This is my bike. I purchased it new in September 2015. Approaching 16.000km.
I'm from Argentina, and here it's the carburated version, which comes with a rear 15' wheel - Larger topcase, I commute to work and need to carry my notebook backpack. - Winyoochanok windshield and handlebar risers. - I just changed the rear rim to 215 x 17 in order to fit "standard" tires, shown with Metzeler Tourance 120/90/17 (already bought 185 x 19 front rim, will change soon) - Aux LED lights. - USB/12v over dashboard, both fed from independent line from battery with fuse and relay. - Handlebar GPS mount. - Handlebar end weights, also cut about 3cm each end, so current width including weights is the same as before. - Mirrors from Honda NX400 (bigger and rectangular shape). Very sturdy, very little vibration even at "full speed". - Front 15 tooth sprocket, rear standar 41. - DID VX520H final chain (original worn out). - Custom made centerstand. - Front brake pads, origin Brazil, from Honda XR250. - Bixenon headlight bulb. - Small lens LED in place of the blue plastic cover inside headlight. - Modified wire so dashboard lights up upon turning key on. |

No pics of mine...all I have is an invoice Hey Spud, how do you like your Etrex GPS? I was torn between that an a 5" "car" gps from Garmin. With your Etrex, can you import routes, or make them with basecamp and export them from your PC to the Etrex, and being it's a small screen, can you see it well enough? Finally, does it do turn-by-turn navigation like a regular GPS?
Sorry to bombard you with questions, but you seem to have the mods I have on my DR, and or want on the RX3. |

Spud, looks good.
I don't see the csc badge, am I missing something?

I have Zongshen roundels for my RX3. However, I am waiting for the paint to cure a bit more before I re-install them.

What brand paint did you use Spud? I'm tempted to plasti dip mine to a dark grey/green metallic. I'm not sure about the durability of the stuff though.

I bought the eTrex Legend primarily for dirt riding, because it is small and robust. I do use this GPS receiver while traveling on pavement. However, since the screen is small, I frequently need to pull off the road, and stop, to properly view the display. The eTrex Legend does give visual, turn-by-turn directions when approaching intersections. However, it does not give you an audio alert. The eTrex Legend GPS receiver has been superseded by the eTrex 20X receiver. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/into...rod518046.html

Thanks Juanro!
I installed the big brake kit not long ago, so don't have many miles on it to give it a fair comparison. I only made it so far as to bed in the brakes a couple of times. Bear in mind I had the sintered forged pads on the stock brakes before going to the big brake kit, so I've likely forgotten how the stock brakes feel. But here's my impressions: 1. The front brake lever feels "stiffer" and easier to modulate now. The thicker rotor likely helps with the pads engaging sooner and that it's now a two finger operation instead of three. 2. Braking performance was greatly enhanced over stock when I installed the sintered brake pads. It made a significant difference in braking confidence. The big brake kit is a noticeable improvement, but probably not as startling a difference between the stock brakes with organic pads vs the sintered pads. 3. Overall, I think the braking is a lot more "balanced" now on the RX3. Before, I could (and did) lock up the rear tire when I applied braking both front and rear. Now I can brake more aggressively with the front and have less fear of locking up the rear since the front is more effective. I hope that helps... sorry, wish I had more experience to share. But will try to get on the bike this weekend and can hopefully follow-up with more impressions. |
