Front Springs

Re: Front Springs

Buick before you get new springs

1. Move your bars forward
2. Get rid of the big seat
3. Make brakes work
4. Jump dirt and like Brad said soften those ****ers up

Re: Front Springs

why do you say move your bars forward? You want them even with the forks for jumping

I've got Sik50's and they are fine

Re: Front Springs

Moving the bars forward would put more weight on the front end. Therefore, "breaking" the springs in,.

Re: Front Springs

His bars are way back. Not even with the forks. His 50 feels like your riding a chopper cuz you sit so far back on the seat cuz the bars are back.

That's and the crazy kid is like 6'7" tall.

It's got sick power though.

Re: Front Springs

you can get a set of progressive springs that are stiffer then stock, but not as much as the heavy duty ones.

Re: Front Springs

For jumping people run em forward or back. Its all personal preferance. Its different at first but you might like it.
