thanks alot guys.. the bike has lots of nice stuff on it, but then had crappy cables, grips, and just small stuff.. its funny what people will spend money on, but never replace a clutch cabler or lever, or what ever... ill have new pics up this coming week..

Sweet bike. Get it dialed in and let it rip!
BTW what is the piece coming off the seat bolt mount area and going back to the fender? Sorry for me ignorance :wink:

 :lol: :lol: :lol: ... we will see also the dark side of the moon..  :wink:

your seatcover should be tighter setted to the foam.
 but on the first look, you got a good deal with it.
replace the worn cables and levers and you should think about a straight rear fender mod, like on "motorrads" bike. that would be finish in an amazing look  :wink:

Very nice looking machine. Don't scratch the vinyl :P
It's hard to keep a drivers license riding a 2 stroke dirt bike on the street.  If you drive within the law they are VERY boring.

guys im working on that seat cover now... its been kicking my butt.. never had one this agravating..

i just did a piston and ring in it last week, its still on the stock bore and the plating looked good.. yall wouldnt believe how bad the power valves were.. there is no way they were able to move... all fresh now, next time she will get new plating and port work and compression..
