Here's some aftermarket products that, I believe, worth the money to be invested on your Monster GT. This list represents items I trust, this is a good starting point for everyone who wants to improve the performance, the durability and the style of his MGT. There are many more products on the market, I just listed those that are the best bang for the bucks.

Note: If you use smaller tires than stock tires, you'll need to adjust the clutch bell/spur ratio. I suggest a 18T clutch bell (PN: 25374) and a 49T spur gear (PN: 25378) to compensate for the smaller diameter tires.
