That is a nice rear end and it has a lot of engineering in it---but-----

Remember that you are going to be sitting behind it with your legs up over the area where the tubes go into the center===you will be very uncomfortable with that one

Get a housing that is more rounded into a banjo shape whereas your legs fit over the 3 inch side tube close to the center unit

Prop a board up against the wall and sit on the floor with your legs over the housing in an area no wider than your but(bottom) and sit like that for maybe 30 minutes to test your endurance remembering that you can't wiggle around because you'll be belted in

I looked up the weights on the 049 and 065 stainless steel material and they are 2 and 2.5 pounds so the total differance it the weight of a tank would probably be about the same as a gallon or two of fuel---so make it bigger and then run less fuel when you need the weight savings
