I don't have the stock shock so somebody else will have to throw that on a scale. I am just waiting on a bearing to arrive from the US to put my GSXR front end on then I'll weigh the FZR front end and wheel with tire.
None of the fzr400s came with a 18 x 4.5", must be off something else. The 1wg, 2tk, 3en1 and 3en2 had 18 x 4.0" rims and the 3tj had a 17 x 4.5".

I weighed a few rims i had laying around (these weights are with spacers, sprocket carriers, etc but without discs):

fzr600 front, 11.8lbs
fzr400 3tj/early yzf600 front, 17x 3.5", 10.8lbs
fzr400 3tj rear, 17 x 4.5", 17.1lbs

Has anyone weighed a tz250 disc? These look a fair amount lighter than a tzr250/fzr400.
fzr660/400: fzr400 3en1 frame, 3en2 swinger, custom single seat subframe, fzr660 motor conversion, APE adjustable cam gears, full D&D 4-2-1 exhaust, falicon clutch basket, ignitech ignition, R6 front end with tz250 wheel, ohlins shock, storz steering damper, tzr250 rear wheel.

weighs 166kg wet (25kg lighter than my stock fzr600).

DRU,
did you add these to the WIKI ?

If not please do as this info is really starting to make a difference.
Thanks
