can anybody tell me if someone makes a custom frame for a ds?(longer and lighter).

 

I don't think so. What type of racing do you do?

 

I haven't heard of any but I know who could do it for you..... If he's up to the task!! Give Keith a call and see what he thinks about it. He's never done DS frames that I know of but he just got going on the swingarms not too long ago.

It will take him quite a while to get it done however and it will cost a fair amount. Just figured I'd mention it. Winter is a good time for these new projects!! He's a top notch builder and really knows his stuff... just takes him a while.

Here's the LINK

Hope that works out for you!

 

I spoke with Daryl(sp) Wrath awhile back about building a frame using 400EX geometry, that would allow for the use of a DS motor. He said it could be done, but since there are no jigs, it would be expensive. I would have had to send him my EX frame, etc... Considering existing frames for other bikes generally run around 4 grand...I figured to build a frame from the ground up would be way too expensive...probably 10 grand or more. I'd love to put my DS motor in my EX frame, but the motor is alittle too tall.
