mufflers.

It’s a shovel head, not a sportster.

It's an iron head, look at the pushrod tubes.

It’s confusing. Sportster (ironhead) top end, flathead bottom end.
