numnek, is that the mbrp exhaust on your ds?
if so, you might want to consider changing it. it has been dyno proven to restrict hp in most applications.
it was the first pipe i had on my ds, and i thought it was ok (but had never ridden a piped ds before...so the prolly 1 hp gain i got felt fine) until i tried the WB and HMF pipes, then i fealt true power.
the reason is, even with the "race" series exhaust, all it is, is a big can with a TINY (were talking like pinky sized hole) at the front of the can....
not to mention they are LOUD! lol
if its not the mbrp then disregard everything i just said.

It was a chore to musle that thig around, I had to do it that way because I didnt have much room with the LT 250 in the garage as well, I have since sold the LT so now I dont stand it up anymore. Besides, I have since added a AC Racing 6 pac rack, so I cant stand it up even if i wanted to.

I am glad you brought that up cause i am very close to getting the Big Gun complete system and change the CDI, what is your opinion on the Big Gun compared to HMF?

yours looks pretty nice as well by the way. (are the rims pc'd or teflon ? or...?)

Thanks Roost! I get a lot of compliments on my rims, they are powder coated, and I am looking for Black rims for the DS, ITP has a forged rim in black that is sweet, but they dont provide a hole pattern for the DS, if you have a source for black rims for the DS please let me know.

I have the 12 Volt cord for my Cobra GPS 500. I've never hooked hook up that cord yet - But hooking it up to the ignition switch is a good idea. If I did hook it up to my ATV power, I'd probably keep a set of AA's in it just in case something ever happened and I could still walk out, or find my way back to my quad. I did find an awesome deal at Costco for thier Kirkland brand multipack batteries, enough to last all year! They were less than $10 for a pack of 48! Less than $0.50 per day! I've run Duracell, and I cant tell any difference between the two.
Thats pretty insignificant when compared to race gas and all the other stuff - But, then again, 50 cents is 50 cents!
Also, for those that are looking at GPS's, find one that can take some decent G shock - Jumps can momentarily kill many of the GPS units out there - My brother has that problem with his. Waterproofing is also a good idea.

being into everything electronic and rc cars...i go through a LOT of batteries...mainly AA's
i have found to not buy the generic brand batts, and that rayovacs seem to be the best deal (sometimes lasting longer than E2's and coppertops) with great prices.
that, and i have my own little manufacturing facility for recharging AA NIMH cells lol (huge trays of them...but once they start getting old they only hold about 300-400 mah )
i have found the best deal is on ebay. they sell gross packs of basically any brand of batts for about 40 bucks shipped. i got 144 duracells, expiration 2011 for 41 shipped to my door [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
my gps sucks down the AAA's like none other though.... maybei ll have to fork over more cash for backups for it on ebay.
anway enough about batteries lol
jmac PC'd his ds rims black, and i have always been in love with his setup (i love the black/orange with the red annodizing on the elka shocks peaking through [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] )
once i get my new 05 ds i plan to PC the front bumper/arms and rims. hopefully they can do it all for about 100 (if i get it blasted myself)

want to race. If we switch rides he beats me. If I do more engine work I will likely switch to something else. I'm not sure why
it runs so good, mostof my riding is above 8500ft up to around 11000ft. Mods tend to be a little different at high altitude. I've never ridden this thing below 4500ft.
