Yeah I was going to say because the sticky says 34/19 pounds and I was coming up with around 40/30.

So you took out the motors and extra bracing and the seat was 13 pounds less? or you got the seat down to 13 pounds?

If you got a stock seat down to 13 lbs please do tell. You can save me a few dollars on buying light weight ones. Plus keeping the stock look.

Don't know if it's in here or not (don't have time to read through it all) but....

Just compared my stock steel TA hood which weighed ~43lbs with a US Exotics Superhawk fiberglass hood which weighed ~37 lbs.

im trying to point out that some of these weight reductions are a little crazy. great thread though, very long, and someone needs to go through the whole thing and compact it into a neat little list with links to how-to writeups and websites. that would be sweet.
