More selectable bike parts?

I'm not sure if this has been suggested or not, but I think it would be pretty cool to have more selectable/changeable bike parts, not just rims. (Ex. bars, pipes, tires, grips, etc.). It would be included in the bike setup section from the menu like wheels are now. Not sure how this would go over though, since as more parts would be released it would kind of kill interest/support of the people that actually release and make skins. Just an idea though, what do you guys think about it?

First should be ........selectable separate rider parts - googles,helmets,braces,racewear,boots,myb chest prot.

I honestly don't know why this isn't in the game.

Have you seen the problems that we run into with the neck on a helmet not matching a rider model perfectly? Imagine that with everything on the rider.

I've never ran into this problem? I understand it would be a huge problem with googles.
Unless you could lock parts to models. Obviously each model would need its separate skin.

yea wish we could atleast just start with boots being separate or something. Pipes would be freaking amazing as well.

Pipes would be so sick to be able to change silencer/header combos like rough finishes vs. plated, shorty silencers etc... and maybe just different color options for things like bars so that its not like they wouldn't line up if you wanted to change it

to be 100% honest, i think skinners to a good enough job with crap like that and that you would run into to many issues with models not matching up because they are all mods and arnt designed on spec. However that being said, i think that idea would be awesome for after market performance parts, like transmissions,pipes,pistons,etc... but then i would think you would have to end up with a cash system in the game to make it fun, which would kind of seem like over kill for mxs.

You took it a little far on the pipe idea. Cant we just ask to start with small changes?

we should really just start off with just being able to change things on your rider separtaly like change gloves, change boots, change goggles and so on.

Yea I got a little excited haha, but yea if this happened we would have to start with small changes and just build up from small things.

Nah that would be too hard. You'd be better off if you could change boots, as it would be the easiest.
Each set of googles would have to relate to each helmet or you would end up with goggles that fit on one helmet and are barely visible on another.
With that said there would be sooooo many kids asking whats wrong, unless there was a .info file linked to the helmet and goggles.
Possibly Neck braces as well, keep in mind a fair amount of extra work would be needed by you guys before this was usable.

at least i suggested somthing thats somewhat possible. Asking for custom boots and bars are next to impossible, considering the cosmetics are custom models. unless you completely seperate gear, but then it would still have the possibility to get messed up. giving that all the display stuff is mods, you would pretty much make it so that two different artist wouldn't work together. so when you think about it. my suggestions are smaller then yours, all you have to do is change a few numbers here and there for the part. not completely redesign the whole skin system in the game.

Can you explain to me how changeable pipes is easier then changeable boots?
I don't think it would be all that much different really.
The boots would have the same origin as the rider, but it would be assigned to the legs.
Pipe would have the same origin as the frame and would be assigned to the frame.
Obviously they would need there own textures.

easy, while all of your skins would have to either match up, or the whole community would have to come together and use 1 model. and it still wouldnt be perfect because again, this would be 100% mods. While with changeable performance parts the number would simply just change in the code (im not saying its the easiest thing in the world, because idk what the variables look like for mxs). It would be similar to changing your front and rear sprocket, only with different effects for the different parts. However unless you put big bores in, this really wouldn't be that big of a difference to worry about putting into the game ASAP. but it would be a cool idea in the future.
