how should i do my suspension for drag racing?

[d.shook3]

I'm planning on turning my blaster into a drag bike here soon. Plans for engine are taking care of. I'm just wondering what yous are running suspension wise? I was going to get a 4 inch extended swing arm. Should i get longer? What rear shock should i run? What should i do about a-arms and and front shocks?

Anyone who can help please reply.

hard core drag racers run solid struts...

personally lowered and stuff shocks will work great, shorter shocks with them set stiff

swing arm depends on he engine work, the longer u go, the less traction u get, so u dont wanna go longer then u need

as for shocks, most people just run steel or moly struts

if everything works out im getting a kx 250 engine for it .80 over kips cylinder 4mm stroker crank vforce3 reeds port polished air shifter all the goodies

a +4 with a wheelie bar would be about right i think...
there is aguy here that ice drags a banshee and runs stud boy snowmobile studs in his tires.. +10? swinger.. guess what?!?!? it spins the tires threw 1st 2nd and 3rd..

the longer you go the less weight on the tires for traction

yeh, i would say +4 wheely bar or a +6, maybe some of the graggers will chime in, cough cough tater cough cough

better buy your self extra flywheels and stators...

my buddy had a blaster with a kxt250 3 wheeler motor in it(nonpower valve kx motor) and its tore the frame apart 3 times in the 8 months it was together.. and a pipe is gonna be a pain.. best bet for even close to a bolt on pipe to work is a tecate 4 drag pipe

i say +4 since my buddy has a +4 on his and it rol break traction o na stock kxt250 motor.. you want weight to transfer to the rear tires and stay planted

yeah i was thinking about doing +4 swing arm and try running without wheelie bar but being im 125 pounds i know i wont be able to keep it down and will need the wheelie bar

do the flywheels and stators tend to go bad?
