The Gz's is flimsy.

Upgrading the rebel electrical with one part sounds a little fishy. A better stator to produce power is needed and then you will have to upgrade most if not all other parts of the charging system.
As for the crash bars, after market stuff is probably better in most cases. The Zuk bars are for decoration only. Lynda hangs her disc lock on the bottom of the bars when riding.
