#3 toy hauler trailer because i dont have one now and i am prob getting a truck any ways...
#4 alot of little stuff like cam, gear, plastics and other small stuff

IDK u help me out?!?!

I would love ot have a toy hauler too, but it would be about double the price of all the rest combined. I would maybe look at a few small things, like piston, cam and a few things like that and maybe some new riding gear. That is unless the toy hauler was an option and then I would just try for that.

yah i think i wanna do the motor but that leaves the plastics UGLY!!! i would do a cam and piston

Don't worry about the plastics. Anything looks good if it's up front.

I dont understand why everyone does motor work before suspension. On stock motor still you'll be faster with suspension than anything you do to your motor. Once suspension is done you can put all the stock power to the ground, then I'd consider motor work.

I admin I picked up my 04R with hrc cam and I already had my sparks pipe here and I was still slower than I was on my 416ex. So the first thing I did was find some low priced standard travel a-arms then I saved to send my shocks to derisi. Now even still running that setup on my motor and suspension I have yet to be beat when messing around on the small track we have around or just dragging.

Cant wait for this summer when I get to race a stroked cannondale and my frends predator with 5000$ in his motor. I bet I still give them both a good run. If I am at all slower than either i'll buy a baldwin 14:1 piston and I'll be in front again.

as for looks if you have the money why not replace the plastic's and graphics but if your an aggressive rider it wont be too long till the new plastics start to look like the older one's.

Either way good luck with whatever you end up getting.

well said^^^^

i would pic up a pair of shocks, a-arms and even a swingarm. if u have a ton of power with no suspention then it isnt going to make u any faster. plus suspention makes your bike look 10X better...motor work dosnt.

Once I have money I want to try fox long travels over my standard travel derisi's.

I think im going to stick with lone star for the aarms though.
