[QUOTE="kawahonda, post: 161844, member: 9759"] Awesome responses guys, I really appreciate it. This is a big help. What I would think to do if I went with a stroker, is to buy the lower compression piston. Do you know what my expected compression would be with the TB crank and that lower compression piston with the stock head? My goal is under 10.1:1 because I want to keep this thing really street-able. So with the TB crank that Kirby listed (i'd look for the crank only), and the DRATV low compression piston, I'd be able to get the eBay 6v CDI and be on my merry way (and confirming that the TB HV pump has the correct skinny rod). Is this correct? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like the stroker kit, while being a fantastic bang-for-the-buck, there's no guarantee on how well the motor is going to stay cooled, and there's no guaranteed on reliability. So if I choose to ride this thing let's so, at a sustained 45 MPH for 10 minutes or so, I probably should expect to sweat a little bit more (and monitor my oil temp). Maybe it just goes back to my performance goal. My goal is simply to make this faster, or at parity to a CT90. A healthy CT90 will hold a cruise speed of 45 in most situations on pavement. Currently, I have the DRATV BB Kit, mini-monster cam, and a refreshed stock head, and the Ebay CDI kit. Tires are going to be unknown at this point, may go with the wings, or may go with a street tire. I'm willing to do anything I can with the stock air canister, as long as I keep the stock canister installed. Obviously will plan to optimize the gearing. I have no problem using a Mukini 19mm carb if necessary, either, if a 88cc requires a carb-up. It could be that maybe I don't need a stroker to achieve what I'm looking for. And if 45MPH cruise is all I need, it may be better to save $200 and to enjoy more peace of mind from a reliability standpoint? [B]At any rate, if you guys feel that a stroker crank is a must in order to meet my goals, and if reliability is not really a concern, then based on what I have already, feel free to keep sending me links of what I need to successfully pull this off.
