gncc'ers need your help

[jfarrar30]

not sure if im gonna stick with mx or go gncc or just stop racing altogether but have a few questions for the guys racing gncc.
1. what are you doing to your airboxes to get the machine to breath and keeping thing sealed to the elements at the same time?

2. whats a good tire choice?

3. front beadlocks necessary?

4. any tricks or tips feel free to ramble

5.any pics?

Sorry to hijack the thread but hey Gold Rims, just wondering how your LTR does in the woods, ive been thinking about building an LTR myself aimed for the woods. What all was necassary to get afermarket before it was ready?

it depends on skill,

if ur good enought to manover throught the obstticals on the 49inch width then no need to shorten
if not then go with the -1- -2 a arms,
same with axle
a stabilzer would help with fatigue
same with bars and a stem with antivibe
and revalved shocks from i shock for about 300 would do nicely

so ur looking at any where from , nothing, to 1k, to about 2k it all depends how good u are

First thing that needs to be done is you need to get a Stabilizer (for some reason, the steering can really beat you up). I just got a Precision, and I love it. Next you need to get some 4-1 offset wheels for the front (I have non-beadlock Douglass Ultimates). This will take you down to 47in. Where the front goes, the rear will follow. Next I would go with an axle that you can adjust. I would then go for some shocks or a rebuild, and maybe some Flexx bars.

I finally put shocks, stabilizer, and axle on mine and it rocks. The bike is so stable in the woods and around corners.
