Some of the farkles could be removed and tossed in the truck, so as to minimize load on the receiver.
According to JimJr21, the luggage and engine guards weigh 45 pounds. You could quickly lose 40 pounds by removing the luggage racks, panniers, trunk, and upper engine guard. That would get the bike down to 368 pounds, with a full tank of fuel. Removing the fuel tank and saddle would probably lose another 35 pounds, which puts the weight at approximately 333 pounds. It would also make the bike much narrower for loading on a carrier.
