Got mine yesterday!
Mine, and a buddy of mine, had 2 shipped to my place of business, and they arrived yesterday!....we both ordered Orange, without knowing what the other ordered
Got both of them to "Roller Status" so we could load them onto my trailer and haul them home....will finish putting them together tonight after work:cool: (I know everyone likes pics)

I'm also interested in the LED light upgrade. Please tell us more about it.

I've pre-paid for two bikes, (one blue and one white), and I was thinking of changing my mind on the white one and getting Orange.....but that picture looks more yellow than I what like, (still a GREAT looking bike-don't get me wrong). I just like a deeper Orange. |

If you install an aftermarket muffler, that's where they insist upon a USFS stamp. I made sure the DG muffler I bought for my TW has such a stamp.

Great looking bike, Huck. I'm pleased to see that stainless header.

Excellent question.

Now that you've brought it up, I'm going to be paranoid. It's not like "back-in-the-day" when people rode 2 stroke dirt bikes with crappy stock or home-made exhausts and sparks flying out the POS pipe they had on and "possibly" starting forest fires, but there are regulations on the books now and I don't want to end up paying a multi-thousand dollar fine because Ranger Rick is over-enthusiastic either. I know the bike isn't going to burn down the west coast, but anti-biker, anti-motor- tree huggers, (of which there are aplenty around here), will look for any reason to get our fire-roads shut down from ALL motor vehicles. Dag.....I guess I better figure this out. |

I'm not even a little bit surprised. I would have been way too excited to bother with the camera.

My RX3 is a much lighter orange than my Zongshen ZS200GY-2, but it is orange, and it looks great. My ZS200GY-2 is KTM Orange, which is color code RAL2008. RAL2008 looks a lot like Shimrin PCB32 (Pearl Tangelo). My RX3 is Shimrin PCB31 (Pearl Sunset). http://www.houseofkolor.com/speedsha...es_shimrin.jsp I am heading out the door to ride. I will post photos of the RX3 in natural sunlight, in it's native habitat, after I return.

Glad to see more bikes arriving - and can't wait to hear more impressions.
Anyone who has received your bikes already put on hand guards of the wrap around variety? I'm paranoid about dropping the bike and munging up a lever and CSC says they only have the Moose Racing Flex handguards. @spudrider am also interested in hearing about this LED light upgrade. Folks who have the spotlights, just out of curiousity, what was the reasoning for getting them (I'm still contemplating having them added) |

Coat hanger test?
LED headlight option? 35/35 headlight bulb? Is it HID? 35/35 incandescents went out in the late '70s. If that's the case, no biggie. I have a couple 7-inch round dune buggy lights with legal H4 halogens (Silver Star Ultras) composite lamps that would make dandy "auxiliary" lights, and the Cyclone has plenty of wattage to support them. I suppose a relay power supply would be appropriate. Might toss the HID conversion left over from another project in the headlights just to bar-B-que all the road kill around here. Which is exactly why the government will not allow such an action. My cousin is a USFS forestry dude. He told me no "USFS Approved" stamp, not legal. He did allow that safe, quiet operation on trails open to motorcycles with respectful riders and nobody would even look. Excessive speed, noise, bushwhacking, etc., and the tickets will flow.

I have a set of wrap around hand guards to install on mine, if I get around to it tonight, I'll post pics of them...but I'll be out of town after tonight until Monday, so it may be next week before I get to mount them.....I may at least test fit one to see if it looks like it will work tonight...

Maybe we can do a group buy on the LED headlight conversion and save some $$$$. Yup, I'm a cheapskate.
Hmmmmm? A pair of Trucklite LED headlights will fit in those buggy pods.

LED Headlight conversion
I'd be in for a group buy of the LED HL conversion if someone was doing one. I'd do it myself, but I'm "elsewhere" for the next couple of months.
