Can it be cut down safely? Would it create a bad form of bias? Is this a stupid question?

Yeah I sorta figured it was a dumb question
I just hate the look of the DSS and would like to change it.

Someone got industrious and had a new one CNC milled out of a huge hunk of billet... but if I recall the costs was rather horrific. The block of metal was the better part of a grand before it ever was touched by tooling.

What about a SS swingarm with the shock mount on the vertical valvecover? I cant remember if it was NCR or another company that sold the mount. The swing arm looks a bit better & loosing the linkage would prob. drop some weight.

How about an SSS from an S4 !
Or a JMC braced swinger ($$, nice alum piece but heavy, w a geometry changing eccentric adjuster) A friend had one on an SS yrs ago.
Apparently quite a few people have done the S4 SSS on M900's ...machining engine cases a lot

That's come up a few times here and on the other Duc boards. Apparently requires drilling the cases and quite a bit of other fabrication and $$.
Dub Luv used an SS swinger on an S2R frame I believe...looks like all it required was the valve cover mount.

Upper shock-mounts are going to be an issue.

Powdercoat the swingarm black and any ugly you saw before goes away.
