Re: Staggs Racing

Ok well, assuming you are using good, quality parts, the big bike style will be more plush and soak up more then the A style set up.

But make no mistake, if you go with the big bike style and use crappy parts, you will have a very nice "pogo stick" ride.

Reeg and BBR have spent ALOT of time testing what works the best. These other company's did no testing and are in it for the $$ only.

Stagg's claims too have done some testing and they use what they sell with great results.

Our Reeg GP combo kits came ready too ride for the most part. We told them what bike, rider weight and riding style...they set it up for us basicly.

Re: Staggs Racing

if i end up getting a 70, i'll just get my mounts made. then stregthen the frame like slowracer when i get them welded on. and probably a cradle welded on too.

would i still have enough room around the motor with the enforced frame and a cat 5 cradle?

Re: Staggs Racing

Here's my Xr 70. 80 forks, Staggs rear kit. You will have to do some modification to install on the 70. Mostly spacers for the wheel and I had to use them on the pivot bolt. Too much space and a sloppy fit initially. Welding the mount is good for adjusting your ride height.
I however don't jump it. I do ride it pretty hard though. The ride is good. The shock has some adjustment to it. Mainly just slowy rebound.
All in all for the money what else is there?
The forks and shock and swingarm kit have made the bike and lot more fun to ride. The gpx engine doesn't hurt either.

Re: Staggs Racing

Thats a nice setup. I loved my 80 forks I had. They was so plush.(and light) I regret selling them and getting rcm forks. Brakes are a ton better on the RCM front end tho...
