i would say go get a engine stuff like

the takegawa s stage kit (which i think is realy good for the money)

and a good pair of forks...for example the marzocchis...

im from germany and over here we have a marzocchi dealer which sells them 32mm forks but only with the bar mounts for the stock fiddy....

but that shouldnt be a problem to put sumthin between that and mount a mx style bar

the forks there are about 359 euro

if u go with them its ok if u dont wanna take em i would say take a look at www.crf50racer.com over there they have a lot of products ..so ull be able to scroll and look what fits ur needs the best

for forks...look here :

I have a set of BBR SP-5s and I like them alot, but I've thought about going to the Marzocchi that come with a complete wheel with disk brakes. I would recommend a BBK that comes with a performance head as a matched kit. Atomic 50's has one or go with a R-Stage.

I have seen bad reports on the Attomic BBK so not sure about that , what about extended fork legs and stiffer springs is that worth doing ?

If you don't have a bar kit on it already, you might be better off going with a set of BBR SP-5s for a few bucks more. Start adding up what you'll need and you'll see. I would go with a oil bath fork over pogo sticks. IMO.
