I ended up finding a pretty good deal on a new Tav2 comet clone. Just installed it the other day.
Couple other things I'm gonna do before spring, and riding time, comes back around. But I gotta wait for the parts to get here.
-replacing stock muffler box with a highflow 2 stage header
-replacing stock air filter box assy with a highflow K&N open element(gonna put a sock on when its dusty out)
-a bigger jet and better emulsion tube for the carb
All these mods are on my bike. All I've done and will do to SO's bike is replaced the jackshaft bearings. Gonna keep her stock for awhile longer, bike is plenty to handle as it is.
