Son Needs taller 50... Help....

[e4dragongunner]

He just fits a 70 but not going that route..... I am going to upgrade the 50

How much taller do the bbr forks make the bike???? Also what should I do to the back end... Ishock????... this will not be for an adult though I may ocasionally

take it for a ride.... His riding is as such as a 70 will(is) holding him back... Thanks in advance guys.... I want to keep the seat height around 25 or so... for now... is this possible.... oh and I plan to install an 88cc kit this fall... which one??? Thanks ??

You can do a swingarm with an iShock in the rear, and if you dont want to do the BBR forks, you can get longer lower fork legs. Or, if you are willing to spend some dough, you can get a frame that comes with a swingarm and shock. There are many combinations, all at different prices. You just need to do some research on what is best for your kid. As for the 88 kit, go with the Honda Trail Bikes. Same quality for a much more affordable price.

the bbr forks give it a chopper feel to it. best bet it i shock and two brother kit cause the legs are longer but with an i shock the fornt is level with the back. also the springs that come with it arent too stiff there just right.

Do you mean the 1" fork extenders, and you mention the I shock, do they come in different lengths? and will I need a longer swing arm??? ?? Thanks guys!!!!

you do not have to get a swingarm. the i shock is fully adjustable. they only come in one size, if you get the one with resivoir just flip it upside down so you dont have to cut the seat. the tbros kit i bleive is +1 legs with +1 springs i believe. gives you 2 inches total. those two things really makes a difference, i think its worth it. the prot taper bars are very nice and sturdy. but you should just get the pro taper kit for 200:

i can show you a pic of my fifty if you would liek to see what it looks like with the suspension on it.

Thanks Again...

with res you HAVE to cut your seat and mount it properly, if you dont it changes performance and voids warranty. theres no performance difference between the ishock with res or without. the shock tends to fade, no matter if its got the res or not. and the ishock is not fully ajustable only the "limited edition" is.

you could save a bit more and get a full fork kit!

Full fork kits are worth the money.

Go with the SP5s, the i shock, and the classic honda +2 swingarm.

[e4dragongunner]

Hey RaceMX what would the seat height be with the BBR forks and the I ?? shock and +2 swingarm???

Thanks

[five0addict]

the bike will sit 3-4 inches taller

[e4dragongunner]

Just to verify.... 3 to 4 inches taller than a bone stock xr/crf50... right???

He just want to thank everyone!!!!! I would be lost with out this forum!!!! ??

[desertfiddy]

first of all the i shock is a good shock and it wont void your warranty to mount it upsidedown, and it does make a difference in performance between the reivoir and non resivoir i shock. the resivoir holds more fluid allowing the oil to stay cooler and makes the shock perform better for longer rides. you guys really watse your money on fifties. no offense but everyone who has liek 4k or whatveer in suspneion and stuff is pretty stupid cuase you can buy a big bike for cheaper that will go fatser then any 50 and still has better suspension.i can idle past a 110cc fifty on my 250

thats a good set up but to save cost on swing arm you can install one from a 70 but if i remember right i had to make a mount for the chain guide.or skip the swing arm and raise the sp5 forks in the trees to get rid of the chopper ride.worked good on girlfriends bike
