Hi shammash55

Welcome to ChinaRiders!! Great group her to be on! Thanks for the order, what are you looking for in a exhaust? performance or do you just need a new one?

[shammash55]

well i would like to find a kit for performance
,i got a flat today 5 miles from home, so i will need a tube,when it rains it pours.

[liverchip]

Welcome!

[ambassador]

Sham,
Sorry to hear about your flat, while your at it though, replace both tubes, the stock ones are crap and it would suck to get a front flat while riding a corner, I think it's in the D/S prep thread the golden rule book for China Bikes...

[shammash55]

got a new tube and man the bike rides better.lost one of the bolts on the rack,tryd to put another one in and it broke off,lost a blinker lens today so im gonna have to get a new one,is riding at 7k for 50 miles at a time safe or am i gonna have to get a smaler sprocket?

[TheOtherRide]

Dude, you wouldn't believe how much smoother it is with a 45t!

Welcome!

Great, now I'm not the only hillbilly or should I say river rat on here. I've had the same problems with the tires, my valve stem separated from the tube on my front tire a few weeks back, lost a blinker lens the first week I had it, use loctite or lock washers on every nut and bolt and check them after every long ride. Last but not least, watch out for deer and dogs.

Watch out for pigs if your ever in Hawaii.

[shammash55]

well got tired of seeing white on my bike so i got some krylon fusion and painted all the white plastic satin black ,it looks a lot better, next mod is to get a friend to paint the military sharks tooth on my bike.

[shammash55]

just put picts in the gallery as soon as i get somemore of my mods i will post them too.

[bfe71730]

Dude, check your mirrors, I had mine mounted like that b4 I was told they were wrong. The owners manual even showed them mounted that way. You can even see better with them mounted horizontal.

[shammash55]

i really have them on wrong omg. how do i mount them rite?

[bfe71730]

I think I swapped sides and turned them outward.

[shammash55]

doen that about 10 mins ago, it looks better

[TheOtherRide]

Ooh, you got the black one w/ black rims! Nice!

I've seen lots of pics on the web with the 'rabbit ear' mirror look. So THAT's why guys don't read the instructions....hehehe....because they're wrong in this case!

[shammash55]
