suspension upgrade

ok, i put a 85 kdx80 front forks and triple clamp, a 83 xr80 rear swingarm thats 3 inches longer, and a ct70 rear wheel for a wider rear tire. it was cheap but wasnt easy to install i spent around a hundred to upgrade the suspension, now i need a better shock and im good to go. tell me what you think.

Re: suspension upgrade

your going to want to install a frame brace, with the long forks, and the long swingarm with a stock frame......thats a lot of stress being applied to the frame backbone....

looks good none-the-less

Re: suspension upgrade

That's a big bike. Look at how small it makes that H2 look in the background.

i just made a bracket simalar to the original and extended it out and down. now the only problem i have is the suspension is just to soft, so i might have to redo the mounting piont on the swingarm.
