I want to buy a set of ramps but couldn't find the actual weight of the bike anywhere. Guesstimates range from 650 to 900 lbs. I know someone here knows within 100lbs.

Thank you,

Randy

 

Take it to someplace that has a scale , weigh station , dump , scrap yard etc and weigh it

 

I am thinking closer to 650..

 

From the factory a 58 weighs in at 648; by 65 with the e-start it was just over 700

 

That makes sense, big *** inner primary, longer main shaft, giant starter and solenoid, mounting brackets all adds up.

As it turned out I was giving a friend a lift home shortly after I posted this and then on my way the Harbor Freight to take a look see. When I dropped off my friend he gave me 12" by 8' c-perlin. A couple slight mods for safety and that's going to work perfect.

(I was in construction most of my life and had never heard the term c-perlin. I'd seen them but never knew what they were called. I won't spoil it for those who hadn't heard the term before. Never too old to learn something new.)

Thanks everyone.

 

I found the weight of a 1950 FL. It is 560 lbs. dry shipping weight.

I'm surprised my 94 Dyna is heavier by 38 lbs.

 

Only slightly more than me...
