I have been through this before with my imports from Japan. Even after work resumes there is a huge backlog and it takes a long time (months) to get back to normal. At this point I wouldn't expect delivery till late March into CSC. Maybe even April.

Thanks for alerting us to the labor problem, and the new shipment date, Joe. :)

[QUOTE=CSCDude;178087]Folks, we're delaying shipment of the Cyclones to 9 Feb. I just posted this on the CSC blog and we wanted to get the word out to the riders on this board, too.
Looks like I'm going to have to adjust my bucket list to include a visit to China and a long ride back. Not quite Baja, as Joe has suggested, but it would make an awesome group ride if anyone else is interested. Takers? |

Hey Joe, will I see an RX-3 at the Vancouver Motorcycle Show this weekend?

I'm going to take a positive spin on this:)..er TRY to, anyways;)!
There were many people interested in a ride back from CSC, BUT were discouraged andconcerned with the cold issue of Riding in Feb early March..(as was I:)! I think, once we have adefinite delivery window/date confirmed, I can repost on ADV and here again to gauge interest again in a group ride back to some point(s) that owners will ride to. People may ride along on the first part if interested, then veer North or SOuth when they need to to get home:) I was planning to buy a heated vest, grips, and mitts (for the grips and my forearms) as was seen in widespread use in China.
I can now use those funds elsewhere for a EJK, or exhaust/header, tank bag, loop bag, etc, etc. The trip, since it will be in MUCH better weather, can be really enjoyed now, and I think I'll do just that:)! I'd love to come backthrough the Lake Tahoe area, its beautiful I've been told:)! Also, check out some of the smaller towns in Colorado in the rockies, then cross into KS, have a visit with my son in Ft Riley, KS, and maybe even stop in Atwell, I believe where a fellow RX-3 owner/fan lives and offered his camping area for RX 3 riders:) (Thank you)! Probably take 2 weeks for the trip and visiting with my son, new friends and some old friends possibly also. |
Help/ suggestions for GPS mount please..
Anyone real happy with their GPS mount? Where is it mounted (bars or tank bag? or?)
What is best way to wire it, hard or plug into a plug?(I like the small Harbor Freight supplied ones in the solar wiring for accessories kit. Its got all types connectors from a cig ligher, to test light , to even spring loaded clamps for jumping off a battery, to solder/crimp into something in headlight area. I MAY need a case or a waterproof/resistant GPS eventually, not sure the durability of the Garmin I have now. ANyone found the standard ones didn't do a good enough job? WHy? suggestions for replacement and source? THANKS! |
I'm sure people in southern climates are properly disappointed with the delayed delivery of the motorcycles. However, in Idaho the riding season really doesn't begin until April or May. Therefore, I am content to wait until springtime. ;)

I have 4 acres of lawn that is open for anyone needing a camp spot. Also one mile away is an actual campground. More than welcome to use my shop for any maintenance too. |

Does that mean you might consider a fly 'n' ride? |
I mounted my large 7" Magellan 1700 above the instrument cluster on the windscreen mount brackets kinda like a real live Dakar wannabee bike with a home made 3D printed mounts. With my aging eyes I need it BIG and in FRONT of me so I can SEE it w/o much eyes off the road time. It's not water proof so I just put a zip lock bag over it if it's wet weather. Twice I failed to have a zip lock and it got rained on pretty good. The screen had fog in it, but after a few days was back to normal. rj

The later delivery the better. West Texas can be kind of iffy in March.
