 Hey Coop,
 I'm pretty sure I have a clutch perch, I'll check my stock tommorrow .   (wed 14)      It looks like that bike has a front disk, is that right?
  I guess what I'm asking is do you need a brake lever or the whole brake master and lever?

Front and rear are both drums. But Friar you don't have to do that, I am worried this thread is starting to look like I am just trying mooch parts, LOL.

Starting to look like a bike. Luckily I was able to spin the shock reservoir down to miss the pipe but still also be clear of the shock. I need to figure out something for the silencer mount. If I use the mounting points on the frame and silencer, the silencer just goes into the pipe. If I fully fit the silencer into the pipe, it is about 1.5" too short to reach the frame mount. Maybe a short tab with two holes drilled, think that will be stiff enough? That or maybe bolt it to the frame, but use a short section of heater hose and two clamps to seal the lose pipe/silencer joint. I also need to get a pipe spring, the one from the stock pipe is too long, it hooks on with no tension, LOL. I think I'd like to find a sticker that says "60" to put where my brother stuck that green/black "KX" sticker. The wheels will be on tonight or tomorrow, then it's just get a couple of perches and it's done. The front tire has some cracks in it, but has been holding air since yesterday. So I am using it for now. I am excited to hear it run. I could start it now, but I want to wait until it's rolling.

I like your short tab, bolted together better than the hose...

I think I do too. I'll make them later or tomorrow. Thanks again man, that pipe is going to work great and look really nice.

Had to bead blast and paint the pipe before sending it.   It looked too rough.    Maybe you can polish the pro circuit tag on the pipe.  It'll be trick looking then...

I would say it's 97% finished. I need to remove a link or two from the chain and install it, adjust the brakes, slap on a clutch perch & lever, tighten the kill switch, polish the PC plate on the pipe like ThrottleJunky suggested, add fluids and that's about it. All small stuff. Once it's "officially" done, I'll use the camera and take some nicer pictures.

It's done! Started second kick, my nephew Zach is a witness, LOL. Followed the break in warm up and rode it easily around the yard a couple laps. It is very loud! I am going to repack the silencer tomorrow. Clutch cover gasket is also leaking a little and the shifting is sticky, you have to push the shifter down a 1/2" or so and then it will shift up into the next gear. I will have the clutch cover off tomorrow anyway so I will be able to check out the shifter mechanism. Zach insisted on the numbers, I don't like them. But it's not my bike so as long as Nick does it's all good. I have a bunch of stickers here, I am letting Nick decide which ones he wants on it and where. I will be sure to post pictures once he first see's it. Hopefully that's tomorrow.

I was finally able get to Nick up here tonight and I gave him the bike. It will stay here in my garage, because honestly I don't trust my brother not to sell it when he gets broke. Nick loved the bike. At first he couldn't start it, but he got the hang of it. I let him go through my sticker "collection" and he put quite a few on the bike, LOL. No riding tonight, but hopefully soon.
