Weight difference between stock and aftermarket honda 250 r frame

Hey guy do you know what the weight difference between an aftermarket chrome alloy frame compared to a stock frame?

It depends on what frame you are looking at. I know the Lobo is the heaviest but the strongest. The Walsh and LSR are pretty close except the Walsh CR 500 swinger is heavier than the LSR no-link. These are still both heavier than the stock. I do not have an opinion about Laeger, Arens, PRP or JRD ( Roll Design clone) since I have never owned any of these.

My stock 89 weighs 36 lbs. while my Walsh MX with fliptop subframe weighs 42 lbs. Never weighed the Roll but FEELS heavier than the Walsh for sure.

I'm in the middle of a frame swap this winter.
Stock 88 frame is 40 pounds.
01 Lonestar with propeg mounts .095 wall is 43 pounds.

Kinda look likes frame weight is like dyno numbers.

If your 88 has a title could I buy it from you? Plus its lighter

It's got bout a half dozen cracks in it and the rear subframe is tweaked.
I would feel right selling it to anyone in the shape that it is.
We're going to repair it and use it along with all the spare parts that have been accumulated over the years and make a backup bike.
