The Raask pipe is 7 lbs for the whole exhaust.

Here are a few more that I annotated a few months ago:

Intake airbox inlet tube(snorkel) 0.125lbs
Suzuki Engine guard with hardware 3.563lbs
Upper and lower belt covers 3.3lbs

I removed the inlet tube and the belt covers, so with the engine guard, I just about broke even.

I also removed the airbox and side covers but never measured them.

Maybe...

I rode my spouse's bike with the Trapp, to work the other day...wanted to stir up the fluids a bit.

Anyway, I have to say that the difference between the Trapp and Raask is probably bottom end torque. The Trapp gives more back pressure and probably more grunt, even with 14 disks to the bottom end. The Raask, being freer flowing, seems to perform more on the mid range and top end.

I'm thinking of modifying the optional internal baffle (that sounds like crap when installed), to provide just a bit more back pressure to the Raask.

I had a chance to check the weight of some of the accessories on my bike the other day, unfortunately I cannot get rid of the stuff since it is required to make the thing go...all together it added up to 215 lbs...with a little more time, exercise, and a proper diet I might be able to reduce the its' overall mass......at least I hope so....pray for my success please.
