Also, if I decided to do everything my self how hard would it be to do the clutch mods and reed cage mod? What pipe and carb would you recommend? How much should I port the exhaust and intake ports? How much should I shave my head? If I ported it would you recommend making "windows" in the piston? What gearing would you recommend? and what parts should I get?

Any help is appreciated
How hard?.... I'll explain it like this.
Once I bought a $175 porting motor and handpieces, I figured out that I needed a $350 right angle handpiece. (And those prices was 15 years ago) Next I needed the bits and sandpaper.
Hey, Now I need a $200 el-cheapo band saw.
The wife asked if I could make some money now. I told her that I needed a lathe. Course, you need a full compliment of goodies for the lathe.
So to answer, if you got all that stuff....It's very easy..LOL

I recommend a stock carb.
I don't window pistons. Testing on my motors didn't show any differences. I can do it tho if it makes the customer feel better.
Gearing depends on mods and tire size. Stock or 1 up on the front sprocket is what's usually recommended.
Please email for options and prices.

Don't pay no attention to beernut. Next this henpeckedredneckfromky and a 95wolv will pop in.
It's the same guy with multiple personalitys. And not good personalitys either.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
