Try again. The factory hood actually is lighter than the aftermarket hood. The factory hood weighs in at about 25 pounds with the padding and about 22 without. RK hoods weigh in at 30-35 depending on which one it is.

Op, it has everything to do with the material, fiberglass vs aluminum. Aluminum as more rigidity and naturally doesn't flex as much as fiberglass.
