Ok, I lied, one more haha.  Someone here on the site told me that these guys were the same or sister company to hard krome and that these pipes are very nice quality as well.

Don't know about rear, but you can try these guys for front:

also:

they also have these pipes, the hard chrome's are nice...

It gets harder and harder to find parts for these awesome bikes.  ebay is worth checking as well.

hey bpurvis68
Thanks for the two links to light upgrade & chain lube, looks like something I could use on the new scoot, by the way, were is a good source for the crash bars (front & rear if possible)?

Hey Hoosierfish,

Congrats on your purchase, I too just purchased an '06 about a month ago with only 700 miles on it!!!  A few things to look at starting on could be, adding a crash bar, a set of additional headlights on a light bar (that was a big one for me just for the visibility factor), exhaust upgrade, jet kit, and k&n filter are a few easy ones as well.  Happy upgrading bro and have fun riding!!

BP

edit:  you said "performance mods" sorry, the crash bar and lights don't really help too much for performance, but they do look good!...lol

I bought a 2006 Drifter 800 bone stock w/2000 mi. on it, would like to make some performance mods. Anyone out there have tips on what to tackle first. Thanks, Dan
