if you can get the suspensions in the rear higher than the front it will make it easier to go into the stoppie and you can get to balance point quicker and roll further.i was doing 7.5-8 parking stalls.

definately go with derlin or bronze bushings in the front end but just get the bike going at a good clip in third and squeeze the tank with your knees, seat bounce the a$$ end and grab some brake. you will be rollin them in no time. just be carefull when you first start seat bouncing it may come up a little quick.

Re: longer stoppies??

i like having stiffer springs up front better.i can roll em around 45 feet consitently now. a good tip someone gave me was when you bring it up, LOCK your elbows and keep your arms stright, and look straight ahead, not down. the looking ahead helped alotbecuase you are consentrating infront of you not down at the ground.
