Mine was the newer aluminum bodied unit.

 

Gotcha, will avoid.

 

hey... i got a DS and i am wondering if these solve the problems that can throw you off the bike. The steering seems to make up its own mind sometimes. I want to know a way to solve this before i get thrown off of it. Thanks, Sean

 

If you get the A-arms, full set or just the uppers, it fixes what the steering stabilizer covers up. You need the a-arms, you don't need the steering stabilizer. It resists your efforts to turn the handlebars as well as rocks and ruts and stuff.
.... Quick response is essential in trail riding, my TimmyBoy uppers give me stability at speed and in sand, and I can flick the front end right where I want it, when I want it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
