seems the looks of the ds would be kind of neat in a low drag bike, lengthened out. well even at a fair 400 pounds it might be a lot easier to win a all out race with single cylinders

Sandbomber done a fine job at getting his stock chassis down to 315 ready to race. I stretched my stock chassis to a +8 out front and a +4 in the rear utilizing the stock oil tank, seat, battery, steel rear sprocket, 25" tires and 6' wheelie bar and weighed in at 315 ready to race. So, I think this will give you and idea of where you can be. Im anxious to see what the rigids will weigh in at. Of course getting one below 300lbs is NOT impossible. I could throw on another battery and save (9lbs), 22" tires (6lbs), aluminum sprocket (1lb), TiMoly chain (3lbs) and easily be under 300lbs ready to race with a modified chassis. Hope this helps.
