depends how much you got to spend? i would just get some +1's and springs and a rear shock FOX air shock or something. then if you got more go with the motor w/auto clutch for now. then swingarm. For jumping backyard i think SP-5s are good but i like sik50's forks they arent as much trouble as SP-5s and set for a bigger rider. I dont think you need a cam but then the maual clutch.

-Go with stiffer front springs and extended fork legs in the stock forks with an extended swinger and rear shock first.

-Then when you get more money, buy forks and sell the stock forks with the extended legs and springs on eBay to make about $100-$150 back.

-Then go with motor mods and an exhaust to match.

This is on your Z50, right? If so then I would go with a set of plus 1's and stiffer springs and a set of rear shocks. I jump my '87 Z50 all the time and thats what I have on it.
