Bashan Shark 100 mile report

sshevie · 04-19-2017, 10:22 PM

Well 100 mile's came and went on the shark and nothing exploded fell off or other wise broke.
I've been presently surprised with the low end power it actually accelerates up decent sized hills with me on it in 5th gear. The engine has smoothed out a little bit but the transmission will for no reason go from notchy to smooth and back to notchy. The 100mile oil was very clean just tiny metal bits that look completely normal.
My list of farkels is small just new mirrors , hand guards a Oxford's tail/tank bag and Oxford heated grips.
The only thing I do have concern about is the front fender. All of the plastics are very rigid and I fear easily broken. The fender in particular vibrates a lot and even though I've reinforced it I still have a nagging concern about it. Oh and the lights on the dash are far to dim I would love to somehow change those.

That's it for now I'll post a 500 mile report when I get there.
BTW it took me a while to name the beast, the paint job always reminded me of the dukes of hazard so every one I'd like to introduce the General Tso. I'll be ordering the 01 and name stickers tomorrow.

Later

Maybe General Tso should be "02"?

Great name, funny.
