Great pics all! Keep them coming!

Finish assembly, wash, wax and detail....oh, and trouble shot dead blinker. Man, there's a ton of crap stuffed up in that triple tree area.

You RX3 looks good, 2LZ.

Yes, they stuffed a lot of wire under the fuel tank.

Looks really good. Like a BMW that went on a diet.

Funny you mention that, Doc. I know the 650 Beemer motor is built my Loncin in China. Do you happen to know if the 700 and 800 are procured from the same manufacturer?

Hey, just took the bags off my bike, easier to store and don't have any long trips planned. Anyone have any tail bag recommendations? Figure I still need to carry the essential tools and have space for the jacket liner as the day warms. Thanks!

I believe spud striped his luggage and purchased a separate large top trunk, I imagine he will post up for you shortly

2lz... if it's like your other bikes now, I'm sure it's immaculate.

I have wondered what the side graphics say on the '15 's

Oh.... "SPEED". Yah, the Chinese are pro's at naming/graphics on their bikes. There have been some real lu-lu's in the past. One would think that if they put so much into building these things, they'd open a book of acceptable names and sayings.
I like the blue but the "Speed" may need to go.

Install the rack/grab bars. Then you can mount a J.C. Whitney/Garage Pro Travel Trunk.

I ditched the "Speed" decals right off and later went with these so people knew that they were getting passed by a sissy bike

You look good mounted on that orange RX3.

I like your high-viz helmet.

Did you ride to Valley Forge?

If you use a hair drier, the decals will peel right off, without leaving any glue residue.
