Bill Blue 350 kit with a stock bike
#51
This past weekend I pulled the front end off and cleaned up the head bearings, and re-greased them real good. That took care of a little bit of trouble I was having in the steering. As it came from Thailand, they were not over greased, that's for certain.
I installed my heated grips, that is a sweet deal to have a couple of differnt heat settings. I can ride in 50F weather with unlined deerskin gloves. The handguards breaking a little bit of wind plus the grips is all it needs.
Had some good luck finding a new tire that matches the Kenda 50/50 rear. I'm running the rear K270 4.60-18
It's matching Kenda 50/50 front is junk.
But this new tire is great, street or dirt.
K776F 90/90-21.

Thanks, please post it when you have a good figure. I am ready to make a purchase, but im not sure which kit would be the best for my situation. I am keen to the 350 kit, but want to make sure I wont NEED a larger tank, or to carry fuel bottles.

It's going to be warm in a couple of days, I'll go out and roll up some miles, and get some numbers for you on the gas mileage with stock pipe and carb.
