hey here is the link to the motor:
http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/c.885035/n.1/it.A/id.1031/.f
While the motor is expensive let me tell you it is worth every penny....I also highly recommend the clutch saver springs, they will save you alot of time and effort down the road.
link for springs:

Oh!
I almost forgot I blew out the original clutch springs........put the clutch saver springs in and the motor runs much quieter and smoother.
Other then that the motor has run like a charm, keeping in mind that i only ride a few miles each day.

OK, now that every part of the instillation is done I would like to improve the bikes performance. It goes plenty fast but I would like to make the bike more stable at high speeds and beef up all of the friction drive mounting (enough to make it suitable for small amounts of off-roading)
So, any suggestions?
(As always any insight is greatly appreciated)

Ok, well I've put quite a few miles on this set up so far and everything is holding up just fine, surprisingly enough the rear tire holding up just fine
I love going 45mph on it, but the bike is really shaky at that speed and I want to beef up the mounting so I can cruise at 40mph, right now it cruises very well at 30-35. Im getting a front disc-brake and a high performance v-brake for the back as well as a double wall rim for the front.
I moved the gas tank to a better place as well.
I feel like the shakiest part of the bike is the fork...

If most of your riding is on the street, you'd do well to put on a pair of street slicks. They take a lot of the shake out and you'll be amazed at how smooth they ride.
