Looking good so far!...and it's nice you got the counter balanced motor. That Hondanoid pushrod should live a very long time with valve adjust and regular clean oil. I've had 4 of those motors now and all 4 valves assemblies came too tight. I suggest a reset. If they don't clatter a little, they're too tight.
My current Hondanoid has a gas cap that reaches kinda deep but not THAT deep! I gotta say that for a stock rack, the rack that comes on these is the nicest I've seen. I have one on mine and it's very user friendly for strapping and surprisingly sturdy. Also nice to see another member who has a Mrs. who rides her own! :-)

Thanks for posting the build thread.
It appears your bike has the same front wheel as my Zongshen 200GY-2. Do you have 37mm forks? Please measure the diameter of the inner fork tube. I like the lower fork guards and the routing of the odometer and brake lines. Did you get a rubber, or a braided brake line?

OK.. I measured this morning.. Looks like they are 35mm. The brake line is braided, looks nice.. To be honest I didn't pick up on that, but it's a nice feature.
Also threw in a couple of pics with the box on..

Both of my China dual sports have plastic tanks with locking caps, and no EPA device.
I just noticed that you don't have a sprung shifter. I highly recommend that you findd a shifter with a spring-loaded tip on it, so that it will take an impact (rather than bending the shifter shaft). Like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dirt-Pit-Bik...400db1&vxp=mtr

http://parts.powersportsbest.com/ind...t-systems.html 35 bucks, shipping will probably be ~20.00 When I (if I) ever have any spare cash I may go for that.. Of course, they are sending me a replacement, so I may hack the old one first..

Nice looking motorcycle. I like that green too. I am thinking about the 200cc model for my self, but not till some time in November.
9/27/15 update. Well, the 200 Bashan is out due to the only place that has them now does not ship to Hawaii or Alaska. That's all right, as I like the Hawk, the 250 Storm, and both the 200 and 150 "Will's" also. But, the 250 Storm has that nice rack.............
