Planet Minis

Hey, new guy here. I just picked up a 2006 Pitster x2r bone stock and I am really only going to ride it on the street. Me and buddies will be settin' up some small parking lot courses. Anyway, I'm about 6'3" and 215. Since I am pretty new to minis, I was just wondering if anyone out there had any tips for setting this thing up for a taller rider. I know I will really properly "fit" on one of these things (that's the fun of it) but some tips to make life a little easier would be coool. Thanks guys.

Hmmmm... You can jack up the rear by tapping the rings on the spring clockwise. Maybe some super tall BMX handle bars and some big bike pegs....

Sounds good to me. How about an extended swingarm? Taller seat? Is that stuff available? If not, I might be able to fab something up.

Dont know too much bout pit pros but I know that theyre pretty much built with a tall seat but I doubt that anyone makes an extended swinger though... You can also try some stiffer fork springs and some 15weight fork oil.

Maybe you can put a longer rear shock but I'm no Pitster Pro expert so you can give them a call and get the right info on how to setup your bike and wut parts to buy.
