ive still got the old one bolted up. i work 3rd shift so it actually makes it hard for me to get simple things like boltingnew exaust up a hard thing to do. it will get done just might take a bit longer.

1. rusted out exaust after 3 months
2. unusual noise from engine
3. broke chain after 5 months
4. 55 mph max on a good day
5. horn just fell off

That's a nice bike, my friend has a shadow spirit.

kmoore · 04-10-2009, 08:48 AM

mine has a few mods already exaust has been upgraded to jardine drag pipes and has a nice sissy bar and some nice fatty hiway bars BUT a few down notes its missing front fender and turn signals

suprizingly i got $2000 trade in value on my lifan sadly i still owed 3000 on it so im stuck paying 1000 more than i bought the bike for

3995 for bike
-2000 trade
1995 for more power

oh well i dont think i got beat

** edit to add instead of having2 posts**
now if i couldjust find me a nice light bar w/ turn signals and a decently priced set of 4 inch risers with about 1 inch pull backid be set.. oh and a fender

I would say that is more than twice the bike you had. I think you did well.
I wonder what happened to the fender/

katoranger · 04-10-2009, 09:41 AM

I don't think you will be dissappointed with the honda.

Feel free to keep us posted in the new "other stuff" forum.

Looks like you did okay with the lifan trade in.

Did I miss the price on this new bike, would you mind telling us what it cost? I did see you got 2000 for your trade.

kmoore · 04-11-2009, 07:47 AM
