4lbs 12oz.With spring, bushes and bolts, call it 5lbs.Of course, as the stand is under the engine, the weight saving is counter productive regard low C of G !I know it’s obvious, but the thing with weight saving is it’s too easy to look at each saving and think ‘yeah but that’s not gonna make any difference’ but if you say that every time you don’t save any weight!Building a meaningfully lighter bike ain’t easy. I’ll be glad if I can break the 370lbs barrier, but doubt I’ll improve much on that. From then the only chance is lightening the area above the seat...!
