Goto your local bike shop and get them to order pro tapers if they dont have them, then you dont have to pay for postage. Get a normal folding gearlever anywhere from ebay, normal length. Get a Unifilter as these are one of the best. Any grips will fit too, just get some decent sticky ones and DO NOT buy Vee-Rubbers, i bought some for my old agb-29 and a few knobs tore off first ride. I have also heard from others they have had the same problems as the tyres are extremely soft.

Get some Kenda Carlsbad tyres.

cheers mate..
how much do the pro tapers cost in the shops? and also wat are the called?
and how much do carlsbad tyres go for? and could i order them i form my moto shop aswell?

 

[PITBIKE_MULLISHA]

Kenda carlsbads are **** for wet weather and muddy on both settings
id be tempted to run carls on the front and bridgy on the rear

 

[geezus18]

wow this is gettin hard lol...well anyhtings better than my stock pieces of crap...there just over sized mountain bike tyres...i keep goin arse up in sand..and well everywhere, i just slide lol!

 

[mjc85]

Hmm don't listen to him, just go for hard tyres so they last longer. They still go fine in mud or wet or anything else for that matter and the Pro Tapers are called 7/8 (Seven Eighths)

 

[geezus18]

thanks everyone!

 

[mechanic-man]

pro tapers are 80 bucks i think or around that.

 

[geezus18]

well so far ive bought some renthal mx/enduro medium compund grips, the pro tapers should come in today, the uni filter should come in today, and i completly forgot about the tyres so ill have to ask about em next time i go in...i also wanted to know what people think of the millville tyres? or are carlsbad the way to go? i ride on a lot of snady, loose dirt. im also buyin some chain lube and a new spark plug........so far ive spent just over $170...not a cheap sport lol, and theres still the tyres to come!

 

[mjc85]

i also wanted to know what people think of the millville tyres? or are carlsbad the way to go? i ride on a lot of snady, loose dirt.QUOTE]

Millville will be ok if your just riding sandy and loose stuff, but if you ride them on bitumen, cement or hard rocks they won't last very long. I prefer hard tyres as then i can ride on anything and know im not wearing them too much.

 

[geezus18]

ok i better go for the carlsbad then...what do they retail for?

 

[geezus18]

ive got all my stuff and im really happy with it, exept one thing! i bought a front brake set up on ebay for my pit bike and i received a brake set up for a 4 WHEELER wtf! the auction clearly said dirt bike front brake! ohh well ive givin the seller **** and hopefully ill get my money back or swao it.

 

[binky77]

[michelin man]
