I've seen linkages both high and low.. don't think it actually makes much difference if the centre of the weights remain the same. Would change teh way it feels but thing the performace would be the same.
The tarler weight should be towards the bike .. this helpd keep the bike stable too. And helps in sand - keeps the front wheel light.. and you'll need more power to tow it through the sand .. keeping the front wheel lighter still.
The bearings .. yep not built for speed and wieght .. you could replace them with something bigger.. You could also add some suspension .. but that would add weight .. a swing arm on each side with a shock each side and you could have independant suspension .. weights more ..
Here you'd have to get it registered .. lights ... number plate .. and some money. People do have such things here, not built for dirt work they rattle to bits.
