Bought a 02 Blaster-What to do now?

The case has a few nicks in it, but nothing major or serious. I ordered a new sprocket/chain set, chain guide set, tires, rims, and some other goodies. My new hubs got here today so I can run the 4x115 rear rims. Parts are cheap for these things, but they sure do add up. It should be a decent cruiser for the wife when I'm done though. :)
 
I had my chain slip off a while ago and I thought it didnt do much damage either. It didnt look as if there were any holes or cracks in it. turns out when i got it running again she was leaking oil. i would just throw some JB weld over the nicked area just to make sure.
 
I wouldnt recomend the twist throttle especially if your wife is just learning to ride. Ive got one(Taking it off now) and its got me in troube several times. If your jumpin and land your wrist automatically drops down=WOT
If your climbing a steep hill, wheels come up and your hangin on its hard to back off the throttle. Everytime you pull the front brakes hard the motors gonna rev.
Everybody likes different setups but becuase of that 1 im buyin a new axle, hub, headlight, exhaust bolts and rewelding a +3 swinger that i just put on and it broke in half.
Just something to keep in mind, I wouldnt put put one on my wifes bike.
Good luck with everything else tho, Jeremy

I tried to tell her that, but she hated the thumb throttle. She won't be doing any sort of jumping and steep hills probably won't be attempted with her on it. She just wants to putt around on it and have some fun. She might get more into it eventually and get a bit braver, but for now she just wants to take it easy. She has always wanted a street bike, but I want her to get used to a dirt bike first and get comfortable on one before she even thinks about getting on a street bike. She has always told me she knows how to ride and she knows what she's doing on a bike, but the otherday when we went out she must have forgot everything and I had to clean my shorts out when I got home from that ride. :"> She thought the clutch had something to do with the brake system and she thought to slow down you just slam it in a lower gear....with no clutch. That was exciting.
