Glad your enjoying the bike! remember all the things you learned along the way and stay on top of the maintenance. This way you can caryy on the "Black Art" of 2 stroke tuning!

Glad to help!

Paint is cheaper but powder coating is more durable. Even so powdercoating the frame should cost more than 100 dollars if that.

Why buy a bottom end. Fix the one you have by replacing the output shaft. It is easy.
