For a total difference of....
10.4 lbs of unsprung weight, or (Rodknock, Chas, are you ready for this?)...
EXACTLY 1.0 extra roll bars (padding included).
Well there you go. Thanks.

C'mon, you realize that 10 lbs is just a gallon and a half of gasoline? Yes, I know it's sprung v. unsprung, but I stand by the fact that you can not tell the difference of shaving a little over two pounds per wheel. But, if it makes you happy, and if you promise to be good for the rest of the year, maybe we'll all chip in and buy you set for Hanukkah....
