Order of mods... stock -> race ready?

[tants]

what do you guys suggest of order of making my stock 250r (or any stock quad) to race ready? first off i started with suspension..
here is my list of what order im getting parts.
1) shocks (elka tripple rate ssd) *on order
2) aarms (hsd +2+1 red aarms w/ chrome top) *on order
since its winter i decided to do a rebuild...
3) guessest and powdercoat
4) axle (any suggestions?)
5) rear shock revalve for my weight
6) tires
7) nerfs, bumbers, grabbar, kill switch, etc.
8) plastics, graphics, touch ups, etc. etc.

think this is the best way?

yeah, that's a good order to do stuff in.. get a LSR axle

Sounds like a nice front end set up. A pro must have recommended it.
Axle, get an RPM, no questions asked.
Nerfs, AC pro peg or similar pro peg.
rear shock, Quad shop mac daddy conversion.
fenders, race cut. (save looks for last, performance first, looks wont make u faster!!)
AC XC (wide) Grab bar....comes in handy if ya get stuck in mud.
Pro design tether kill switch.
I like the AC stadium bumpers (good spot for a # plate)
grips-Oury, great for isolating vibes
and Bars- Tag's T2 or X5, both are good, but I prefer T2 fat bars.
Tires, tamers on beadlocks (18x9.5x8)
Radials up front.

i dont plan on riding in the mud... they look kind of funny.
and do you have a pic of the stadium bumper? doesnt it reduce airflow to radiator because of the number plate...?

well if youre gonna be racing, I can guaran-d@mn-tee there will be mud, buddy, and I know for a fact they make movin it around a LOT easier. And the stadium bumpers come w/ drilled # plates.

racing mx in the mud is retarted, it sucks , u go slow and it messes ur quad up, the day i race in the mud will be the day nacs gives me freequads and maintains em

what kind of riding are you doing and whats the terrain like ? that tire setup isn't good for everything

[stocktires]

get that rear shock set for more than just your weight.

Get an 89 lenght swingarm. Switching to an 89 chassis was the best thing I ever did!
My quad is now almost completely an 89 R.
Make sure your brakes are in really good shape and everything is maintained meticulousy (sp?) cuz MX puts a serious beating on quads.
I'd say wait a few weeks for the Holeshots MXR tires!
And ya shoulda got an LT front end

don't go with a stock rear shock conversion, i've blown mine like 3 times and they don't perform to great compared to the fronts. Since i've gotten a new rear shock its made a huge differance.

Well anyone who races will tell ya, there are muddy days. Sometimes the track gets overwatered and stuff. So dont expect to stay clean racing.
