short/stock swingarm, top endish motor wide as possible, swaybar, lowered but it is possible to go too low... to low and you dont get the weight transfer on the outside

go as wide as the rules allow if possible, anti-roll bar, keep it stock length, good clutch basket and clutch, and get ready to go for a ride

Don't forget a good set of tires.

mine used to be a flat tracker all the guy did before me was weld extra mounts to make the shocks lower on the a arms and swingarm i have a swingarm with a strong mount on it that makes the quad as low as it can go i will post pictures if you want but let me know

ya if you could post some pics that would be nice thanks. where you think would be the best place to get the parts like axle ect.i been looking at g-force axle think it can go all -the way to a +4 not sure.all they want is like 170 for it.what a-arms would u go with?

widne it to 50 inches, go twards top end with the motor.id go with american racer tires or hoosier.

 

[ajblaster]

hooiser or americanracer tires

 

[yzrider]

widen it out with spacers or a arms if u have the cash, 50 inches should be ur goal, put some nice lightweight rims like dwt .125's with hoosier flat track tires, prolly 18-20 inch, make it have alot of top end power in the engine( talk to ken o connor) and keep it short, prolly gonna have to mess with the gearing, remove front fenders and maybe shave rears to give u optimal room to move around so u can really lean into the corners
