How much ls weight static are we talking

I disagree. Assuming we are talking a single indexing birdcage, the shock on the front of the birdcage is going to have a significantly higher motion ratio than a shock clamped to the front of the tube.

That's what I said. Attached to axle more closely matches axle movement 1:1.More linear. Not more travel.

When I watch the xr1 rockets and the Longhorns, many of them seem to have the perfect setup, only they are loose on the very end of corner exit, I think weight on the left rear tube would help with this(along with the wider left rear tire).

Yup. My bad. When I first read your comment I read it that you were saying it would mean more linear shock movement (as in top to bottom linear distance) than when it was on the cage, but you meant the graphed relationship between axle movement and the shock movement.

Haven't all sanctions, Super or Crate, banned this practice anyway, no matter how you do it?? (yet likely not policed well, if at all, for the less visible implementations)

Probably most. But it hasn't stopped people from piling on axle weight, if they want to.
