Ok, so my throttle cables should be here tuesday or wednesday.

Since I was making an order for a few different parts I also decided to order in the parts needed for a hydraulic clutch conversion. The cost is relatively low. and I get adjustable levers with my new brake and clutch masters.

For those interested, the clutch line does need to be 1200mm according to my measurements. I also measured the front brake line, which was surprisingly shorter at 1100mm. If I were to order a new one I would go with 1200 so I could route it a bit differently.

I also submitted my brake parts to ship today. The shipping was twice the cost of the parts

The funny thing is, total price for three brake rotors (more on that in a second) and a full set of "sintered" brake pads was maybe 10 bucks more than JUST one rotor through txpowersports.

So, why three rotors? Well, I ordered a rear and a front as part of a set *link: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=...7207:273110631
The issue is, the bike in question came with both styles of forks even though the hub looks the same, and as a result there are two different brake rotors sold for it. So I decided to not risk the first rotor not fitting after waiting a couple of weeks for it, and ordered the other style of rotor. (middle option on this link with straight "spokes") https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=...207:1075833039
I figured for an extra 6 bucks (and 5 more shipping) I would rather be safe than sorry. If not for that, this would have cost less than just the front rotor from txpowersports.
The pads I ordered (cqr copper burning front and rear) https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=...7207:362297183

My plan is to see if both fronts will work or not. If they do both work, then I will gladly sell one of the two front rotors to whomever would be interested in it for roughly what it cost me to buy and ship it (about $25).
