Hope so for you rx3 guys, per Ron b., Apparently no one is checking at azusa. (Didn't get the memo?)


Editing , csc had the orientation correct all along. Just incorrect in a few models in early models which led to confusion. Topics still going on which is best orientation , official or un official orientation .

It's not a big deal; you can flip the OCS in two minutes, without getting your hands dirty.

I agree with spud, not a big deal , especially for educated China rider forums members alerted to this issue. Non members, not so much.

they crated it well. If you look close a the boards on each side of the tire they even put strips of foam so it wouldnt mar the tires. thats taking the extra step.

Just realized mine was upside down as well.

went by tractor supply and they don't keep the led lights in stock. So I went by wally world and found a pair on clearance for 9.99. made the mounting hole bigger so I could use the engine guard bolt then wired them to A1. went and mounted the new video camera while I was at it.

May be picking up extra wind/turbulence off of the windscreen. Try feeling with your hand while you are riding to see what the wind is like in different locations.

Having been on the early adopters list I got my bike still packed in the steel crate from China. A lot my more assmebley was reqired that way. Anyway the steel they are using to beef up the shipping creates is left over from the original steel shipping crates; I'm sure they have bunches of scrap just laying around. My shipping crate scrap is destined to be recycled into a welding cart .

Also I've found placing a piece of tape over the microphone on action cams does a resonable job damping down wind noise!

I think you camera works pretty well. However, you ran several stop signs, amigo.

Farking A !

Man, ron that was fast with the camera and the lights. One quick question, would it be beneficial to mount those lights on the inner side of the bars to avoid smashing the lights if/when it lays over?

Ps, I'm still farkling around with my bike too.
