Back when stuntlife was stuntlife you could search a question and find out what the best riders in the sport had to say regarding the subject. If the subject hadn't come up yet you could post it and the best riders in the sport would weigh in on it, while everyone else took note. Anyway, this post isn't to lament the devolution of stuntlife so I'll get off that tangent.

If you have been stunting for a while, chances are you have a spot, a support group of friends you ride with, and if you are really lucky you have a resident pro (or pros) that ride at your spot. With the resources of these people at arms length you probably have a pretty good idea of how to set up a stuntbike. If this isn't your situation, make friends on the boards, load up your bike and ride with people better than yourself. It is only then you will ever truly progress. If a comp comes up within a days drive go support it, if you love this sport help it grow. But I digress, as actively supporting stunt riding isn't what this thread is about.

If you fall into the category of people that are just getting into the sport, you're beating your bike on the backroads and beating your head against the wall trying to get the hang of everything, you need to start somewhere. That's what this thread is about. It's getting a good baseline set up on your bike that you can use to progress rather than everyone that starts out having to re-invent the wheel and discover fire on their own.

At the end of the day there isn't one perfect bike set up, it's whatever works for the individual. I just wanted to present more than a half a dozen accomplished riders on different machines and show what is working for them. These men are all at the top of their games and can use almost any equipment they care too. This is a glimpse into what combination they individually deemed to be the best.

Check out fullthrottleinc.net, go to "pro-rider set-up", it's the link at the top of the page farthest to the left. Hope it helps. Thanks to everyone that took the time out to help me put this resource together.

[gsxr 4 life]

I'm a professional racer but a newbie at stunting and i wouldn't even trust an ex-girlfriend that i hate to ride a bike with a rear hand brake set up like the ones that were uploaded in a earlier post....

Any Riders life is well worth spending 60 bucks from www.moto-heaven.com and getting a machined cylinder tap.
