my pit bike project - help and advice please

hi everyone
please have a look at this as im new and this is my 1st post

ive just got this pit bike - im not even sure what it is? any ideas peeps?
the bloke i got it from told me a few things - but i dont really believe him

he thought it was a thupstar 125cc
from looking up the engine number ive found that the engine is a lifan 110cc
he also said he had upgraded the exhaust, carb and a few other bits.
how can i check? i looked up some thumpstar specs but once i found out it was a 110cc i thought it may be any pit bike - how can i find out what pit bike it is???????

i guess once i know what it is then i can find out specs and see if it has the upgraded bits he said it did

ive got frame number and engine number - can anyone help???

also it has oil leaking from the bottom - nothin major - il add pics when i know what im doin on here.

just so you all know ive looked up as much as i could on previous threads and got lots of good advice before even asking a question but now feel like joining and getting some answers

ultimatley i want to put the bike on the road - ive looked up loads on this and know its not that easy and i wont ask questions that have been asked before.

sorry if im goin on a bit but ive been wanting to do this since i got the bike nearly a month ago - so ive been a bit built up.

so il cut to the chase a bit now - my goals are
12" rear 14" front - is this poss without frame changing????
ive got lights, indicators, horn etc and a wiring loom - looks a bitch to put together tho - will i be able to do this or will i have to pay someone?
i got the wiring diagram from a c90 - will that help - i got a headache just lookin at it
how can i make the bike slightly taller?
can i turn the foot rest bar round ( one that connects the pegs and goes underneath - u no what i mean???
the clutch is at its tightest on all adjustments but still need to be tighter?
will a new cable sort this or am i missing soming??
and last thing for now
where is best to get parts from?
thanks in advance to all replyers

Re: my pit bike project - help and advice please

cheers mate
ive checked the oil bolt - thats nice and tight
ive changed the oil and cleaned the air filter
the oil is coming out from the bottom by the casing on the chain side
i tightened the bolts up to see if this would stop it - but no joy
then i started to undo the bolts to see whats on the inside
and the oil came out even more so i just did it back up and came on here for help

could it be some sort of seals??

how do i add a pic??
