Creative Engineering sprocket mount.
Spring loaded chain tensioner from Livefastmotors.
Heavy duty rear wheel and heavy duty front wheel with drum brake from Husky Bicycles.
Honda ATV lever and pedestal for clutch lever.
Those are the main ones anyway.
Edit: Oh yeah! I switched from the original 415 chain to #41 Roller chain. Much stronger!

Re: Upgrades and mods from stock
aside from from all the speed stuff my favorite mod (which i do on every bike ) is the "large filipino" clutch cable mod, makes the clutch pull like butter.

Re: Upgrades and mods from stock
I think a front disc brake is a must have! I don't have one (yet) on my bike and today I almost slid right in front of a car. The best mod to my bike has been the custom 2 person saddle. My girl fits it like a glove. I wish I could post pic's....

Re: Upgrades and mods from stock
The best upgrades I did to my Della Cruz was add front sus. forks, homemade sus. seat post,Husky 12g rear wheel and Normans light.
Also getting rid of the stock 415 chain and going to a Browning #41 chain

Re: Upgrades and mods from stock
Most guys get there #41 chain from Tractor Supply Company - Home
I get my chain in town from Bearing Belt and Chain
430 W 22nd St
Tucson, AZ 85713-1596
(520) 792-1231
You can check local go-kart/lawn shops for the #41
You can see the difference in quality Left stock Chain, Right #41
