Anyone know where I can buy the 18" tire that comes on a JH600B? The "dealer" in Beijing says over RMB 450. Seems pretty expensive.

Jim, the stock tire on the JH600 two-wheeler is from Cheng Shin of Taiwan. here it is on Taobao for 280 RMB...
I'm thinking the 600B must be a different tire, though. Square profile.
cheers
actually, now that I look at the picture in that link, it looks like the square profile. doesn't look like my tire....
Jialing JH600 link
Thats weird that Taobao tire doesn't match my B either.... its got a more "on road" profile then mine, but still square. Might be good on the front for that oversteer situation on the B's
Thanks guys for the info, I will go out and get a 525 chain with 120 links length... might spring for a real DID for xmas. I will stop by Fan's shop on HongGu lu tomorrow and ask about the Gel battery.....

Re JH600B tires ... here are the original Kendas on taobao
And FYI, re JH600B windscreens. I bought this one off taobao & it is absolute crap. I'm having a proper one custom-made in Beijing. Pricy at about 800 rmb, but according to the Jialing service centre, quite high quality. We'll see. Should be completed later this week.
Acquired a full cover for the 600B - quite nice, but pricy at 300 rmb. Now looking for a bucket opening cover, but nothing of quality available (that I have found). Will have to do a custom cover. Back home, not a problem as there are plenty of great custom-cut canvas covers available from yachting outlets. Here, the few custom bucket covers I've seen made for the JH600Bs were unimpressive.
Done a few other minor mods to the JH600B (new horns - LOUD! ... cig lighter in dash for GPS [nice] ... step for sidecar entry). Persistent stalling problem solved by replacing a sensor (still has the typical thumper stall, though). GPS tracker will be installed on the JH600B (I'm happy with the one I installed on the JH600).
Inquired about painting - 2,000 rmb for a glossy green (has to stay same color for registration), as I'm not a great fan of the flat military green.
I'll fire up some pics soon ... promise. Life just keeps getting in the way.
You must be pretty suicidal if you want to have your R-1 or Ducati serviced in a shop looking like that .... :icon10:Quote:
