And I definitely want to see pictures of yours when you're done converting it!
Yes, the HotRock (if it fits) is an excellent choice. OEM weight is 26-27 pounds (lightweight by anybody's standards). The frame is robust and lightweight, an idea candidate for eventual upgrades.

When you test ride, be absolutely sure you explicitly request that the test bike be properly adjusted and setup for your dimensions.. prior to test riding, then ride...
