Default Dynomat or equivalent and front suspension

This stuff is heavy. Anyone notice any drawbacks to their front suspension with the extra weight?

I pretty much have my whole inner and outer fairing covered in it. I haven't noticed a difference in ride whatsoever.

Or to rephrase the question...Has anyone noticed difference in ride quality going from stock, no sound deaded, no amps and factory speakers with neodymium magnets to the addition of sound deadening, amps and speakers with ferrite magnets?

Wasn't sure if all this additional weight had an affect on the front end with the fork mounted fairings. You sharknose guys I can see no affects at all.

I added the BT brackets, BT amp, 7.1 speakers, and dynamat on my Limited.
The only time I notice the added weight, is when I'm taking the fairing off. It's not much.
