Has anyone here experience with a street build on a cannondale frame?
I'm searching for Shocks, width axle, width a-arms.....

I have a cannondale with ktm engine wich I use only on the streets at this moment.
It has the Moto rear axle and Moto a-arms. On the front I use stock "speed" ohlins, wich lowers the front of the quad since the a-arms are made for long travel shocks.
On the rear I just screwed the adjuster ring all the way up to lower the quad.
In this video I had rear shocks on the front, but those were to stiff. Changed them for the speed ohlins again, gives about the same ride height.

because i've seen your Cannondale before on Yt .....very nice
I have the same Lc4 Engine in mine ,only the newer 2005 high flow Version
Meanwhile i found a Guy in Germany (i'm from Germany too) ,who will build me a Custom Setup with Attackshox Coilovers
Moto Parts are very hard to find these Days i guess ?!
Is the rear Axle widther on the Moto ?
Are you happy with this Setup on the Streets ?

For a street build an aftermarket axle or wheel spacers would work fine.

The Moto axle is indeed wider. An aftermarket axle or wheelspacers would also work.
I actualy use a Moto axle and wheelspacers, since I have ITP ss rims wich are 1 inch narrower then the oem itp aloy rims.
This brings the total width to 50 inch.
I love the setup on the street. I have driven many different quads on the street but so far none drove as good as my setup. No problem doing 120km/h with 1 hand on the handlebars.
With the power the lc4 engine has it is best to go with the highest gearing possible, I have a 17T sprocket on the front and a 36T on the rear.
At this moment I am experimenting with different front tires but have not had time to test drive.
If you want some more power from the engine I have some tips.
