OK people,

How do you make the stock front end narrower for GNCC racing??
Like from 50" to 48", I could have sworn I read something but cant find it or maybe it never existed,,

Thanx for the info. I know there is after market stuff out there. I thought i read you can make front end smaller, but its the rear end you can make smaller not front. My friend races mx & was looking for a quick fix for the front.

i added it up you need to spend $2,385 on suspension and a-arms. That doesn't include an axle. if I could afford it I would get one:D

Yea but i was talkin mx now. Which is my fault. Deff to wide for GNCC, however a mx pro might run this weekend if he can get his elka's dialed in, with a 50" front

Switch to 4:1 rims and I think you lose like 2in or so. Thats probably the cheapest way to get skinnier.

Bingo.....my bike is 50" wide and not to mention 3 inches longer than stock and I have no problems ripping through the woods and tight trails. I am not saying that it is ideal for the woods, definitely not, but it can be done.
