If ur chassis is full chassis u need to ad a- arms,strut,swingarm,footpegs,to stock chassis to realy compare weight.maybe then It'sworth having a priceychassis.I've never compared it that way.no one has ever given me a guaranteed weight to do so.

22 pounds for a complete Chromemolly Drag Chassie is a low weight imo. This was claimed by Triple in one of his posts back in 2003. This is a complete chassie that was weighed. imo thats not bad, but so far I haven't gotten a Chassie Builder to say that they could do that and be safe. This is the same Member that claimed 218 Pounds Race Ready also.
I've weighed most everything that goes on one of these things and if the Chassie is actually 22 Pounds 218 is about right. +- very little.

I see where the weight can come from. I have no front suspension. And running those light fronts so that drops me alot. This is one great topic. I guess someone needs to weigh every part and see where the difference is and where the best places to go to get the weight down

This is a start....I will Weigh Asphalt Set up as far as Tires are concerned... Wiring I didn't weigh as we plug in the CDI to the Stator That was figured in the Engine weight.
The small stuff was weighed with a Baby Scale. So it should be close.


I'm confused that could have been asphalt tires I weighed I'll check and make sure. If it was it was 20x 8x10 AR's and Wicked's 2" wide Spindle Mounts

Dam. That's open mouth and insert foot. Didn't know everyone was as OCD about it like myself. I'll weigh my skinny fronts tomorrow and spindles. And rear tire with rim.

I got bored one Day and was curious....My Son and I want to get weights on everything to do one. Soon we will have weights on Cheetah's and DM's Dry. We will list everything in them, from Crank to Clutch Basket, Type of Cases, ect.

10-4... maybe one day i can grow up and get me a big motor to play with....

Just wondering how much weight differance there is from a Stock Engine to Modified Mono Block Engine. I'll find out soon.

our 4 mil DM in stock cases weigh 80 and some change.

our 18 mil cougar in billet cases weigh 110lbs boxed up ready to go on the ups truck!

Dang thats not bad. I weighed a stock 350. No Carbs or Pipes and it was wet 82 pounds with a Game scale.
