Yea so I saw on harbor freight a motorcycle carrier for $130 and decided to test it out. It only supports 400lbs!!!(FZ6 DRY is 421 I believe) So what to do? Well I figured I see how much weight I could save so I decided to start removing things and weighing them on a floor scale.
Fuel tank with 1/2 tank of gas = 25lbs. Yamaha comfort seat = 4lbs. Center stand = 4lbs. I then remembered that HEY the Two Bros carbon cans saves 8.5lbs and the cat delete pipe definitely is worth a lb or two.
SOOOO All in all it actually seems to be doing OK. I have had it on the back for about 2 hours now just to see how its holding up and I drove it around for 20 minutes and had no issues. The jeep I6 4.0 is God's gift to mankind in terms of engine and it doesn't even register the extra 500lbs.
