Never mind, found it myself. Just in case anyone wants to know, the weights can be found from the bimba catalogue here: http://www.bimba.com/pdf/catalogs/FL...ne.pdf#page=10
Just scroll down until you find the the number of the cylinder family that matches the one you want.

The different bore sizes and corresponding product numbers are:
3/4" 04 - x - DP
1 1/2" 17 - x - DP
2" 31 - x - DXP

x being the desired stroke size.
Nice link! Thanks!

For reference, those weights are:

3/4" (04-x-DP) - Base = 0.21, Add 0.03 per inch of stroke
1/5" (17-x-DP) - Base = 0.73, Add 0.08 per inch of stoke
2" (31-x-DXP) - Base = 1.62, Add 0.15 per inch of stroke

(Is that in lbs???)


LIST PRICES - Also for reference, from the same doc (2007 prices?)

3/4" = $19.20 + $1.50/inch, Add $9.15 for mag option
1/5" = $34.95 + $2.35/inch, Add $13.75 for mag option
2" = $59.00 + $2.65/inch, Add $16.00 for mag option

(I don't know if this includes: clevis, mounting bracket, or mag switches...
...Anyone else want to search for those and add to this thread?)


MAG OPTION:

Also, it says to add the following lengths when you get the mag option:
"... For [one we don't use and] 1.5", Add 0.125"; All others add 0.250" [which seems to be 3/4" and 2"..."

Now it doesn't make sense that the 3/4 would be made incrementally longer
than the 1.5" would, but I guess it could be true... Can someone please
check that out and comment? Thanks!

I hope this helps someone!
