Doing a little math: The JWT unit says it's 15.4 lbs and 45% lighter than stock. That implies the stock unit is 28 lbs (28 x .55 = 15.4) and the weight savings would be 12.6 lbs (28-15.4). Not as much as what people in this thread were stating. Does that make it less scary? Who knows. The decrease in the moment of interia could be even more than the decrease in weight, depending on how it is constructed.
