The bike is registered and with new headlights
I got my title and registration. Thanks to Steve at CSC, for getting the new paperwork right out to me. I replaced the dim 35w headlight with a PIAA 55w H4 headlight. I was looking for a Sylvania, but nobody carried an H4 base, so I had to go to Cycle Gear, and they had what I was looking for. I also replaced the little marker light with a bigger LED I had in my scrounge box. It was an easy job to remove the headlight assembly.

I ordered the updated, RX3 LED headlight from Taobao.
![]() http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=37861433653 ![]() I'm hoping my Taobao agent will ship my order of parts next week. As soon as my order arrives, I plan to install the upgraded, LED headlight. In the meanwhile I will experiment with an H4 bulb in the stock RX3 headlight. ![]() If enough space is available behind the RX3 headlight, one could also substitute an LED bulb for the incandescent bulb in the stock headlight, as I did with my Honda CRF250X. ![]() http://chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=13947 ![]()

![]() I installed the stock trunk for my first excursion on the dirt. The stock trunk is easily removed with three bolts. I plan to attach the mount for my JC Whitney Travel trunk with the same three bolts. Then I can easily swap trunks whenever I like. ![]() P.S. Your camera accurately captured the true color of the fastest, orange RX3. ![]()

As planned, I took my RX3 for a 131-mile ride to experience it's first excursion in the dirt. It was a cloudy day which threatened to rain, but I made it home without getting wet.
![]() The day started out fairly warm, but I knew it would be colder when I was returning. Therefore, I was going to carry my heated jacket on the luggage rack with bungee cords. However, I decided to install the stock trunk instead. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The RX3 did a good job in the dirt. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you want to view more photos from my excursion, you might enjoy reading my ride report at the following link. ![]() http://www.chinariders.net/showthrea...354#post183354

It brings tears to me eyes, Spud! It is like the beginning of the GY-2 all over again! Can't wait to see what adventures the RX3 will bring you!!

Knowing next to nothing about LED bulbs, do they chuck out a lot of heat .My headlight has nothing in this portion (Honley RX3) . A bit concerned about things starting to melt ![]() |

LED bulbs produce almost no heat at all. They're ideal in enclosures.

Do the modern LED lights used for turn signal lamps cause fast blinking anymore? I remember having to put resistors in the circuit to normalize the flashing rate.
Cheers!

The answer is an LED-specific flasher. They're cheap and easy to find. I think Spud buys his from https://www.superbrightleds.com/ , but I bought mine from www.bikebandit.com
