Stock hood weight?
how much does the stock hood weigh?, Ive been looking around but didnt find the weight for it altough i've read most of the diet topics. I've found some cf hood weights at 30 pounds which makes me wonder how much the stock one weights

idk what a stock hood weighs but i know a CF hood is significantly lighter. when i swapped my stock hood, i could feel the difference in weight when holding it.
