That kit will work for a while, but you will find yourself replacing parts (from the kit and damaged bike parts, caused by the kit). That transmission is a knockoff of the 4g, and you will find it much less reliable. If you buy the parts individually instead of getting the kit and upgrading as things break, it'll be cheaper in the long run. Get a ball bearing throttle, a good heavy duty mounting plate, a good tranny, a good rear wheel that takes disc or rim brakes (disc brake mount will be for the sprocket, so you will need rim brakes or use math to get the right tophat adapter). There are better gas tanks available than what comes in the kits. A suspension fork helps tons for bad roads, or off-roading. Get all your nuts and bolts from the hardware store, don't be cheap and get 12.9 grade for high torque spots.
Pay for it up front or pay for garbage and the good stuff later. Make sure you can stop before you go, brakes are your friend. Cheaping out can hurt (or kill you). One last note: remove or seriously brace your front fender, those things are dangerous.
