Welcome! What part of the country are you in?

My honourary son has a Gio that he just picked up, and the resto process has just begun. Read about it here: http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=14593

Thanks, Im on the ab/sask border actually. I seem to recall reading that you also once had an X33 that you modified with parts from brand name bikes, though i could never find a thread for that specific bike.

The only Gio I ever had was one that I parted out, due to considerable damage. I made a few bucks on it, repurposed some parts and still have a few spares.

I have modded China bikes with Honda parts, like my current Lifan. It has a Honda XR250R muffler on it.
