Love this bike.
Just wondering how easy it would be to get parts??

That would do it.

A bit slow after a fall though :)

I would suggest fitting a PVL ignition. You can buy different pipes to move the power were you like it but standard is ok. Small MX tanks are hard to come by but not imposable. Forks unless there done need springs and and mods for best performance , You can retro fit yz forks and front wheel. DC does plastic kits and gazzi does a good shocks for this model.
