Guys

What mods are there that I can apply to my 1976 CR125 chassis in order to increase suspension travel.

Front.
Is there a mod that I can apply to my forks to increase travel?
Do I just change the forks. If so what do you recommend and what modificarions, if any, would I have to consider to the steering head?

Rear.
Is there a trick swingarm out there that that I can utilise? (I dont want to alter my stock swingarm).

All help suggestions gratefully received.

thanks

Ruairi

I'm not to sure about the forks we used to put washers on top of the springs to preload them .Fox probably has some fork kits you can use.You might also check and see if forks off of a '77 or '78 model will fit without changing the rake on the front end.Works Performance makes some really good shocks as well as FMF,DG and fox racing.They should be able to help you find a swingarm that will help you.Good luck.
