I am still deciding on them hahaha

If you want bags and can not sew them yourself, these are it.

Tako,

Yep, the sprocket pictured fits? Yep, you can get one? Yep, you can supply the needed retainers and other hardware? If the price is that high I'd rather you make a few bucks than anyone else.

Reasoning for sprocket tooth contents removed because I'm tired of justifying what I've learned over 55 years of 2-wheeler experience.

So, if "yep" means good quality, I need the 15t countershaft sprocket, a 53t or 54t wheel sprocket, all the hardware to mount them, and 120 chain links.

Can you do a good price on EK SRX or DID VX2 ringed chains? I've had good service from both, usually 25,000+ miles on 15 tooth countershafts sprayed with DeepCreep for a quick clean, then allowed to dry and sprayed with Walmart chain lube to prevent rust. That's all it takes.

p.s.; I can cut a chain so a stock link count might be cheaper.

Those are "KTM Style" folding mirrors. They're great when you ride off-road, just fold them down so they don't hit tree limbs.

I am new here and just read through all the posts in this thread and have
an idea of what you are doing. ie filling a market need better than
others and in a way that you can make some money and maybe save
some for the buyer too.
I am looking for a Cafe Racer style bike but it must have exhaust system
like Scramblers so that I can do limited slow off road without worry
about breaking the exhaust. I will need a bottom protector plate to
protect the engine also but I can make that myself if need be.

It has been difficult for me to read the messages because many models
and parts are mentioned and I dont know what they are like RX3, RX4
and special engine types etc .... In time I will probably learn what
others are discussing but it would be helpful if others are careful to
mention what brand a certain model bike or part is etc.

I recall that many weeks ago you mentioned an aim to provide 3 or 4
different complete motorcycles of different sizes and shapes. I came
very close to ordering two cycles from TXPowersports around end
of November but they would not answer my questions about available
repair/replacement parts and prices etc. My nightmare bad dream is to
buy a bike that I have to throw in trash because of small part that
breaks and I cannot get replacement. SO, it is very important that
standard and popular components are used where thousands are around
the world and will be easy (easier) to to get parts in the future when needed.

In fact one idea I had would be for someone like you to send all parts
without assembly to save on shipping and also save on total cost.
A motorcycle like that with all separate parts identified maybe would have
an easier effort perhaps to obtain the exact parts needed in the future.
The big requirement would be for easy to understand assembly instruction
manual with all parts listed.

Scott in Atlanta - an old guy who hates any motorcycle that looks like
it has an insect stinger and a bunch of plastic panels to make it look
streamlined that add weight and expense - hence the CAFE RACER style

Later I will send example photos of what I am looking for.

sqwert · 01-22-2019, 03:44 PM

Well, Scott in Atlanta, better get used to plastic. Seems motorcycles today, are marketed to the children who dream of robotic toys controlled by phones that can count to 1, much smarter than the delinquents themselves, and tend to include 2x4s or funnels for seats. if we are lucky, the delinquents will be prevented from breeding.

CSC had a sport bike incorporating the same engine as the RX3, but I don't see on their website any more. They also have a retro model called the San Gabriel built with a 230cc engine about half the power of the RX3 engine. CSC will ship to your door, and overnight parts from and apparently well stocked facility. That might satisfy your aversion to things sharp, creased, and spikey.

p.s.: The last street bike I had was a 1975 CB550, highly modified into a touring bike. Best motorcycle I ever rode on pavement, with all the most pleasant compromises possible. Not the fastest, not the lightest, not the least maintenance, but the best all around from mountain 2-lanes to western interstates. If it had hydraulic lifters I'd still have it.

Seriously considering another 750 Nighthawk, even if they are pigs.

calvarez · 01-22-2019, 04:04 PM

Scott, you may be lost. This forum is ONLY about the CSC RX3, and possibly now the RX4 upgrade. Adventure bikes with a 250 motor, lots of plastic, and luggage. Nobody that I can think of is trying to sell you bikes here. This specific thread is about ordering parts from one person who lives in China and is setting up to sell parts for the CSC bikes to US buyers.

Very interesting.... Did anyone notice the shipping cost ? $8 China Post
and $25 for other...…. I assume the seller knows the weight of the engine
and has all necessary into to provide price of shipping...….

If correct, how is this possible ?

Those shipping cost are incorrect. They would be more in the $150 to $200 range due to the weight. I had posted that link for Nz as a reference to see if he could fine an engine similar to that one with the 6 speed.

NzBrakelathes · 01-23-2019, 09:15 AM

Updated the look a bit
Can you spot the changes?

sqwert · 02-04-2019, 07:35 PM

NzB, managed to get home yesterday, warm enough to finish the brake/tail mod, and still had a couple hours of sunlight. Since the seat was off to access T/T/B wires, tossed the universal seat cover and sofa cushion aside, stuck the front half of your seat cover on. Fired her up, hit the curvy 2-lane about 20 miles. Stopped for fuel, chatted with a friend, got back on the bike and realized I hadn't entertained any thought at all about my butt. Did another 25 miles a different way home, and totally forgot all about my butt again. Got off the bike and the first thing that popped out of my bramaged dain was, "Wow, that is now one comfortable seat!" Can't wait to get a full day in to see how good the seat REALLY is. I might reinstall the universal cover for its additional padding, but don't know if it should go atop or under yours. I'll try it both ways--takes longer to undue and refasten the 2 seat bolts than to R&R the cover. Velcro is easy!
