I ordered a bunch of little parts:
-New NGK spark plug
-NGK spark plug wire
-PWJDM pegs
-Damn bulbs for my kijima turn signals, since they are JDM only
-fuel filter kit
-Main jet/Slow jet kit
-and am bidding on a POSH CDI, with 10.5k limit

And am really on the fence about getting a larger Carb...

So... I completely stripped the front frame in anticipation of the new one coming in the mail... eventually.

Getting the ignition bolts out was a terror! I ended up slashing them with a Dremel and pulling them out with a flat screwdriver.

Then I go to pull out the axle bolt only to find out the shit is bent... fuck.

So then, I throw the wheel on a wooden dowel and spin it.... wobble, wobble, fuck.

^^ That is Gods way of saying Upgrade time...

But stock wheels are usually really cheap, so you shouldnt have to much of a problem finding them.

I haven't taken off the rear wheel yet, but I guess I probably should.

EDIT: I also relocated my front turn signals to the "reflector position" last night, looks much better IMO. I also cleaned, primed, and painted my frame extension blocks

If I get aftermarket wheels, do I have to do a disc brake conversion? I don't want to, shit looks expensive.
