This is a real 'scientific' response
Using some decades old Boots scales we found in a skip, a full frame weighs 39 lb.
The cutdown that I have has narrowed legshield support struts, a 4" lowered headstock, all of the rear board support struts but it has been cut behind the seat in a vee, pointy end to where there would have been a rear light. The 'guttering' (panel supports 'U' section) has also been cut off. That weighs in @ 30 lb.
