E start is heavy, EE full wrap handguards are heavier that fluff factory hand guards, rad braces are heavy and non factory skid plates are much heavier than a plastic factory skid plate.Thats easily 20 pounds. Just my 2 cents worth.

My first set of rad braces were 8 pounds. I haven't weighed my current set. My old aluminum skid plate was near 5 pounds (and it wasn't very thick). I haven't weighed the Mecca I have on now.

I'd guess my scorpion rad braces and skid plate weigh 5-6 pounds together. 8lb rad guards is crazy lol

I agree. The former owner was a rock-basher. Heavy-gauge aluminum everywhere. Over-kill, I thought, so I replaced them with some lighter minimalist armor. Two rad repairs later, I think he was onto something.

I have a 400# capacity digital scale, which I bought to use for shipping when I was running the shop.
In 2000, I wanted to get the accurate weight of a customer's ECO300 (large flywheel). I put a 7' long 2x8 on the scale and put a lift stand on top of the 2x8; then zeroed the scale. We rolled the bike up on the 2x8 and slid the stand under the bike, and checked the weight. It read 234 (all fluids except for a dry gas tank, and no guards). In late August of 2005, I did the same thing to my '06 DE300. (same procedure, no fuel and no aftermarket guards) It weighed 228# The DE had the smaller flywheel ignition, and the engine cases were lighter (new castings for 2001 year model), as well as the subframe. (aluminum, instead of chromoly) I haven't weighed the new bike, and probably won't before I add guards. I was told that the starter and battery raised the weight by 8#, but did not weigh it myself. Good Riding and Bike Weighing You! Jim Cook .
