LOL....some of the numbers are wrong
Some of the numbers are wrong. The Boss seat compared to stock seat saves more then 6 lbs. (it only weighs 6 lbs) The stock seat weighs around18 lbs. if it has NO water in the foam! It would be better to write, Seat & under tunnel exhaust 28 lbs. ,
Radiator & fan 3lbs ,
E-brake removal 3 lbs. ,
Battery relocation to seat = removes 15 lbs from nose,

OH....ok
Yeah but some items say -12 lbs like TS front arms and then under tunnel exhaust is listed 6 lbs. this isn't what you loose like the TS arms but what it weighs...does this make sense? So they should ALL read the weight loss number, i.e. boss seat -12lbs, under tunnel exhaust -16lbs., TS a-arms -12lbs. this way other folks who might not know the real weights of these items will not be mislead or misunderstand the numbers we all give. Just want to be sure were clear on oiur weights to the best of our knowledge....no worries.

true, we may have to redo a few then, that would make more sence to have the minus number not the weight of the new item.
