How does the weight compare to similar touring bikes?

Thank you! As far as weight goes, I must not be too concerned since I haven't weighed it, yet. It's also a heavy duty tourer not built with the lightest components. Having said this, however, I flew back from San Diego last week. The S&S soft case (with bike inside) weighed 43 lbs. at the airport scale. The empty case weighs about 8 lbs, but I also had S-S frame protectors, fenders, a few small tools and dirty laundry on the external pockets of the case for extra protection . So, I guess around 31-32 lb., but no rear rack, yet.
