im curious as to what set up everyone is using. stock a-arms with after market shocks, stock a-arms with the mounts relocated to the top, or after market a-arms and shocks? thank you. on my sons 125 he is bottoming the frame out. ive adjusted the front shocks to be more stiff but i would think if i make it to stiff he wont have any suspenion.

we are using a longer shock(13") on the stock a-arms it increased the ground clearance and it also handles better.

If you are looking for a longer swinger and changing the a-arms ,K-fab will build you what you want.
If you want to upgrade the shocks Elka has what you need.
BTW , just the shocks will set you back a $1100.00 plus shipping.
Be prepared to spend the same if not more for suspension than you did for the bike.:eek2:

the reason why i asked this question is that his trx90 being stock just wasnt cutting it. having more power and better suspenison is why i bought the 125. he is not interested in racing at the moment but i do want to get the suspension better than what it is now. after market shocks are just to much money for now. i can get the shock mounts relocated for free. friend is a welder. powder coating about $50.00
