Sorry, but I don't have the breakdown of everything. If I had to guess, it would a slight weight loss. I kept my old seats and they are extremely heavy. Add back the bottle and cage and we're probably close to original weight. However, I believe they have a scale at RRR and I'll be attending at the end of Sep when I get back in the country. I'll be happy to get a weight with a full tank and give you an update then. If you will, get a weight on your car with a full tank with the original equipment and we'll compare.

I did some quick weights on the conversion. Done on a bathroom scale so please forgive me if it's not totally exact.

The stock seats with rails weighed 48lbs apiece X 2 = 96lbs
The Carbon Seats with Pads, Rails, and Seat Adapters weigh 21lbs apiece X 2 = 42lbs

The RS Cage with paint weighs 37lbs

Scroth Harnesses with all the hardware weigh approx 6lbs
B&K Sub Bar with B&K Extinguisher Mount + 2.5LB Amerex Halon Fire Extinguisher weighs 17lbs

So it ended up adding 6lbs overall once everything is installed.

Wow thats a heavy bottle! But still pretty close to the original weight. A little weight watchers action and I'm back to original weight! Thanks for the info!!!

The October issue of Car & Driver has a short review on the RS. C&D shows a total weight of 3,180lbs on their test car that is equipped with PCCB's, Nav, Full Leather,Bi-Xenon's, & Chrono.

Should hopefully have mine on the scale in about 2 weeks to compare.
