Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information
got my bike from killer mororsports as well , but for the price of the bike I wasnt expecting any "real" support other than registering it and getting me the motorcycle , plates and tags sent to my house , I've I expected to and have done all my own repairs , mods and replacement parts using only this thread
head/tail lights = this was and ongoing issue untill I put an automotive store and put a car sealed beam headlamp and led's in tail , going thru 14 or so headlight bulds this was related to bad voltage regulator surging high enough to pop em but they also broke on a pothole or rock/stick in the road , and bumps made me go thru about 10 tail bulbs till went LED
voltage regulator and the blinker relay the bad voltage regulator blew , horn , broken fork reflector bracket rewelded it , 2 front sprockets and 3 rear sprockets to get a satisfactory gear ratio for my weight = 2.0588 and extending the forward controls forward another 10" and added highway pegs , welded a sissy bar on to lean against , and spun my air cleaner 180 degree's facing into the wind
any u guys with leaky tanks ever tried repeatedly KREEMing it ? http://www.amazon.com/Kreem-Products.../dp/B001J0DHZK its a tank liner pour it in swish it around and it builds a rubber bladder along the inside of your tank http://www.ebay.com/gds/How-to-use-t...1059206/g.html
would save alot trouble and might be cheaper than switching tanks , perhaps paying someone else to kreem it for ya
if I could figure out how to upload a pick I would , have a few in my email but do not know how to move em from there to here

Anyone ever get a chance to look at the top of their forks and see if they are even or is one higher than the other?
Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information
Geez yet another problem: I think I fried my battery today.
Bike would not start so I put a charger on it but did not yet plug in the ac chord. Then I smell what smells like rotten eggs. I must have fried it. Battery was completely dead today. And mind you the bike was a bit wet from rain.
I did plug the AC chord into the charger and it starts to charge and after 1 min the trouble light comes ON on the charger. So either my battery is fried or I now have a short somewhere.
Will try to charge it again when it is dry and cross my fingers but Im guessing a new battery will be $75-$100. This bites. Will search the forum to see what others have purchased.

I just want to buy a battery that will fit with no mods for under $100 if possible.
Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information
I didnt "really"need to mod the battery box , and was in stock in an auto parts store (advanced auto ? about $70) , but without modding it the terminals are MM's away from the direct short into the batterybox , without mentioning all but impossible to clip on a charger without shorting it to the battery box , i just used a metal blade on a drill and just cut a large square where the terminals were , opening the terminals to be accessed

You are going to have to measure the height of your battery box (that seems to be the limiting factor on the DFs. I went with the $$$ lithium iron battery in 14ah flavor. It comes with a lot of foam sheets to pad the battery box, so that vibration/poles shorting against sides or top will never be a factor. I now have it in My Yamaha and a 18ah in My Triumph.
Whatever you go with, you should consider a permanent charger pig tail. New "battery tenders" come with them.
