Are 90-91 EX knuckles heavier than Si, DX knuckles?

I know that the brake setup (rotor + caliper + pads) will be heavier for the EX because the rotors and calipers are bigger than the Si. But what about the knuckle minus the rotor, caliper and pads?

Anyone know for sure?

Although they would seem heavier, they're probably not that much heavier if any. Are you having some shipped to you?

I couldn't imagine them being significantly different in weight like
that. The only difference is the hub and possibly the bearing.

FYI: you see how easy it is to go 5-lug ITR conversion by
machining the knuckles to accept the 5lug bearing.

The bearings are the same.
