I think the tko is 100-110 lbs and the t-5 is around 75. Congrats on the tko. I love my TKO 600

Congrats, Hope I can find a good deal on one when I go looking. I have had nothing but bad luck with T-5's. I got the right bellhouse for the conversion on a good trade now I just need to find the rest.
