You win! I wondered who was going to notice that first.

Do I win a set of logos... I assume that was part of your big Taobao order?

You win my 'eagle-eye observer award,' which, unfortunately, doesn't include an material benefits.

Yes, I ordered the Zongshen logo badges in my last order from Taobao. They cost about $2.52 each, before shipping, and they have a very nice quality of manufacture. I'm glad I bought them.

I just ordered a set from Taobao, along with the LED headlight and a reusable oil filter.

Good for you, Tony.

I got three of the reusable oil filters. That way I usually have a clean oil filter available when I change the oil. When the last clean filter goes into the bike, I clean the other two at the same time.

I also bought 4 of the oil strainers, for the same reason. However, the oil strainers are very easy to clean.

I figure when I change oil, I'll clean the filter in my parts washer, dry it with the compressor and put it back in.

[SpudRider]

That's an excellent plan. I don't have a parts washer.

When I had the panels off, I saw how the badges were pressed in there. How did you remove them without damage?

ok, finally after months of speculation, Colombia is the new market for the RX3, press launch is today, and it will be available in stores end of month, I'm currently checking my financial status to get one, No FI tho but no biggie, also the local distributor sourced a personalized muffler (im guessin full system) and seems to be stainless steel

It was very easy to remove the logo badge. As you can see, the badge has two location pins, which extend through the panel. After removing the panels, I merely tapped the pins from the inside with a hammer.

To install the new badge, remove the tape covering the adhesive, and press the badge into place. Voila!
