well, sorry guys, no pics. my camera's dead. 

however, this was my result...

with all weights drilled out to 7.5g/ea, my acceleration has improved somewhat mildly. going up hills that would normally be around 25-28mph are now handled between 30-32mph. still, not what i'am looking for. i borrowed a set of 6.5g weights from a buddy with a ruckus and wow! accel improved drastically, and i'am fairly certain i may have gained a mile or two at the top. guess i need to go lighter after all. now where did i put that money?...

i suppose i'am going to hold out for a malossi or dr pulley var. i know everyone seems to rave about the multivar. any opinions about the dr pulley var in contrast?

hey folks, figured now is as good a time as any to move from lurker status to actually posting something. i've already used a lot of information i've gathered on here to work on my scooter ('06 a50), and i have to say it runs pretty killer right now.

my problem lies in the 8g dr pulley sliders i am currently using. i feel they may be a bit too heavy. i have great top end (40-45mph flat - 48-50mph downhill gps confirmed), but my uphill climbs are fairly unacceptable (less than 30mph, considering most of the roads i travel on have a 45mph limit).

my question is this... has anyone thought of or had any experience drilling out the brass centers of the weights and using a scale (accurate to 0.1g) to reduce the weight, rather than buy lighter sets? i'am thinking of drilling out 0.1g at a time and testing until i find a better balance of acceleration/top speed.

i'am open to any other suggestions, criticism, whatnot... just trying to squeak out a little more balance without spending any more money at the moment. thanks for any and all help!
