    This was a 2017 with some chains, a pony motor, and movable pin neck. I don't really know where the extra weight came from, but I can guarantee that's what it weighed.
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    I don’t know where the weight came from either. Unless you had rear fender covers. They are heavy. The pony wouldn’t add that much wgt. Mine is a ‘17 model

    If I remember right. The salesman told me the full talbert covers were about 2200, but that’s just hearsay. I don’t know first hand

    Could be, your spreads are longer than mine and might have more steel in them.
