LOL im not sure how much weight it saved...
the stock fan weighs like 3x the amount my new slim fan weighs...running a slightly smaller amount of coolant and the half radiator vs the full radiator is a bit lighter...

if i had to guess...id say maybe like... 10-15lbs? but dont quote me on that...

I would guess an easy 15 lbs was saved over the stock rad & fan setup. I would be interested in seeing how this rad/fan setup would hold up during road course duty. I almost bought a half rad but then ended up with a CBRD Slim rad.

This is some good news. I have been thinking of a half radiator, just to get my oem upper coolant pipe away from the tubular mani.
