Upgrading the 50

I've read through some of the basics and what not, so lets see what results I can get here.

04' CRF50 needing some info upgrades and brands.
I have an Ishok that fits the stock frame and swingarm, TwoBrothers Big bar Kit with Pro taper bars, and Big Gun Race exhaust.
I need opinions, pro's, cons and suggestions...
What I want to do...

Front Forks- I need more travel and be able to support 220+ jumping and riding, I'm going to try to learn how to properly stunt it also. Want to replace the whole system unless it is absolutely not needed.

Wheels- 12 all the way around, or 14 in front and 12 in rear? Disc brakes also and resevoir F&B

Swingarm- I'm undecided between a race style one or one that looks like the stock. I see the race styles are saying more extension and added ride heigth.
Will a race style bolt up to the stock frame and will it work with the ISHOK? Or do I need mods to make it match up? Need all hardware and accesories to match.

Frame- Need a taller and longer frame, About as big as I can get for the 50.

420 conversion

Motor- 110 or 125 upgrade?

Manual clutch setup, New pegs, Air filter

New plastics, gas cap spill cans, anything I am missing???

Basically I'm making a whole new bike, slowly but surely it will get there. I'm not looking to break the bank, ($1000 parts), but I want **** I don't need to replace again.
Been searching EGAY for parts and see alot of 50Caliber and Flyin50's stuff, once in awhile a good deal comes up, this stuff any good and reliable?

Thanks

Re: Upgrading the 50

buy a larger bike and leave the 50 a as a 50, it will probly be cheaper in the long run. crf100 would work good. sounds like the only thing you want to keep about the fifty is the plastics. make sure you don't do a 14 inch front if you do build it up, there are no tires out there, go with 12.

Re: Upgrading the 50

it sounds like you want to turn a 50 into a 70. go buy a 70 or a kawi 110.
