Also, my bath scale is digital but certainly not certified. What matters here is their relative weight.
And the envelope, please....
Trigos:
Front: 19.4 lbs
Rear: 20 lbs (very surprised by that tiny difference. I did it 3 times)
Total: 78.8 lbs
Halibrands:
Front: 16.2 lbs
Rear: 18 lbs
Total: 68.4 lbs
For a total difference of....
10.4 lbs of unsprung weight, or (Rodknock, Chas, are you ready for this?)...
EXACTLY 1.0 extra roll bars (padding included).

Hey, 10 lbs are 10 lbs. A 13% weight reduction. That's definitely worth $5K to me. I still want them.....someday.
