Nice job detailing man! I particularly like the various accessories - the bell is the icing on the cake lol

Good to see another mountain bike 'round here too - but don't tell nobody I said that

It almost looks too nice to ride!!
You might want to move the CDI to a different place where it won't get hot like that?

Actually the cdi works really well mounted on the motor, I've got an insulating pad underneath it and it is wrapped with aluminum heat tape, I just think it looks cleaner there...

The grips can be had at any local motorcycle shop, they cost me 20 bucks and are sized for 7/8 bars. The right one is oversized to fit your throttle tube. They are a little longer than stock ones.

when you say the right one is oversized. is like a one inch or what? what did you do with the origanal grip, cut the rubber part off? the reason I ask is because I'm so tired of my hands vibrating so much. thanks

even the original grip is oversized for the throttle tube, just slice the grip off with a razor blade and slip the new one on with a little water and dish soap.

You can even fight on regular-sized bike grips, provided they're the uber-squishy ones you'd want anyway. After runnin' the rock hard, kit supplied grips for a while I spent 1/2hr with some HOT soapy water and got my Schwinn grips on...

OMG - they're sooooo much better

For properly sized replacement grips - hairspray works ossum. Spray the bar and slide the grip on while it's still wet, when it dries it's goin' nowhere
