I need the seat covers. My main seat is starting to crack. Are they still available?

Real lights!
Tail light is fitted and is perfect. I didn't realise how many LED's there are supposed to be with lights all the way up the sides too.
Thanks again ! A question to the "community brain" is anyone replacing the various screws and bolts with more durable/higher quality ones? As I work on my bike more and more I am thinking it might be good to fit allen screws and stainless bolts to keep things useable for longer. Are there ready made sets of do you just buy as you go from the local hardware store? |

Danny, if you are in the US it's easiest to simply order a selection of OEM stainless steel screws from CSC. You will find that some of the SS stuff (the screws/bolts holding the plastic to the tank) are hard to duplicate at the hardware store. The quality of the SS bits is pretty good. My 2016 is not showing any signs of rust on the fasteners and the only ones I have had to replace were due to me dropping them, then they bounce off into never-never land. With that said, the covers on the cams and crankshaft are the exception. They are made of some kind of soft metal and it's all too easy to chew them up. They are also unique enough that CSC is your only source. At least they are cheap so I have a few on hand. Once again, invest in about $10 worth of a selection of common sizes from CSC and you are set. Tako also offers a kit of spares and it looks like his kit covers far more than just the SS stuff I mention.

The screws on this bike, like most Asian bikes, are not real Philips. They are JIS. When you use a Philips driver on JIS screws, it tends to chew them up as only a tiny bit of the driver engages the actual sides of the cuts in the screw. You can always use JIS drivers in Philips however. I picked up a set of JIS hand screwdrivers and a set of bits to go into my impact driver. The difference in usability, once you experience it, will shock you.
The Allen bolts are not perfectly sized. I keep a ton of hex keys around that have collected over time. I try different ones to see what fits best. Interestingly enough the Harbor Freight Allen key set fits most of the CSC bolts rather well. My Craftsman are less reliable for fit on this bike.

The new RX3 has this bottle it seems - they mount it on the inside of the fender and the fender has mounting points now - Mind you easy to mod with a brace like I did. |

RX4 Crash Bars
Anyone have a lead on a better set of RX4 crash bars? The CSC set up is devoid of protection for the lower motor.

The CSC bash plate for the RX4 is 1/4" aluminum and actually wraps around the lower part of the engine....That's all the engine crash protection I think I will ever need.
