Good idea Ron
I just had a standard SS tank arrive today with pump so I can weigh that, I can also put the Alloy tank Neal made on the scales along with the 620 pump to get and idea nad also do the same with the 916 tank and pump.
For me its not about the weight as much as the ergonomics brought on by the middle age spread, the Standard SS Tank is not only to high at the back but also to long.
On my 996, 998 Hybrid,the 998R and my R6 all of which I get on very well with I feel like my heads over the headstock where as on the DD bike its more over the filler cap.
I get on very well with my S2R and M1100 road bikes where the tanks has more of a sloping rear section
So for 2012 I intend trying different options, Neal's old tank on my current SS DD bike and a 916 tank on the 620 Monster I got off Steve Mason
If all else fails I'll have to nick Dallas's bike as thats looking pretty well sorted after he's stolen a few of my ideas
