Bought my Vader January of last year and have done quite a bit to it so far.

Looking good! I really like the grom seat on there. Any issues fitting it?

I appreciate that guys ! No issues with fitting the grom seat except a couple tabs on the seat had to be trimmed down. I can take a couple pics to show you if you'd like to see what it takes to make it work

Nice looking bike. Is there a cat in the exhaust pipe?

There was a cat but I split it open and gutted it when I made the exhaust. It was a stock exhaust but I cut down the muffler ,removed the baffle inside and gutted the cat then cut it down to fit under instead of the stock location.

Looks great! These little bikes interest me alot! What was the gains with the big bore kit? Costly? Anything else you care to share, please do. Not a whole lot of how to and mod threads on these.

Thanks alot ! I just installed the big bore kit about a week ago so I haven't really been hard on it yet but I can tell you it has definitely made a significant difference. Once it's good and broken in I'll report back with the power differences. I ordered the tbolt USA big bore kit for lifan 125cc engines with the 14 mm pin and had ordered a z40 cam but unfortunately it doesn't fit. So far I've also ordered CNC clutch/brake levers for a grom and they fit well, honda from seat that fits perfectly except for trimming a couple other tabs. I think for the most part honda grom parts will swap right over to the Vader, not everything but so far I know that the light assembly, seat , wheels / wheel parts, levers fit. It's been alot of trial and error with this thing and there isn't much info on the web right now.

Unfortunately the kit I bought did not come with the head, only the piston and cylinder. The Yoshi exhaust I ordered for a grom does not fit either 😠. I just ordered a couple different stainless mandrel bends for a 1.5 inch exhaust so I'll cut up the new grom header and weld a new downpipe to match the Vader head.
