Not sure about the shaft fit etc. Post Extras:       neotesla Pooh-Bah Reged: 11/18/10 Loc: Canada Re: LX80 counterweight for LXD55 [Re: m1618]       #5694141 - 02/22/13 07:59 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   The LX80 weight has a much larger bore. The LXD55, I think, is similar to the Vixen GP I have and there is too much of a difference to use the LX80 weight without some hole adapter.

Wondering if you can recommend any off brand counterweight or some DIY solution because the ones I've seen are $100! Defeats the purpose of trying to get good use of an old LXD55.
