Upgrading the 50
05' 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. 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, 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
BBR sells bikes already modded to those specs. Either way, that's a pretty big chunk of change to lay out. What areyou planning on using the bike for? MX? Check out the stuff at BBR's website; I'm very happy with the stuff I've bought from them so far.
