I need to get my facts straight

Hello, i am fairly new to the scooter scene and i was doing a lot of research and just wanted to make sure i got it all right.
Let me know if im right or wrong on these:

The MGP scooters are an inch shorter than all other scooters, so you need to make sure that you get your bars an inch taller than normal. Now is that cuz the headtube is an inch shorter or what? do all headsets still fit it even though its shorter?

The proto scs is meant for threadless forks and threadless bars, they also add 2 inches to the height of the bars. Is this correct? i am a tall kid 6'2" and i like my bars farily tall. So the extra two inches would be nice since i cant find many bars over 24"

You need to file the MGP and the Razor ultra pro forks in order to fit any 110mm wheel into them, and for the Razor ultra pro you also need to file the brake spring or the 110mm wont fit right and rub. Do you need to do anything to the MGP brake for the 110mm to fit in the back?

Lastly i live in Northern California, very close to Sacramento and cant find any walk-in retail stores, the nearest is Scooter Zone which is 7hrs away in SoCal, No thanks. Does anyone know of a place closer to me?

Thanks in advance for any and all information that you all can give me.

scs is for threadless forks and threadless headsets. all bars are threadless.

and order from the internet like most people in the world have to do.

No suck thing as thread/less bars. There's slits and no slits.
Slits-for threaded compression
No slits-for threadless compression
And yes you DO need to grind the forks down.
Not sure about the brake.just ride a flex fender<3

Alright, thanks. Also if I want to get a mgp it comes stock threaded right? So I'd need to buy a scs, threadless forks, and threadless headset. Then to add proto slider 110mm I'd have to make sure the threadless forks I buy are 110mm compatible and that would be it? Or do I have to mod the brake?

Edit: does stock mgp have slits? Cuz I guess I'd need to cut them off to use the scs with them. I need a tall bar so I guess I'd just buy tall non slotted bars

As long as you get 110mm compatible forks you will be able to run 110s on an MGP without doing anything to the brake.

In my experiences ( 2 cases ) a 110 wheel will fit in the back of an Mgp. The only problem you might have is that is is an extremely tight fit. If this happens you can put an old bearing under the brake spring. This will sit it up a tiny bit, but enough for the wheel to fit. Depends on how used the brake is ( the more used the higher it sits). Also dialing your brake at the same time :p
