I dig it! The only thing I spotted (and this is just personal preference) is your front brake line is routed differently than I did mine. While "mocking" my bike up, I had it routed like that but the more I looked at it, the more annoyed I got......having it go up and over the ignition area got under my skin, so I routed mine under and behind the headlight. Once you crank the bars to the right, you have to zip tie it in place so it doesn't catch on anything while turning, but it isn't kinked and does not bother at all.

I really like those spoke covers........the way the sun is shining off your front rim, the bike hints at a Motard kind of style

For less than 1800 to the door there's just no beating these Bashan & Hawk bikes.....too many people on here that have earned some respect rate these things too damn high to be ignored. Like most of you I still get the typical "Chinese junk" remarks...but they really don't bother me anymore. I've accepted you just can't fix stupid., Again....that's a great looking dream maker!

Very nice
I really like the spoke covers! I'll be ordering a set for mine soon. I still have not got around to changing my brake fluid. Can you describe the improvement after the fluid change? |

it was mushy and the lever i could almost pull all the way back to the grip..after bleeding it now that lever is much stiffer and engages faster and stops faster..mine must have had some air in the line from the factory

Having read that, I would say both of my brakes feel mushy and pretty weak. I hope to take care of this over the weekend. I want to change my fork oil too.
