if you dont want to mess with your ride height, dont buy any suspension. even a 1inch extended swingarm will put it stinkbug style.
thanks fiveo, now my next ? is there an arm out

i can use to maybe stiffen the rear end up

ou am i out of luck
you have a heavy duty spring right?

if not theres a trick to stiffen and lift the rear end. get a(or 2-3, depending on how tall you want to lift it) 3" washer and set it on the top of the spring, then put the shock back together and reinstall.

ill be starting a tips and trick section in ministothemax.com soon that will show it all in detail.
If you get an aftermarket swingarm with a stock shock it wont raise it too much, and for motarding it will be have longer wheelbase so it will be more stable.
for motard you should raise up the whole bike if you have the money to, you will be able to lean further, cuz hte footpegs wont hit the ground
thanx for the info

gonna buy the arm now

when i recieve it i probly ask how to raise the front

thanx again :D
oh jeez!

dont get in too deep, you might start a avalanche of needed parts.
