Default Grown man's lt 80

Hello all,

new to the fourm, but I'm starting to get into build lt80s. I just got finished with my klx projects so it's time to add some mini quads to the collection. For starters: I'm new to the two stroke game everything I've owned before was four strokes. Also I'm 6,4 215 pounds and I want to ride the hell out of it.

So what im looking for is best modifications I can make to make this quad the best thing ever , money isn't and issue as I will spend it over time, I just want the best of the best. If you can also list locations of where I can find parts and services would be great.

what I think I'm going to want:

front wheel spacers
extened a arms
front and rear suspension
bead locks
all motor work and including clutches
extended swing arm
axle
chains and sprockets for riding trails and going up hills
nerf bars
bumpers
skid plates
exhaust
electrical
oil delete

and anything else you think that would really need put this quad

thanks! Looking forward to learning more

Forget it, and buy a grown man's Quad. If you go for an old one, there are lots of two strokes to chose from. I know a good LT80 is great to ride, the simplicity etc, but it is too small for you, and making the frame big enough makes it heavier. The engine being the swinging arm is a weak spot too, children break the cases, 215 pounds is too much for it.

Thanks but let me re phrase that I am building one I just wanted tips on best parts and shops. I've taken my stock one out on several riding trips now, and she's held up quiet fine just trying to have a more fun on a mini.
