Here's a built which is still in progress w/ some highlights below: Lost build thread on TR. Original when purchased used : 2004 Honda Metropolitan w/ 100 miles.  Pulled motor and installed motor modded w/ eruo FI 4-valve Ruckus Head. FI hole filled in to accept Carb.     New bars, TB Exhaust.  NB50Gears  its ~ 52MPH. @ < 8000RPM Sluggush w/ these gears. Will swap back to Met gears. 4-Valve has a lot more torque. |

I still have a long way on the tune. I think I went too far, too fast with the gearing. Winter in the 'burgh now so a bit more difficult to GET out. 1st build hit 60mph b/f I got heavy w/ the 12x7 rear.

Now that you have the new bars on, I'd love to see what the gap between the plastics looks like. If I remember, you are running a Zen Kustomz adapter, and I'm trying to decide if I'm going that route or not.

Thanks Happy! Looks like I'll be picking up the Zen (I was hoping to do without, but it seems like the extra height it absolutely necessary).

You'll need to mod the size of the zen nut hole to fit the mnnthbx stem if u go that way. Just a bit of sanding is needed

Or get mnnthbx neck and bars

(fatkid, you need an avatar!)
make sure you look at the size of all the stuff you want to work together. for example, I know the JDM neck (and clones) have a different bolt pattern and support bars with a bigger diameter than mnnthbx. The mnnthbx is more BMX sized. The JDM style is all big for those handlebars that hang back.
I tired to put a trail tech device on using a mount that bolts on to the neck, but it was expecting a JDM style neck and wouldn't fit on the mnnthbx neck I had. So now I got a mount I can't use.
