I didn't weigh the actual item, but the shipping weight with a pretty stout box was 2 pounds. It was thicker and more robust than I was expecting, pretty light and well machined. I ordered it from Revzilla.

Oh, my mistake. I saw two pictures and I thought it was the cilinders covers. Anyway, yes, revzilla has this item but not the others (yet). Beautiful finish of your bike. Thanks

p.d. I always ask about the weight because the freight to my country is valuated in dollars per kilogram
 
not today but yesterday's work

Where did you acquire the rear luggage rack?
 
Thank you. I was set to order one but the shipping price kinda took my breath away. It doubles the price. I know it’s not something you can control. Maybe, it’ll be worthwhile to buy several things (I already like the tank pad) to save on shipping? Or maybe we could organize a group buy?

I'd be down for a set of tank pads. The pads are 41 euros and the shipping to CA is 120 euros.

the system charges prices from DHL + customs clearance costs. for small orders and low value, it is worth writing an email to us. we will find a much cheaper option

3M protective tape between rubber pillion seat feet and rear fender.

I put a little talc on the rubber feet to sort out exactly where they landed. The result is not super pretty but it's effective.

That's a great idea to use talc to determine the places where the rubber pads touch. I used your method and placed a double layer of clear packaging tape in those 4 spots to protect the paint.
