the clamp I'm using is a heavy duty bmx stem clamp 1 1/8th with a shim.I cut the bottom half off of the stock bars so the I'm using that half to clamp onto the fork stem.the bars are 7/8 bars for a crf50 or ktm50 or mini moto. If you go with drag bars,they will be way to low and to far foward.the bars on my race bike sits lower and is narrower than the bars on my black 87 street bike.you find those bars on ebay for around $25 shipped

Air scoop like for the carb or air shroud for the cylinder? No undercowls for spree's. They are to low to the ground already.
yeah, does it force air up into the cylinder shroud/engine cooling?

its not for looks.Its for down force on the front.thats why it has that scoop with the 2 slots cut out.Thats why I said if you don't want to much drag from the undercowl to cut that section out in the front of the undercowl. if that section is cut out, air flows through to the engine.

That video is sweet! Few questions:

What happened to the scooter in front of you at the ~53 second mark, miss a shift, blow a motor, etc?
Didn't you come in first in that race?
I never saw you reel in #68 after he passed you?
What was the #68 scooter?
