that rear shock angle is very shape, i think you will need a shorter shock,

Farkkkk man looks mint! haha doesnt look to bad with 12/12.
and corey mine is the same i have a 280mm on mine atm and people said it should be fine and im running a dhz extended 50 style frame with 14/12 and the right size forks so dunno. i might be going down to a 270 or so though might be a bit to high :/

haha its all good mate, the plastics and seat are sitting higher then normal because of the support made the tank higher by about 12mm (the back of the seat is about 20mm higher then normal untill i bolt it on) also when i sit on it it looks like a normal bike when you sit on it

yeh i will try the 14/12 tomoz but the should be all sweet

yer it might look normal when sitting on it with no chain,
but add a chain on it when you adj it right with no weight on it it be fine then you add weight and bumps and it be pulling to tight then you set it so you have weight on the bike, you take the weigh off it way to loose. see it all the time in the shop. them Thumb stars where shocking for it the 125 model not the little crf50 one

 

[mattbombers]

ok yes point taken mate well i guess its just trial and error with the build thanks

 

[corey58]

just letting you know, hate to see that shiny swing arm all chewed up

 

[mattbombers]
