I'm probably a day late, Pripyat moves quickly.but to put my 2 cents in... altering the shock points is not a good idea to lower the suspension. It effects the motor position and can effectively upset the float bowl settings. Plus reducing suspension travel. you wouldn't want the head striking the back of your seat. Fabbing some shackles to raise the swing arm pivot point is the way to go. Also shackles for the shock points too. This allows for experimentation of position with the option of returning to stock. Using a smaller diameter rear tire will alter the final gear ratio to give good pull out of tight turns with the ability to do the drift thing but overall lap times and top speed are greatly reduced. A tire with less aggressive tread pattern will accomplish the drift action without topping out motor rpms .This is a set of Duro's designed for flat track and TT courses. this is a set of 20's, the tallest their offered. Can't beat them in tight turns but couldn't keep up on the straights.
