Yeah mate certainly does but there is still so much on my wish list.. haha. I have been looking at valve covers for a while but the Fast 50s covers are so expensive and shipping to Aus is insane, I do like the look of the TB vavle covers though.

Very nice!
How did you polish up your ignition cover dude?

Just used paint stripper to start of with and just used a polishing disk on a bench grinder, I wouldn't attempt it buy hand unless you have a lot of spare time. lol

I've got a fast 50s hub but I just need a 12" black front rim and hd spokes. I intend on getting a fast 50s billet wheel for the rear. The dress up kit was from mingin it was a mismatch but I like the black cause I want to break the red up a bit.

I just got a set of TB valve covers, I can only install the top valve cover though cos the bash plate is to close to the engine to fit it in properly. I also got a Fast50s HD peg mount with no kick stand mount, its going to be a bit annoying to not have a stand but the big was on a 45 degree lean anyways.





I am also organising the following parts next month to upgrade my 88cc RH

• AHP Four Speed Transmission
• TB Heavy Duty Auto Clutch Kit -Billet Housing Upgrade
• TB Stroker Kit 2
• TB Allen Head Bolt Kit
• TB Oil Cooler Kit 2

I figure while I have the case split installing the stroker I might as well install the 4 speed trans and upgrade the clutch housing so that I can run a IRC in the future. I was looking at the 117cc kit but I don't want to go to the trouble of having my case bored out and also don't want to have to much trouble in the future with running an auto clutch. Does any one have any have any experiance with using larger carbs with stock frames, does the tank need to be spaced up in order for it to fit?

 

[Gerro]

Just installed my new two brothers swing arm

 

[TomaszBurcon]

bike is looking sweet mate and want to sell me that bottom valve cover since it doesnt fit your bike?

 

[Gerro]

A few new snaps..

Going to install my TB 108cc stroker, 4 speed trans and billet clutch basket next week!! I also have some Two Bros tank risers and a Lightspeed tank gaurd on the way..
