Welcome!

Perhaps we can help guide you, but pics are necessary.

Welcome; we are glad you joined us!

If you search our Dual Sport forum, you will find several different threads concerning the TMEC 200. Perhaps the TMEC 125 shares some parts with its larger sibling. I also believe you will discover one or more threads posted by fellow TMEC 125 owners in Europe.

Welcome--not to steer you away from here, but there are a few TMEC 125 owners on www.mychinamoto.com too. I recommend you join there, too. I often see the same members posting here and there, and often getting answers on one or the other.

You're not likely to find attitude here; this is a respectable shop.

You came to the right place. We are glad you joined us, and we are happy to help you any way we can. I have ridden over 42,000 miles on my Zongshen 200GY-2 motorcycle. If you change the engine oil regularly, and adjust the valve clearance periodically, your Chinese motorcycle will give you many enjoyable miles of service.

Decals are admittedly difficult to put on bikes, but license plate frames would work. :idea:

Swing arm, frame, plastics, helmets, front forks, toolboxes, bumpers, kit bags, gun cases, shop walls and the list goes on. I'm sure if there were chinariders.net stickers available they'd be purchased and stuck on any number of machines and places.

Remember too Weldandgrind, it's not just bikes on this forum.....there's lots of chi comm atvs out there and atvs have a lot of plastic real estate to cover.

I'm proud of my Chi Comm bike........I'd love to adorn it with cool looking stickers.
