RE: Did I make a mistake?
As far as the parts you asked about, You'd pay more money in shipping then it's worth. I'll help you out though cheaper if you keep me in mind about other parts. The bolts you ask about are just metric 1.00 pitch bolts. You can pick them up anywhere for a couple of cents a piece. For the tank it is a # 12 and a #10 with that pitch if I am not mistaken. I know everything is the same pitch. I keep a couple of different sizes of everything so I can replace as needed and get a fresh strong bolt with a clean shine. I don't have the rubber pieces for the tank and just made my own out of a similar rubber. To make the pieces the way you want them just cut em up and double or triple layer where needed and glue 2gether. As far as the hoses if you can't find them cheap let me know and we'll work somethin out.

After that the competition stepped it up and the Honda's have been slower until this year the 07 got a revamp and got back on top.
. Your bike is fine.The only thing left to do to your motor (only if you want) is a leakdown test.No way to lie there.
Springs in the front.When you want to go faster,gold valve emulators are next.
Use paper in the airbox.It'll make more power.
Braided brake lines are a must for the track.
Get an F3 rear wheel if you can.Don't pay more than 75 bucks for one.

I got a set of stage 3 carbs for sale. Just take the lid to your airbox off or run the individual stacks with them. Or whatever homeboy said above. He sounds like he knows what he's talking about.

I'm in the same boat as you,I'm already $1,000 in the hole because my bike stilldoesn't run and needs a lot of work to get it there.
Just get her running, you're almost there. If all it needs is a chain and minor stuff.

Don't EVER take the lid off the airbox or drill holes in it.Leave it alone and use paper.
You need a leakdown tester to do a leakdown test.Or you can have a shop to do it.A tester is about 100 dollars.All truths will be revealed when that is done.

Use a paper air filter.EMGO makes one for 25 dollars retail.No K&Ns,BMCs or stuff like that.The airbox is pressurized,anda stock motoredF2/F3 makes more power with paper.Plus the paper filters work REALLY well in trapping debris.
