Alipay? For use with Taobao? Why not Paypal?

Maybe i'm just dumb but i have not figured out how to use their site............

mjstef... Just wanted to say follow Weldngrind and Spudriders advice... Use a taobao agent, from a site like taobaotrends.com, and you'll do ok.
When you get stuck, they'll respond with the help, and you'll get your stuff.

I placed an order, and got it this weekend. I got side panels, timing chain, and cylinder gaskets...

So, hope you all like the new side panels as much as I do.
I know a few people like all black over the red, but I like these much better than the stock white with flame stickers....

I like the red on those side panels. They match your toolbox.

Do you have a Taobao link to the side panels? I'm sure that a few members would be grateful.

I also like the red.

I think your bike looks great.

You are also correct about using a Taobao agent.

Ok, so thank you for the kind words. I like them better than the stock. Although, the plastic seems like a different plastic, but not a big problem.
The link is: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=22278887261

Notice they're 95 Yuan, or about $15 US. Five colors to choose from.
A COMPLETE set is offered for 220 Yuan, or about $35. Again, yellow, blue, black, red and green. https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm...a-ab668959c2aa

I got some gaskets that I believe, (not confirmed as I haven't taken my motor apart again, yet), are the head gaskets.. https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=26212380601. I got a SET, so the one pictured, and another I believe to be the base gasket... sticker on the bag says "CB250(*69)". price is 35 Yuan, or $2.35 US...
All in all a good deal, although I wish shipping was cheaper.. lol

Oh, and yeah they match the toolbox AND the rest of the bike...

The chinese have a good sense of humor. Wonder how that would go over parking in the church lot!
