Decided to weigh the corners on the oddy with and without me in it.
I am a pip squeak of a man -- 5'5" tall 130lbs so add extra for you fluffy chimps.
Didn't want to add to the other thread viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15957&hilit=corner&start=50 because it was getting long and off topic.
One thing I did not weigh was rear suspension but that has already been done in the thread above and it comes in at 50lbs. All of this info is needed for calculating springs etc. Also the scale is a cheap one but good enough for what we need.
So here ya go -- pics attached

I did miss one thing and that was the weight of the front shock.
Will go out and measure it now.

edit: front shock came in at about 5lbs and the rear at about 7-8 lbs.

In conclusion it seems that the weight front and rear is distributed evenly with regards to your body weight.
