Before you guys start in with the put yourself on Jenny Craig wise cracks.

I was wondering just how you guys are shaving so much weight off of your DS's, and if after doing so are they still safe to take out on the trail without something breaking. Where would I start?

 

Plastics, cut the rear fenders, remove the fronts and remove the heel gaurds.

Its a start.

 

if yours is the 01 have the front and rear hubs milled down

 

had a thread a few days ago I will look for

 

Well I have removed the heel guards and the front fenders, guess I need to think about trimmin' the rear fenders.

 

Mongo, you will save yourself a lot of money and time if you know exactly what you want to do with the DS. I mean, if you want to dune it..we can help or if you want to drag it...we can help. Im just throwing out some scenarios.

 

Well I do alot of drag racing, but I still use it for hill climbing and hi speed wash runs, very very little trail riding.

 

Well, now with that in mind. Take a look at the thread that Sandbomber started and he has listed every last lightweight part that he has put on his pig. Im sure he will let you know where to get each part from via a couple of PM's! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Thanks Choose! Dont know how I looked over that thread, maybe because I did'nt search "pig" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]. Thanks again that will get me pointed in the right direction and then some.
