So i got a set of the M985 Trail pedals (185g) and got to work....
It was a little nerve wracking at times...ripping up a brand new set of expensive pedals will do that i guess, but i only slipped with the file a couple of times and pedals get bashed up pretty quickly, so no matter.
Once the cage was cut down and most of the residual teeth filed down (i left a couple to aid flipping during engagement) the weight was 165g - not that i'm counting, but the Race pedals are only 155g...and these have *way* more surface area...
They are going to rock...
Anyone need some M970 xtr pedals going cheap? :-)~
Then i finished off the guide...
This required more cutting, filing, sanding and a little material removed from the outer/lower edge of the plastic bit of the guide cage...this gives me the clearance i need between the crank arm inner surface and the guide. Sweet.

nice work with the pedals man!
It's 1992 all over again!
I did this to my new xtr m985's as well, much nicer underfoot than my eggbeaters and much faster to clip into for cx stuff.
Still happy with the modded pedals?
gah! sorry brett! hadnt seen this til now. yep...i love them and am about to do another set...it doesnt take long but its well worth it...
