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.

Does that big bore kit come with a Honda style head that allow you to bolt on an exhaust made for a Grom or is it just the cylinder and piston?

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.

I bought a full Grom exhaust for my Hellcat and it wouldnt fit either, I ended up keeping the stock header pipe and cutting the exhaust I bought to make it slip over the stock header pipe. So far it has worked out good with just a slight amount of exhaust leaking where I slipped it over the stock header. I might need to weld it up in the future or maybe I could just put a clamp on it. Hopefully someone will make a complete exhaust that bolts on the the Vaders and Hellcats, I haven't found one yet.

There are two issues to using a Grom Exhaust on these Clones,
1. Groms Exhaust port is on a slightly different angle
2. The Studs on the Exhaust port are a different size
Ive read somewhere else that you can use a NCC PIPE ADAPTER and change out the studs on the exhaust port to accept the full Honda Grom Exhaust setup in case anyone was interested. Disclaimer: I have not tried this myself but it seems like a feasible pretty cheap option to try before cutting things up.

Do you happen to know the part number for the big bore kit you ordered from TBolt?
