Bay, Cuba. 30 +/- square miles of nothing. Spent a lot of time fishing and drinking beer. When I wasn't working of course. As for my net connection I got it fixed. Long story... sure hope I never have to call the phone company for any problems as I'm sure I will be slapped with a big fine! Live and learn...

I liked the first one so much I decided to add a second one yesterday.

Well looks as if I may have to share the GY with my son.

Share, you have an MZ to ride.
Or time to trade the pitbikes for a full-size. Allen

ride it. It is heavier and not as trail friendly with the tires that are on it. One day... Quote:
interest in hers and my son could probably ride the GY. Unfortunately the funds will go to pay off bills rather than a bigger bike. :(

ImEazy, I think you have the longest running thread here! BTW, your JonWay is a Shineray. Not too long ago, I read somewhere that JonWay imported Shinerays into South Africa. I am guessing that he sold his overstock, or tried to enter the US market, through someone in the US who put them on Ebay. This was before the EPA law went into effect in which bikes had to be certified, when there were dozens of brands in the US selling on Ebay. So,if you feel the quality is there, that says something about Shineray, who have several bikes that are EPA certified, but who don't seem to have a direct importer. I like the ammo cans, BTW, and yes, now that you have a new toy to play with, you have to let your son take the JonWay over...

You won't be able to resist another china bike.
It seems that the resale on china bikes is starting to come around and you may be able to get a decent price out of the pit bikes. Then after you collect enough copper and aluminum to turn in you can buy another. (paid for my handguards) Allen

Been a while I know. Well with a cold still lingering I decided to
force my self to the garage. After looking at the pitbike I decided it is pretty much complete. I then got a wild idea to give the GY a new makeover. I wanted to spray it with bedliner, but at $8 for a 16oz. can It's not going to happen. I saw another member painted his with rubberized undercoating. I hit up ebay and found six (24oz.) spray cans for $24.60 shipped to the door. The case arrived two days later... woohoo. I got out yesterday and prepped and sprayed the front fender and a headlight that I got off Adv. Rider for $25 shipped. I added the front signals with a couple of screws and bolts. They turned out well in my opinion. I also took the time to remove anything not needed. Example I cut the tool box mounting bracket along with the tank cover mounts and more. Anything that isn't needed was removed. I took and modded the rear brake linkage so that it would run above the rear swingarm rather than over. This should allow for a couple inches of more clearence. I even replaced the rear signals with a set of flush mounts that I got at the local stealership. I still need to prep and paint the side panels, tail section and gas tank. I know... on to the pics already... Left rear signal... Right rear signal... Both from the rear... Rear brake linkage... Front fender (got it from SamM, thanks) and headlight... So far I am very stoked with my decision. I think it will look really awesome when complete. I removed the rear rack as well. I got a tailbag with bungies that I plan to use for tools etc. More updates to come...

Thanks for the comments. I think it will look good when it is finished.
I showed my son earlier tonight and he was impressed. We both thought it would look kinda funny, but it actually looks good. When I was working on the rear brake linkage I also took the rear brake lever off and bent it a bit to make it fit nicer. I wish I had gone a tad further, but this will have to do as I don't plan on taking it apart again... laughs. Might be a few days before I can get to painting the rest of the pieces as we are expecting rain. Will keep ya'll posted.

Went out today and prepped and painted the tail section.
I wanted to do the side panels as well, but plan on reshaping them a bit before I can spray them. Probably tomorrow. I still think this is going to look pretty darn good when complete. I attached the small bag with a couple of rivets. It will come in handy for the phone, camera etc. A few pics...

Is that undercoating gas resistant? That may be a good way to paint my tank.

From the can...
For underbody, fender, frame, rocker panel, weld joints, door panels, gas tanks, fenders, and panel replacements. Also useful for sealing rain gutters, coating tree wounds, etc. I just drained my tank tonite as I plan on painting it as well. Should work just fine. Although I do plan on masking off the filler neck and leaving it the stock black as it will be hidden by the gas cap. Edited to include that I am not sure if it is gas resistant but we will find out. It definitely dries pretty hard and rubbery... kinda like the bedliner they sell just not as thick. I plan on applying a few coats to the tank. It will be time consuming as this stuff takes a while to dry.

That is good to know. I will have to look on the auto parts store shelves.
