Not a huge weight savings I suppose. I believe its the sum of all the parts that really makes the difference. I just received 35' of 3/8" o.d. .035 wall aluminum tube. I will make some longer fender rods with these since the stock units dont fit with my brackets. I will be doing total weight comparisons as I get more models of brackets made.
I have several new jigs made, just working on getting the parts on CAD and to the water jet for samples.
