I am looking for both a front and rear lowering kit for my ds. I was wondering if anybody knew where I could get one or what companies make them.

Nobody makes anything yet. I do flat track racing with mine, and what I did I put stock 400ex shock on the front. Almost lowers it too much. And for the back, I adjust the shock all the way down, And it will sit lower. It does handle alot different, but you get used to it. Sway bars, nobody makes them yet nether. So I am going to build my own. I will have pic's soon.

I went to the Durablue web site and they do not show any lowering kit for the DS650 yet. I have'nt called them yet to find if they do carry a DS kit but I will this week sometime. Chop do you know for sure that Durablue has a DS kit?

I have been in contact with Durablue and they say they do NOT have a lowering kit for the DS yet and there are no plans as of yet to build one. I think they believe theres no real interest in one from the DS owners. Those interested in a lowering kit need to e-mail Durablue and let them know that we are inetrested and post in this forum that were interested. So heres Durablues e-mail pcsblue@earthlink.net and they have phone numbers listed at www.durablue.com give them a call. Lets get the ball rolling.

you can take the upper spring off the rear shock to lower the ds .the problem comes with the chain running on the roller constantly ..if you are running tt only I would not see a problem with removing the roller and removing the frame section and rear motor mount .this motor is mounted a ton ..good luck

I called Durablue and they said they didn't make lowering kits for DS's and didn't know anyone that did.

TBR makes a suspension kit that lowers the machine and uses stock shocks, but the best bet would be to buy a set of ssd elka's and drop the whole machine a bunch.
