im thinkin of gettin forks & a shock. right now i have stock suspension :?. but have a set of applied springs ill probly throw in tonight just for something. so far im leanning twards the BBR SP-5 fork set. but havent seen many shocks. i would like a shock with a resevior under $200 if possible. does anyone know where i can get great price on these? or info on better forks?

for the forks, it all dpends on the price range, for the rear im sure you could find an ishok wiht res. on ebay for around 200

thanks. a few more questions. do the SP-5 forks come filled with oil, & do you have to get the shocks filled?

 

[mxracer728]

yes, they come filled with oil. When you buy them they are ready to be put on the bike right out of the box

post ur price range and ppl can help more

well im aimming to keep it under $700. which i think i can do if i buy the BBR SP-5 forks with complete bar kit for $599 & sell the bar kit for like 100 bucks. & find a shock for under $200. how much does the res. really help?

the bbr forks suck i hate them

get an ishock they are well worth it

and 100 for bar kit might be but might not be possible all i had left over from the bar kit was bars bar pad and throttle and grips

you need everything else they give ya unless ya have longer cables already but i have the bbr forks and they suck

they blow fork seals like crazy and they are really soft

if you get some put heavy oil in them right away and make sure the seals are in all the way because mine were out a little bit when i got them out of the box and oil was coming out but i fixed them and blew the seals maybe 3 rides after i had them on there better then stock but there not worth the $500 i wish i would have bought another fork than these

i have the sp5s and i think they work great. if you buy the ishock with resivor 224 dollars on holeshot motorsports you get free shipping :wink:

I haven't blown a fork seal on my sp5's yet. Hard landings and track riding and still are fine. I'm leaning towards putting heavier oil in them however. Also get them from holeshot motorsports its 500 with bar kit. :wink:

I think kricket is talking about the older bbr forks.

 

[crf50kid]

ya the old bbr forks sucked. the new ones are really good

I think kricket is talking about the older bbr forks.

sik50s are where its at, dont rush into purchasing something. save up your money and get something youll be way happier with in the end.

thanks for telling me about holeshot motorsports crf50kid & slayer. great deals there. & thatnks everyone for all the advice & opinions. kricket, i have a pro taper bar kit already so i wouldnt use any of the bar kit parts. do you think i could use that or would i have to use the bbr parts?

 

[mxracer728]

you'll have to use the BBR triple clamp and thats all. you might have to use a brake cable unless you already have a longer one

 

[crf50kid]

im pretty sure you can use the pro tapers. and yes holeshot motorsports has really good deals lol :wink:
