im running stock setup with heavy springs front and rear. i installed +1 fork tubes to replace bent stock ones, this raised the front end though. a few friends are running the same set up in the front but with an i-shock in the rear and thier bikes sit level. a few are also running i believe m50 front end? i dont know alot about this front end but you might be able to do a search to get mor info.

that's what I used when i stunted, along with some pegs


oh ok cool

i wanted to keep just hd springs front and rear but i didn't want to have to replace the bent stock legs eventually



all i need now is a stock 110 shock w/hd spring, some rear pegs, and a stock front wheel w/street tire

another thing, I also used the pro taper top clamp and ran the bars all the way forward. I'm only 5'10" but it was just easier to do stand up wheelies off the foot pegs instead of using the stunt pegs.

cool

thanks for the info, i want stunt pegs the most out of anything, i can wheelie but i have to keep my legs hanging off the back of the bike to be able to get the front end up (only running stock motor)



i'm thinking about just running +1's up front and just using the stock shock with hd spring, i can just cut the fork springs to shorten up the front??

i would not cut the front springs, i cut down my hd fork legs by one inch, i had to use a large drill bit to open the inside up and drill a new dowel pin hole. if you already have stiff springs i would just put hd fork tubes in, delrin bushings and replace the steering steam ball bearings with tapered bearings. a stock 50 motor should pull you up in first gear, may have to get the revs up chop the throttle lean back and get back on it. the only time i havent seen this work was with my nephew, but hes only 85lbs, not enough wieght leaning back, so we taught him how to neutral drop which is another option for you.
