my scales are only accurate to a pound, so this could be off by a half pound if it rounded. i got 13 pounds. the bearings are in it, and so is the metal sleeve where the dogbones go

Ill weight it when it comes back from Spencer Cycles with the 4-12 over billet weld in extensions if you want to compare. it will be a few weeks though

I was hoping it weighed a lot more. The reason i was asking, is there a guy on 13x forums that has a custom swingarm (braced) for the zx12. He also has some various other odds and ends. I was hoping i could have bought a lighter swingarm to further reduce the weight of my 12. Oh well, I appreciate the help KZScott.

The search for weight reduction continues..........
