Ken, If I attach the lights to the shell, then the frame and shell will be permanently attached by LEDs. If I don't, I have to compromise on lighting. 11oz seems a bit heavy, what would you suggest to use as a weight? It would be a waist to use the 1/4oz weights that I have. I'm referring to an AM GP9 fyi. Jeffrey Ngowe
