    When you want the lightest...

    After cleaning a lot of the donor parts, I am replacing more than I wanted. Mainly due to rust and being 13 years old.
    A friend sent me this as a "weight saving item" - These uprights weigh in at 3.4 KG !

    I don't know the stock weight, but I doubt the are any where near only 7.5 pounds - each.

    Looking at the other models, these are probably in the 5K range as well.
    Think I will stick to the diet and try to shed the weight that way instead.

    Be safe !

    Very nice forgings. Wish it were within by budget!
