One thing I noticed and really liked on the vids was the 6'3" guy mounting the bike. I'm 6'1" and i thought the bike might be a tad small for me, after watching the video it appears it won't be. It's going to be easy to mount dismount and for a 60 year old with years of injuries, back, ribs, knees, that's going to be a blessing. I'm getting very anxious for this bike to get here. Hope that seat is as nice as it appears. Looks a lot like the seat on my XT 1200Z and that was a comfy seat.

Here is a link to the saddle at the Taobao website. http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=...33&ns=1#detail The saddle looks comfortable to me, also. :) In addition, I'm sure it would be very easy to add extra foam, or change the density of the foam. Many owners could do this themselves, or have a local upholstery shop do it for them. ;) |
Looking at the shock link/dogbone, I'm pretty sure it is made out of steel, not aluminum, as the ADVPulse reviewer speculated. ;)

I'd put zerk fittings in there to make it easy to grease.

Stupid question time. How do you order parts from Taobao? I would love to get a front hub for the RX3 and start my 21" wheel project.

Did you happen to notice the four rubber buttons on the bottom of the seat. By altering/removing them from the bottom of the seat, one can lower or alter the pitch of the stock seat. That's a good deal!!!

http://taobaotrends.com/ Using an agent, you can order parts from various Taobao sellers. First you must register with the agent. After a few days, you will be able to place items from Taobao in the shopping cart at the agent's website. After you place your order, you will wait a few days while the agent verifies the items are available. He might also ask you a few questions regarding the color of items, et cetera. After all questions are answered, you will be asked to pay for the parts, plus a 10 percent fee for the agent's services. After payment, the agent will order your parts, and wait for delivery from the various vendors. After the parts arrive, you can request photographs to verify the correct parts were received, and the items are in good condition. After verification, the agent will place all the parts in a single package, and quote you a shipping fee. After you pay the shipping fee, the parts are sent directly to your residence. :) As of now, I have only seen complete front wheels for sale. However, the RX3 might use the same hubs as other Chinese bikes. The RX3 might also use the same spokes, which would be very nice. If this is the case, you won't need to order custom spokes, which will cost a little over $100, delivered. ;) Instead, you could order the 21-inch Chinese spokes, at a greatly reduced price. I'm getting ready to place a fourth order for some Zongshen 200GY-2 parts. At that time I will also include some RX3 items. However, I am waiting for the RX3 bikes to arrive, so I can verify what parts from other Chinese bikes might also fit the RX3. ;) |

No RX-3 posts in two days!
More pics, reviews, or vids! I need to keep the momentum going on my self-indulgent, un-necessary potential purchase :crazy:. Just bought a Seat Concepts kit for my KLR250. If I improve it too much I might not need a Zong Cyclone.....

Okay, for all you guys (MotoJ) who absolutely need a video fix. ;) Here is a video posted by Derco Motos of Chile; they sell Zongshen motorcycles and Sym (Taiwan) vehicles. The Zongshen RX3 makes an appearance at the 1:00 mark. :)
