The original wooden engine cover weighs in at 23.4 lb with no insulation. The Aluminum Engine Cover tips the scale at 11.0 lb and then add 4.4 lb for the insulation. The Aluminum Engine Cover kit with insulation will help reduce engine and road noise. It also reduces heat from the engine getting into the cockpit area.
