minibike mods?

[02mx-5]

I was wondering if anyone has modified there minibikes at all. Im not talking about the engine, everyone does that. I want to see if anyone modded the frame or forks. Has anyone found a way to add front suspension to any of the bikes?

How exactly would you use those to make front suspension?

Hmmm, im still interested in how to do that if your still around. Anyway, i think im picking up one of those tractor supply mini baja/warrior mini bikes used for $250. Does anyone have one of these bike o any good pics? Just wanted some more angles of it and possible mods before i go check it out.

front ends fall into two general categories: telescopic and springer. telescopic is the new term for oleo struts. while springer can be coilovers mounted in a cantilever fashion or the harley style of two springs fo bound and two for rebound. the springer is by far the simplest in function. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_(motorcycle) for oleo's.
http://www.axiomcycles.com/pages/item/items.asp?itemsection=140 for springer. there are springer that use leaf springs, and other methods. there are a few bicycles that use a shock dampened front end: lowriders, moutain bikes.
