This is now my 4th bike build and I wanted to show everyone as I go to get feedback. I was unhappy with my results on my last 3 builds. Also, I've found this forum to be a really helpful, friendly and informative community, anyway here it goes. So in excitement, I impulsively purchased the HD 2 stroke shifter kit at sickbikeparts.com I know now I wasnt fully processing that this kit is not a "jackshaft" which is fine because ultimately I didn't want the "jackshaft kit", i was wanting a "shift kit" that idea is really awesome to me. Luckily, even though i misunderstood I got the right kit,(i think). I got my "shifter kit" in the mail today. This is my 4th bike build I'm starting. I've had a blast with the other 3 builds. Thank you all to anyone that has helped answer my questions. This is the bike that I'll be installing the shifter kit on along with a new motor kit I already had. I'm undecided about which of the two handlebars to put on it. Well thanks again everyone. I really value your feed back.

Okay. I did that because one of the guides I was reading recommended it. I thought it was weird

Status update, I switched out the handle bars and I mounted the gas tank to the bike seat tube via a seat tube cargo rack mount.

So I just noticed I had these left over from the shifter kit. They are not mentioned at all in the guide. So idk where they go. But everything seems to be functional. Can anyway help me?

I finished it. I just gotta test it out tomorrow. I put front disk brakes on as well.

The extra parts are a bottom bracket adapter in case you had an American style bottom bracket. You don't so it's extra parts.

The carb looks pretty angled in the pic. Might be better in real life. It may work but if not you may have to adjust the float tang a little. Nice bike by the way. Wish i had one just like it

Yeah it is pretty angled. If it doesn't work how do I do the adjustment? Is there a guide you can reccomend? I'm about to test it out now so I'll let let you know soon. & thanks. I enjoy building these. It's almost therapeutic for me. Lol I have enough parts and bikes to build another. I'll post pics of the 4 bikes I've built shortly
