I'm going all out lol. I just ordered stage 3 Elias front and back with lone star +2+1 a arms. As far the braking mechanism all I need is the calipers and hubs correct? Still deciding on an axle. How do I take advantage of the forum sponsors? Do they offer discounts off of the forum or they are just recommended to be used?

Yeah im hoping the engine I buy will be complete with stator if not I'll take your advice and buy used. I just ordered a bolt kit and every other bolt that wasnt included with that one. I really lack in experience with brake setups and suspension as far as the components needed. Can anyone help me out with that exactly i'll need to get this thing rolling. Obviously I know the basic big items but as far as the little things that might not be included in the kits.

Yeah well I'll worry about that when the time comes lol I think my plan is once I get the frame just post my budget every week and get some ideas from the forum members on what to get next. Id like to just build it as the parts come so I don't have shit laying around. So I guess we'll start now. Monday I'll have 1100 so where do you think I should start so once I get them they can just go right on the frame?

Well, where I live daily its technical woods trails(hills, tight trails), but atleast once a month I take a trip to the pine barrens and that's wide open sand. And as far as what engines I've been on, only stock. My goal for the engine would to have 2500 into it including the price of a used engine if thats possible.

Yeah the serval cub is a definite, going to save the motor for last or look around for a nice deal on a cheap motor since i'll be rebuilding it. Anything you suggest I buy used to save some cash?

Strictly a trail bike, obviously there were better option on the selection of bike but I've been a fan of the that 2 stroke smell for a long time. I was planning on doing what you said getting the frame off the ground my only concern is buying everything new is all the bolts and fittings from what I understand aren't included. I know they sell bolt kits but do they sell them that extensive? Also as I said it's going to be a trail bike so I was hoping on advice as far as what lengths for the swing arm and a-arms.

Hey everyone, new to the forum. Just started a my career so finally I have enough money to do something. I needed something to do over the winter months and if I bought a banshee knowing me I would've replaced every part on it anyways. So I decided to just build one from ground up. Just purchased a frame from eBay it will be here Friday. Reason I made this topic is because my mind is in scrambles on where to begin and was wondering if someone could just in their own opinion tell me where they would start and what to look out for. This will also be a build thread that will be updated frequently as I like to spend my money on ridiculous things. Thanks
