I have a friend with stock 50 motor and 2 inch custom frame extention and he couldnt wheelie it at all. We bored it out to 88cc and he cant keep the front end down. I would switch the swinger or bore it out

If you want to wheelie worth a shart, you need to run the back brake. I'd suggest getting a rear hand brake or making one yourself. The swingarm shouldn't be a problem. There's a local guy killing it w/ a freaking 5-6in over mono swingarm. He's on knobbys as well.
The keys to a good wheelie are, rear brake control and finding a rear tire pressure that works good for you....ie lower the tire pressure.
As for the sdg forks, I wouldn't put them on anything for stunting. They are way heavy and will make you problems now even worse.
I'd say all your missing is the hand brake and a little practice.

I used to wheelie all the time on knobs, and just recently got a rear hand brake. Just keep those toes over the foot break. Start at a low rpm, that way if it starts to go back you can just let off and most of the time it will drop.

where do you put a hand brake and how do you set it up?

You could always make one, just find something with a cable that is long enough. Or go to the hard ware store and look around, I'm sure there is something in there that will help you extend the brake rod.
