Budget build help!

[Biohazard58]

Hey all. I have a 2005 crf50 allready has a takegawa 88cc big bore kit, joker tall handlebars, bbr hd fork springs, bbr heavy rear shock spring. And me n some buddies are really getting into the mini stuff. We have been building a track the past fiew days with a bobcat. I'm pleased with the power for now. But I think the suspension needs upgraded cuz it's bottoming out pretty hard on some jumps. I'm 22 n I weigh 140 lbs. I race side by sides professionally and build them so I fully understand all the tech stuff.
I just don't know how good each product is. But I mainly look at bbr stuff But my question is since I'm not racing in organized events or nothing how good of stuff do I need? Like which forks and rear shock would do good for me and not bottom? And should I get a new swing arm? I was looking at the fox float for the rear but would just a shock do it? So what should my next mod be? Thanks guys.

i have been looking at these for a while only $280 for forks, complete wheel, bars ect
Here's the link:

There is a rear and front combo but ive heard the T-3 rear shocks crap

the above fork kit looks to be non adjustable so dialing in the suspension might be a bit hard..
look just like ya standard china grade stuff

 

[AussieMX]

Ya they arn't adjustable depends how much of a budget you have.

Im only running a fox float and +1 legs and springs and it sits alright but i be looking out for a +2 swingarm though.

You should get the Fox float first, compared to a stock shock it's like night and day so much smoother. After that, if you think you need more forks and a swingarm would be next

Hope that helps

thanks for the replys guys. i had been looking at the bbr sp-5 kit but i think the piranha kit looks better since it includes everything. and is upsidedown forks. but i would like some adjustability and does the fox float resist bottoming well and will it fit on aftermarket swingarms when i go to buy one later on?

 

[AussieMX]

You an always change the oil weight in the forks to adjust them a bit. The fox float will work with most A-Style aftermarket swingarms.

Heres Cash's crf (sweet set-up by the way)
Zocchi's, +4 swinger and Fox Float

that look's sweet! it handle jumps well? what forks,swingarm is that and where can i get them?

 

[AussieMX]

it's not mine, it is has crf50 marzocchi shiver forks, +4 sano swingarm, fox float, 12/10 wheels and i think a billetware frame. Sweet set-up, hoping my bike had the same. I have marzocchi's on my motovert they feel like your on a big bike the amount of travel you get, and i have a fox float on my drz70 and you just cant compare a stock shock to it.

You can buy most of them from Faster-Minis - Pitbikes Minis Fiddy XR50 XR70 CRF50 CRF70 TT-R90 KLX110 DRZ110

not sure about the swingarm though

 

[Biohazard58]

i looked at the marzocchis but there just so dang expensive for a playbike. is there any more cost effective alternatives? adjustability would be nice and it would be great to have the big bike feel. but i just cant drop 1k into forks for it

 

[AussieMX]

Yeah i hear ya on that my motovert came with them and the bike all together only cost 1200, so i got lucky with that.

Theres these heard some good reviews on them after they've had the correct oil put in them for your weight:
