Scott,
The DE has the lighter flywheel 35W 2K-2 ignition. All the Euro spec street hardware and associated wiring is removed and a simple kill switch takes its place. The lights are activated by a toggle switch in the headlight shell (if supplied). The DE is the bike to get, although a lot of guys may want a flywheel weight for the snot, and the 14oz is plenty. A lot of people here think the EC flywheel is too heavy, thats the main reason for the DE. I thought it was good in the rocks but too heavy in the sand, so I went with the 2K-2 and a weight, which is great. I spent hours stripping junk and wire off my EC just to fit what I did need, and agree it has no place on a race bike. If someone wants more flywheel weight/stator output than the 14 oz, you can always get them a 2K-3 EC ignition, as the motor accepts both and it drops right in, using the same CDI.
