I'm sure it does, but I can't see more than a few pounds

My hand scale says not much difference. Definitely not pounds difference. I didn't bother weighing them as I wanted the rigidity that the Z-Speed shroud offers above all else.

Canadian pounds and 'Murican pounds are different... I thought everyone knew that...

I could see it being 2lbs more

Ok, i just remembered that I have an extra shroud. I weighed it and the factory piece. DEpointfive0 is right, the Z-Speed shroud is ~3 lbs heavier. Time to get my "hand scales" recalibrated.

These are the weights I recorded on my digital scale. I would use these numbers as reference only as I'm sure my measuring device is not 100% accurate.

Factory shroud = 2.2lbs

Z-Speed shroud = 5.6lbs

I have updated the OP with the weights.
