what kind of bike. i am guessing a 50. you could probably do stock 70 forks since they are a bit bigger. the bbr sp-5's may be too big then maybe just a spring in the back with a stock 70 swingarm or a 70 shock with 70 swingarm

Yes its a 50. An what 70 are you talking about?

Im to PRO · 03-24-2009, 11:33 PM

the honda 70. most parts are interchangable. you might want to try the i-shock too and go with like a bbr superstock swingarm. there are many options. what kind of budget are you on?

I don't need anything stiff for him I need something forgiving like stated. But right now hes bottoming out the rear shock on the jumps.
