Today I mocked her up with the kickstarter, shifter, wiring harness, headers, Ceru's battery, and a beer bottle full of gas (not dangerous at all....). Filled her with oil, and had to give her a few kicks, and SHE LIVES!!!!! And she sounded good to! Totally surprised by this,  and she rev'ed up nice and smooth too. Very stoked about this. The P.O. mentioned that he couldn't get her to run smoothly, guess that's what a good carb clean can do!

So now I get to tear it down again, and start on the little things. I feel justified in ordering some parts, and starting to really clean her up. Still debating ordering those pipes, not %100 sure the angle of the headers will line up. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? If the angle of the new headers is "slightly" off, will the head bolts just pull them into place anyways? I know the engines on these 2 bikes are similar, just not exact. I suppose at worst I could cut the muffler off, and run two strait pipes with drag baffles in (the bike isn't loud even with headers only).

Pretty excited about this build, little bikes are a lot o fun. Now I am looking into capacitors. I'm sure someone will understand what I am attempting to do next...
