www.50stunt.com for your stunt parts and big bar kit. your definetly gonna need some stiffer suspension, depends how much money you want to spend though. I run chromoly +1 fork legs with heavy duty springs, and an Elka shock in the rear. Raises the bike about 2 inches front and rear and tightens it up for us 200 + lb riders.

Go to Wal-Mart and pick up a peg for the left rear, and go on Ebay and pick up a big bar kit. That's all ya need. Oh yeah hit up Ebay for some street tires too!

Get some street tires from your local dealer. Get the IRC tires for scooters. You can get a big bar kit from www.pitking.com for $149.99 right now. Right now I am just using a homemade riser. I weigh 190lbs and I can tell you the first thing you want to do right now is buy stiffer springs for front and rear. You can also get them from pitking. I just got a subframe lift from them and will be putting that on today. Ought to help a little since I am 6' tall. I also put some 1/2" spacers on the footpeg bracket to lower it a little to accomodate my long legs. Remove the spark arrestor, cut the airbox, and raise the needle one notch and you can start really playing.

Here is a link for a set of springs.
http://www.pitking.com/pt/603-KIT.html
Link for the subframe lift if you want that. Makes the bike a lot more comfortable to ride.
http://www.pitking.com/pt/501-L.html
Link for the bar kit.
http://www.pitking.com/pt/601-KIT.html
Or the cheap riser instead of the bar kit.
http://www.50ccracing.com/50ccRacing...gh%20riser.asp
This is another cheap riser for the stock bars.
http://www.50stunt.com/controls_bar_riser.htm
Link for the tires I use. Link is just for reference. You can probably get them cheaper at your dealer.

Link for stunt stuff. Bars, brake kits, pegs, etc.

Fork bushings to get rid of that slop in the front end.

Link to some information that might be usefull to you.

And just to let you know, if you are just starting out don't get frustrated w/ it. It took me a month to be able to ride a wheelie over 50ft. 6 months later I am doing standups on the rear pegs w/ no handbrake, staggered standups, highchairs w/ no handbrake(hurts sometimes), almost got circles down, riding wheelies till my damn arm gives out, still can't get those stoppies though. Anybody around here figure out how to take some of the pressure off your wrist when you ride a wheelie for 2 solid minutes? We have been trying to see who can ride 2 miles in the middle of second gears rev range. 2 miles at 15mph takes a while.

Re: Bought my first Fiddy today.. help....
thanks for all the help.. I ordered the pitking big bar kit for $150.. BBR HD spring for the rear, and Fork Springs for the forks.. I also ordered a set of Motard tires from sik 50's..
question.. are bushings better than springs for the forks?? or is it preference?..

Re: Bought my first Fiddy today.. help....
I like my joker big bar kit. The top clamp is more forward so it will give you more leg room if you are a taller guy. Got a rear I shock, cdi box, brake extention for the rear brake lever and some Pirelli 3.00-10 street tires.
