Question Mod Cateye or get cag??


okay i have a stock cateye (midbike) and it goes 27 MPH. i was wondering if i should make my cateye faster with mods or if i should get a cag to mess around with (for a stuntin bike)?? if i get a cag i will stunt with the cag (wheelies,stoppies,no hands, ect...) and keep the cateye all nice and clean and this will be my bike to impress people with. i can get a ff cag for 160ish. and a hf for 140ish. so mod CATEYE or buy ff cag?? The thing is i only have $30 so i will get a cag in 1 month or so (iam only 12 and have NO job)

1. sell the cateye
2. Get a cag
3. Get a helmet
4. clean your room

Your probably not going to get the performance you want for a stunting bike from bolt-on parts for your CatEye. So if your serious about learning to stunt, starting with a smaller (much lighter) bike is a good start.

You may find that the stock cag isn't stunt/race ready out of the box either...

My .02: Never Sell!!! Collect as many toys as you can! AND If you really want a fun little bike to stunt on, save your money a little longer and get a 50cc dirt bike.

If u sell ur cateye u should be able to get a second gen hf for under 200 it should come stock with a bbk & will wheelie for u no problam.It will give u
more than enough speed to pull off stopies. I got mine for under 180.00.
If ur cateye is in good condition u can can definitly get 200.00 for it.

Throw that cateye in the trash can, lol sell it get $200, get a half fairing, I would get a used 2nd gen thats in good running condition for $100, and then you can save up a bit, get a bbk or 4 petal and that will give you a huge amount of low end if you bike doesnt have bbk on it...good luck

x7's have 49cc engines. yah x7 stock has about 35 MPH in it. i went that fast on my friends (hot wheel speedo) i really want a cag. i was talkin to my mom and she was like "just buy cateye parts and then when we move to our new houes (royal oaks.... where all the RICH *** PEOPLE LIVE) then ask dad. dad is very mad right now"

so i will mod my cateye and then get a cag later. i think i will get a hf cag becasue ff cags are harder to get to the engine (so it seems) and i hate having to take of my fairings on my cateye to tune my carb.is 160 ish a good deal for a cag??

ya its a great deal, where u getting urs? harwin? ffcags arnt that much harder to take the fairing off. cateye on the other hand is a pain. probably because of the weight and amount of screws and stuff.

In my oppinon the L7 is still a much better bike than the hf and I have both. take a look in my gallery. I have a pic of my l7 without the fairing on and it looks pretty mean. Thats how i ride it, i only put the fairing on once in a while when its inside. you can also just take the lower portion of the fairing off if you want the hf look.

ya, i definately agree with KJDK, L7's are way better built bikes and will probably last you longer. Also, the ff cags look WAY sexier, lol. BTW, just got my new 14/14 Dellorto and now my bike id haulin as$.

L7s are deffinately one of the strongest bikes around but the hf's frames are solid and if you know how to take care of them they will last forever,and any ways isnt speed and handling one the factors that make a great bike? beause in that department the l7 is lacking.mod out ur l7s ill mod out my sec. gen hf and smoke all of you
