I had to move my pedals on the yerf dog up about a foot for my kid to reach them. I cut the existing rod in half and threaded the end of it. I got 4' of 5/16 rod, (2) 5/16 couplings from the hardware store. I cut and thread to length. I used the coupling to combine the original rod (which I cut in half) to the new rod. I used a nut on each side of the coupling as a jam nut. I had to notch the gas pedal where the rod goes through. I drilled a hole through the tubing to mount each pedal at the new location. I made 2 short rods and 2 stock rods so I can drive or my kid can. I used the coupling so it is easy to take off without messing with any other linkages. Cost less than $10. The yerf dog rod is less than 5/16 diameter, maybe 1/4" but i used 5/16".

I got the 8 tooth sprocket coming soon so I can hopefully climb hills.
I cut the front 5" (2 front holes for motor) off of the existing comet jack plate. I then notched out the middle 2 holes on the jack plate (for the motor). Now I can slide the motor forward away from the tc and tighten the belt as needed. Use both side of the plate so it maintains the same height.
