So does anyone stunt a 50 with a +2 swinger, SGR race shock or equvilent, and SP5's or equvilent? That's my current setup and I'm thinking about going back to my stock swinger, keeping the SGR shock and lowering my forks as far as I can. I need suspension travel for random jumps.

i dont think it matters its just some thing to get used to
I actually just put my pegs back on the rear, but when I ride on them and the front starts to go down, I give it gas but my chain seems to be puting alot of tension/pressure on the chain skid on the swinger and I can feel it ALOT. Every time a link passes of the skid it jerks the bike. It only does it when I accelerate hard and the chain tightens up alot.
Like you said it takes practice and I could rock the crap out of my stock 50. With my suspension upgrades my stoppies have suffered a whole lot because my forks abosrb my momentum when I lean through my weight forward and hit the brake. I guess I'm just gonna siffen them up some and see where that gets me.
I was just wondering who rocked it??? Hell I may just go back to stock with some HD springs in the front and keep that nice shock in the rear.

I run this set up and stunt on it. I think my swinger is 2.5 or 3. Its harder, I have trouble doing really slow circles and things like vs stock setup, but you should be able to adjust.
Its great running this setup, you can stunt, you can jump, or even race around the go kart track. The swing arm makes a big difference on the feel of any bike.

Do you have pegs on your rear axle? If so do you get a funny vibration from the chain rubbing on the top part of the swinger? There is a piece of derlin or something to let the chain slide, but when alot of tension is put on it it rubs it so hard that I can feel each link rub and it vibrates the whole bike.
i have the same set up on my fitty ,sp5s and 2 inch rear bbr swingger,and stunt it up.of course i can kill it on the stock but just upgraded to 88 kit with the sp5 and swingarm and i can rock some crazy circles and slow wheelies scraping 12 bar just gotta get use to it i guess for the chain rubbing dont still quite know what youre talking bout that doesnt happen to mine but re-adjust maybe?
i got a + 2 swing arm and an sp5 with a 12 inch front rim and i do everything and anything on it pavement stunts,dirt jumps, skate parks you name it i'll hit it so i would say dont change a thing unless your really uncomfortable and if you are and want to sell anything hit me up with a pm or something, hold it wide bro.

i run sp-5s an i shock and a 2+ swinger, i like it but i can do stoppies cus of the forks but compared to stock i like the bigger susp better
set up the forks better and they wont be at soft. order the bbr upgraded fork springs for the sp5's and when you put the springs in, change the fork oil to 30 weight. makes a huuuge difference! almost as stiff as adult springs in stock forks but with alot more travel and strength
with your chain, loosen it up a bit at the tensioner and make sure its straight. and maybe replace the chain cause it could be stretched as hell
