Something like this. Obviously would need a different spring but likely an endless list of compatible components.

Just turned 150 miles today. Great little bike!

It looks GREAT !

Did those wheels come with the red stripes? Good for visibility in traffic

Took the Templar out for a ride with a buddy. It really is a great bike for the money.

So I have a 5sp non-counterbalanced. One of my front engine mount bolts worked it's way out, the other fatigued and broke with the slightest turn of a wrench. Bike was super buzzy on the 30 mile ride home. Turns out the extra vibes broke the upper engine mounts (as well as the petcock holder bracket). I relocated the petcock to the frame with some wire, it will work until I come up with something else. Looking to source some beefier upper mounts to replace with. Crf230 mounts look like a potential. Any thoughts on this?

My advice, stick with OEM mounts. But use loctite. It is a stiff enough mounting bracket(s), and it'll hold, no problem.

They were extras that came with my Beta. Just got lucky and they matched the color pretty well.

I just got a Templar X and did an oil change of the oil that it shipped with, according to the dipstick it was full at 1 qt, you run 1.25 qts without issue?

Did you screw in the dip stick to check level? Because typically you don't with Honda clone engines, the oil level is read with the dip stick unthreaded as a loose dip...

No, it was full at 1qt, I just want to confirm how much more oil is safe to run?

Was the oil warm when you drained it? Did you remove and clean the filter screen? If no to either you probably have a few ounces of old oil remaining. Go by the dipstick.
