HELLO, I am going to order a new 80 cc premium from dax (Duane) and a new stretch cruiser from ebay.Can anyone tell me what extra I will need. Will the throtthe cable be long enough for the ape hanger bars, clutch cable long enough, and the chain? Any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Depending on where you mount the motor you will need two chains and possibly two tensioners. Chain slap is a factor with the stretch frames. Throttle cable should work fine with apes (forward mounted engine). Clutch cable is an easy fix.

also, i suggest the greenline stretch cruiser. they seem to be less problematic in the long run. you can check out the pictures of my bike, it may give you some ideas
