background check- i race motocross and have for 5 years, i love it. i saw some 50 stunt videos on a truck forum (im into fixing up chevy s10s as well as racing) and fell in love. few days after seeing that vid i went and picked up a new out the door bone stock 05 crf50, which matches my 05 crf450 very nicely, haha.

anyways so im new to the whole stunt thing, i can jump a 100ft gap fine on my 450 but cant ride 12's on my 50. lol. everything takes time, im sure the stock bars have something to do with it.

so i do have a warranty and not a ton of cash to drop. im just looking to get "the essentials" to break into the world of neighborhood stunting. i heard the big bar kit, 3.0x10 street\scooter tires and some pegs from wally world are a must. what about a lift kit? what about tall seats? just looking for opinons, ect. i have the pegs but only have enough room for one, do i have to get a crf70 rear axle to fit both, or can i use something else? make mine work somehow?

something else that has really got my attention is the hand brake for the rear, although it seems expensive for what it is, it also looks like a good idea and something that will help with wheelies and harder combos. what are your thoughts on that?

ive been reading some of the other threads trying to get some info, these are the questions i felt i needed to hear more about. thanks guys.

 

what you have in mind will work great, definately get the handbrake. a friend of mine got the tall BBR seat today and took it off after 2 hours of riding as it seems too "board like" and made things more uncomfortable on the street ( plus we slid off it worse than the stock seat)

get heavy duty springs front and rear as fast as you can cause the stock suspension sux! other than that its' all practice. welcome to the new addiction!

EDIT: as for the longer axle, i just removed teh stock chain adjusters adn welded some M6 bolts to the pegs for adjusting and the stock axle was long enough.
