Definitely made a huge difference, no doubt. It’s physics, less material, less resistance. Drill 10 holes, 5 on each of the “V” side. It’s not drastic, it’s balanced. Ride and adjust, ride and adjust, ride and adjust, just tuning the ride.
Just curious, does the power button wiring go through a hole in the rear bushing on your board? I did this drilling mod to my board, but couldn't remove the rear because of the wires. Didn't want to remove the deck and my fresh grip tape.
Yes it does go through the bushing. I removed the bolts from the bushing and wiggled it too get enough slack to tip the bushing for drilling. Take your time and slowly rock it back and forth until you are able to tip the bushing for drilling it out. 👍
Rides a lot better and looser. Now I have room for adjustments where before the adjustment screw was backed out all the way. I had to tighten up the screw. I’m more of a soul carver type of rider.
This is a cool tip! I like that idea.
Would be great to know how much different this little modification makes as I find my propel very difficult to turn and would love to loosen it up.

Hi Don, have you tried filing the steering limiters? If yes, how does it ride now?
I am afraid the drilled bushing won't last long.... Thought they were going to release softer bushings?
They are think they announced yesterday
Did you see a noticeable difference after you trimmed the limiter? Any issues?

I made a video for the rear bushing drilling method you can watch on my channel.
