    A few questions

    Ok so after putting a winch on my trike the front went down a little bit more, now i wanna know how i could get it to lift up more, what oil do i use inside the forks to give the front a little bit stiffer bounce to it.

    Also i would love to put some disk brakes on my sx in the front while keeping the 25x11x10 wheels i saw someone has used 200x forks with the sx tree, will that work right or do i have to mod anything.

    There are a few ways you can raise that wheel a little more. I'm not sure if you can make it stiffer without swaping forks or adding springs. To raise the wheel, you can go as far as hitting the throttle and that should raise it some. If you pop the clutch, it should raise it to anywhere you may want it, and then some

    If you want better suspension and disk brakes your best bet is to just convert to a 200x front end . I have most of it when your ready to do it .

    Couldn't use the big tire: (. And the X front will give you headshake at high speeds on some,,perfect on others. I would scrounge around for a Terry kit,or stiffer springs..Wait a minute,,I may still have access to a kit, I will check for ya.
