I think it was more like 5lbs difference with the Acerbis light, but it feels like alot more since the weight is way forward in front of the bike with the stock fairing, in the worst possible place, forward and up high. I did notice a difference with the Acerbis light, the bike handles better over the whoops now, it seems better balanced. If I want to go touring, I can swap the stock fairing over in less than 10 minutes. Bryan K A14
