I'm getting ready to install Nerf bars, Full chassis skids, A-arm skids, and swinger skid....... an additional (20 lbs)

Will I notice a difference in handling or jumping characteristics?

I weighed the parts...

swinger skid (7 lbs) Ricochet

Full chassis skid (5 lbs) Tusk

A-arms skid (1 lb) Tusk

Nerf bars (7 lbs) Tusk

You will notice a little but not much. A-arm skids are useless leave those off it will save you some weight

If your running MX lose the skids but for trails or XC its great to have. Even for MX I would still probally leave the swinger skid on.

x2. I have an armadillo swingarm skid, its great holds up to everything, No dents, just scartches. When i ride rocky trails everything hits my swingarm. All you need is the swingarm, leave everything else off. Will save you alot of weight.

I mainly ride trails, with an occasional track thrown in. I love to jump, I'm perfectly fine with 10-15 ft air... until I upgrade the suspension. Everything is here, so I may as well install it all.

thanks for the replys.
