Hey gang, I can anyone tell me what my cast aluminum rims weigh?
(2001 dyna sport FXDX, 13 spoke 19" front, 16" rear )
I'm toying with the idea of putting some gsxr parts on. (entire front end, entire rear end)
Also, has anyone here done this?
I'm not worried about the front, since I might just use the entire gixxer front end, but if I don't use the gixxer swingarm, I'm wondering about how to mate the hd pulley to the japanese rim.
(Or, is it easier to simply convert to chain)
Thanks
p.s. My apologies if this has already been answered here or if I've posted this in the wrong place.

I have a set of FXDX wheels in my garage that I could put on a scale tomorrow, but they have tires/rotors/pulley still installed so I don't know if this would be useful to you at all...
Here you go. The front is complete with both rotors, the rear is missing the brake rotor. According to HD, the weight of the stock rear rotor is 5.67 pounds, but that could be "shipping weight".

The weight of a 16x3 9-spoke "Mag" wheel was brought up in this specific post HERE within this thread HERE.
So I decided to gather up some 2000-2007/08 16x3 and 2009-later 17", 18" and 19" "Touring" wheel weights (Excludes 17" Airstrike at this point)
It's not "perfect"...there will be a slight variance from posted weights because I didn't remove the wheel balance weights and the 16" "Airstrike" has 25mm bearings as opposed to 1" bearings in the other 16" wheels
Wheels - Lightest to Heaviest(weights shown below include rotors/bolts)
I think Mike covered pretty much everything here...
The '08 style (heavier center carrier, smaller scallop cuts.) floating front rotors are 5.4 lbs each.
The 13 Spoke cast wheels the OP wants to know about are not included in that compilation; that's what my photos are. The weight of that rear rotor might be a number I'd use (4.310) in lieu of the 5.97 pounds HD listed.
