Default Big Plans for my bike

This weekend, I'm buying a new back end for my bike, as its bodywork's a piece of s*** with a poorly fibreglassed race hump with a half seat. After that, I shall be buying a new front end (as it is currently a streetfighter) and once thats done, I shall tune the engine.
Boyesen race reeds, 34mm carb, heavy duty clutch plates and springs wossner piston (looking for performance barrel) & a polished boost chamber from PJ Tuning shall help with my performance When I come to derestrict and tune the engine, I want to do whatever is done during a top end rebuild, so that everything is nice and new and unworn, but not 100% on what I need.

I'll be buying the tapered Rolling Steering Head Bearings from motarrdbach.
Also from Motard, I'll be buying the seat cowl, led rear light unit, race foot brackets (which position my feet almost vertically), shock increase, superbike style half front fender, race caps (to cover the holes from when I get rid of the handlebar), bar ends & some valve caps which will create a ring of light (useful for at night on a black bike :L) .

I'll also be buying a super heavy duty iris x ring chain and sprocket kit (with +2 teeth on the rear sprocket, so my acceleration will be much better) and pirelli sportsdemon tires. I’m also going to buy a custom emc shock for, well its quite pricey.

I've sort of put together my own top-end braking system, using the top parts from various places. Problem is, can't find improved master cylinders, reservoirs or rear piston; any help?

And planning on putting in a 34mm carb, a wossner piston (specifically for tuned engines, but trying to find a barrel of the same calibre). If I put in the 34mm carb from the rs 125/mito 125, what mods do I have to carry out? Like will the float, inlet manifold, pipes from the carb & choke fit? Also, will Ramair for NSR fit this carb? When I put a ramair filter on the standard carb, I had too much air for fuel-I couldnt get above 40mph in 6th, without it dying. If I were to put a mito or aprilia carb on, would I have (roughly) the right sort of fuel/air mix? What sort of performance increase am I looking at? And reliability issues? (apart from high fuel consumption).

I’m gonna see if I can find someone who can put together a high end performance underseat exhaust (for the original tail, and fabricate some mounting brackets for me) in red, as it looks soooo nice Gonna have the bike sprayed matte black with red trim (vents, frame, although dunno if that’d look better white/silver, pinstripe on the wheel, decals, bolts, grips and bar ends) as it’d look so sinister hehehe

Oh jesus, completely spaced. Honda nsr 125 jc22 from the year 2000. I was thinking today, instead of putting a 34mm carb on messing with the engine, is there a way I can convert the engine into a fuel injected one then tune it?

For all the money you plan on spending on this "bike" you could go out and buy yourself a real motorcycle. 15 HP from the factory will not increase much.

Why not save the money you want to spend on this bike, save that grand you were talking about, add them together and spend all of it on a 500cc bike at the least.

In some places, a 125cc bike is the norm. Not everybody lives in America.

I'm 17, and subsequently live with my parents. id get kicked out if I got bigger than 250cc til I've moved out. Parents are paranoid. And I didn't ask for advice on money. I'll spend what I want on what I want. Just wanna know how to do the mechanics I want to do
