Hey was going on buddy. Just wanted to know where did you get the rim trim. Been looking but don't know where to find. Can you point it out to me where to buy. By the way nice looking decals. Sweet looking ride for 35 miles.

Let us know about that nitrous kit. How much HP is it good for on this tiny motor? I might want to try that out.

I am going to run a dry 30 shot, I have everything I need except the time to do the install. The wiring is going to be a pita, but worth it once it's done.
