does anyone feel "wierd" about replacing stock parts on your 50 with aftermarket stuff? im not sure how to explain it, but in ways I want to keep my stock pipe on instead of adding a pro circuit.. I hate mix-matching things, too.. so far everything I have bought is from fast 50s (bars, clamp, seat cover, foam, shifter, foot pegs) and now im buying a pro circuit pipe.. It makes it feel like my 50 isn't "right" anymore and that I should get the fast50 pipe, but I don't really like it..

also, does anyone feel like the purpose of having a 50 is to keep it fairly stock? sometimes I think about it and wish I could afford two of them.. One that I would keep stock except for some basic mods (bars/footpegs/shifter), and one that I would use as a race bike.. for some reason buying tall seat foam and all that just doesn't make it seem as cool as a regular 50 since it's so small.. adding a big bore obviously adds to the fun factory, on the track, but when your just cruising the streets it almost seems like it wouldn't be as cool..

I probably sound stupid, so maybe I've lost it just let me know if any of you have thought the same thing before..

 

Nope!

Thinking just the opposite... Going to get all the mods I can get my hands on and that my wallet and my conscience will allow...

That's whats so cool. That you CAN mod such a small bike with real racing stuff...


Yeah, I'm a poser...

I was riding mine sunday and swapped with a buddy who has one that is stock except for the big bars. His felt like a cadilac compared to mine .

 

Yeah, you do :devil

 

D&D offers a pipe for the Z and XR fiddies adding about 5 to 7 hp

 

I suppose that should be 0.5 and 0.7 considering that not even a bigbore 88CC entrylevel kit produces that kind of horsepower...

Thanks for clearing that up my Swedish friend.

I was a bit puzzled at that myself... I thought to myself - "hmmm, can I really triple my horsepower with one lil' old pipe?"

 

Well... If I'm wrong, sign me up for one! Heck! I'll buy two pipes so I'll get 10-14hp increase....

I like mine stock. maybe if I rode a modified one I would change my mind so that is why I won't ride a modified one.

 

silly cracka leave the crack for the addicts :-))



oh and p.s. a 88 kit does have 5.8 hp but it doesn't add 5.8 it just ups the stock 2.5 to the 5.8.

 

well, really, thats the whole point i want a fifty, so i don't trash something expensive...lol

 

This is the dumbest thread i have ever wasted time reading. Hey joka didn't you already sell all of your parts from your fitty? Didn't you want like $10,000 for your home made skid plate?
