I agree. I think CSC decided to copy your paint scheme. I stated so in the following thread.

Retrofitting Front Forks?
Since the 2016 RX3 will have adjustable front forks, I'll be interested whether a few parts might be swapped to retrofit the 2015 forks. If so, I could see CSC doing good business selling kits and posting a tutorial.
But if the swap involves major components, probably just easier to buy the new forks, or tune the old forks with oil and possibly spring adjustments. |

Check out this pic from the CSC blog. That's one beautiful bike. I love the look of the anodized forks!
They'll have damping adjustment too. I wonder if I would be better off adjusting my 2015 fork to match my new progressive shock ... or get the 2016 ...

Those bikes show they're headed to CSC (badging), as well they are stickered with "adventure" on the tank.
I'll remove the "speed" and replace with that if I can |

The damping adjustment for the forks is a nice addition. However, I think if you choose the correct fork oil, the old forks will perform as well. My forks work very well with 330ml of Mobil1 Synthetic ATF. http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=14672

Here is a row of Sahara Orange bikes fresh off the assembly line.

The 'Adventure' sticker is much nicer than the 'Speed' sticker. However, I like the appearance of the RX3 without any sticker.

I have bar end weights on my bike (installed when I installed my handguards) - and they do not clear up the mirrors - my mirrors still buzz a bit at certain speeds, making it difficult to tell what I'm seeing in them.

Anyone have any insider info on an approximate ETA to customers? I wonder how long it takes CSC to receive, set up and ship?

Last year the dockworkers were on strike while we awaited the arrival of the first shipment of RX3 bikes. After the cargo ship arrived in Long Beach, it was moored outside the harbor for quite a while before it was allowed to berth. Then we needed to wait for the backlog of cargo to clear customs, et cetera. Things should move along much more smoothly this year. Once the bikes clear customs, CSC works diligently to get them shipped as quickly as possible.
