Yesterday was a very busy day (and today was the final touches). I kinda went a bit overboard on the ruckus.
- mojo 10" extension
- Douglas 12x8 with 140/70/12 viper strike
- plastidipped the frame black, rear frame, battery box etc white
- new fuel lines, rear brake cable, throttle cable
- rrgs piggyback rear shock (copy)
- ruck shop intake w/ uni filter
- re jetted and shimmed the carb
- MNNTHBX gp exhaust
- MNNTHBX lightweight pegs
- MNNTHBX rear sets
- MNNTHBX sigg coolant tank
- MNNTHBX dorf seat frame
- MNNTHBX intake bracket
- MNNTHBX kickstand (modified)
- r6 led rear light w/ sequential turn
- custom stainless rear fender
- relocated trail tech vapor
I'd post pics but I'm on my iPhone... But this beast is loud as fuck. Gained about 10km/h but haven't messed with the roller weights yet. I notice it idles really low (almost stalling) when it starts up from cold. I assume it's running too rich. But once it warms up its fine. If I adjust the idle screw at the carb, it idles fine (cold) but once warned up it shoots up to ~4000 rpm. I cannot locate my mixture adjustment screw on my carb. I swear I'm not a fool but cannot find it for the life of me.

I bought it for 2 grand, but It had a bunch of recent maintenance like new tires, oil, coolant, belt, and a few mods like ncy gas tank cover and frame, trail tech vapor, and pollini variator etc.
A stock one runs about 2 grand used, and I've put on about $1700 or so in parts on it. Doing the work myself. To build my bike from a stock one would cost just over 4k I'd say

closest thing I found : Chris Products (604) 888-8700 from Greater Vancouver Powersports
2nd one down. Other than that i looked at Thibault and motovan, nothing fits the small criteria.
hope that helps.
