Not surprising, since they likely make more Hondoid motors than anything else.

I was thinking the same. Zongshen manufactures 4 million engines every year, and I'm confident most of them are clones of Honda engines.

Now to find a hub for the RX3. Any ideas? Would also like to echo Culcanes sentiments as well. Spud your tireless interest and enthusiasim for this bike is making it a lot easier for those of us who have never owned let alone ridden a China bike. Thanks,

After the RX3 arrives, I'm sure we will quickly find solutions for a 21-inch front wheel. As of now, I can only guess. However, I think the the 21-inch front wheel from the Zongshen ZS150GY-10 could possibly fit the RX3. http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=...id=17904255891 Of course, one can always order custom spokes from Buchanan's, and lace a 21-inch rim to the stock front hub.

I haven't seen only the front hub for sale. However, one can certainly order a complete, RX3 front wheel from Taobao. http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=...cket=19#detail

I don't think the BDR routes are very technical. I'm confident the RX3 can handle all of the BDR routes very well.

Unless there is a need for two dissimilar front wheels, this option makes good sense.

What helps even more is Spud's organizational skills, since the Zong threads are so easy to navigate. Spud is the man!

Egads; my head is starting to swell. Thank you for you kind words, Weld. I don't know anyone on these forums who works harder to help others than you.
