Default Lets talk lightweight!!

Alright boys, we have talked about this before, but usually in seperate threads, and in little detail. So lets break the silence and give up your secrets!

What seems to be working, lasting, and plain just not worth the money to get the pounds off the Ds?
Axles, swingarms, shocks, tires, etc.,etc.,etc.!!

Where to start with the best bang for the buck, and where to go from there?


I'll start............I got a light weight but for the most part.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Glenn is the part pimp. He knows his stuff, But he should keep a lid on it too.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]



Youll just have to step up, I recomend light a-arms and spindes up front. Ripp all eccess weight off the frame and subframe. Light drag axle and 520 conversion. After you do all that make sure your ol lady dont find out, She will justify a shopping spree. Mine went and got a $1700 bed spread and she told me" it was like having a new motor". Ya know...

hey jed im not suposed to tell you this but they are pulling there shocks completely out and locking the bike into a solid position with a aluminum tube, all three of them. and as far as your front hubs your only going straight and not jumping so cut your bub so you only have 2 studs straight across from each other. 2 lugs on each tire will hold. take all bolts out of stearing stem handal bars and replace with alumiloy. and last but not least pump your tires full of helium. LOL mario i know if jed falls for this i will be able to take him out at the mountain
