I think your best bet, to lighten the weight, is to take off the signals,headlight,taillight,mirrors,seat,fenders and only put a quart of gas in at a time.
When you get use to the bike, slowly start adding the pieces back onto the bike.

boot this flame instigating troll.....that is not even smart enough to use spell check or proper English. IF YOU CANT SPELL HARLEY THEN GET THE F*** OUT

I think Harly not use alot of aluminum. They could make bikes alto lighter. Mine only weighs 400lb. And its a 1100CC! Must be a design flaw or something?

It's not just your spelling my friend, it's your grammar too. Judging by your post, I think that English lessons are just the beginning of your problems.
