hellcat...much to learn

so i got a hellcat cheap, have worked on small scooters, some pit bikes and such but every new bike means learning new things.

The bike was missing the side panels, so I bought new ones off of partskit. I figured $50 wasn't bad for new panels shipped.
Except they came missing some screw-in inserts.
So I look back on the website and realize for some absolutely retarded reason they are sold seperate.
On top of that, the pieces are $15 each...the much larger side panels were only $21 each! how does that even make sense?! Honestly their prices for other body panels don't make sense either. $21 for side panels but $40 for the side panel by the seat?
The bike still looks better with the panels, even if they are missing trim pieces and have screw holes in them.

At least my new mikuni carb and the replacement clutch came today. Hopefully in a couple of days I will have them installed. I am sure the carb will resolve running issues, and I'm hoping the new clutch will resolve the shifting issues it was having.
