damn 6 weeks, only took about 7 business days to get mine from Scooter Depot, factor in one weekend so about 9 days. customer service is pretty good too. i dumped my bike on a fast curve with gravel in the road and needed to order a foot peg and clutch perch, i was on hold for about 20 minutes but it only took about 5 days to get my parts.Quote:

gardo, i remember reading about your fiasco, not being able to register the bike in new jersey, and the trouble you had with ScooterDepot. that was quite a few months before i ordered my bike, and it seems as though they've gotten the bugs worked out with customer service, but i guess we really won't know unless i have to cash in on that warranty. since i laid my bike down, the parts i needed weren't covered so they were actually making money off me, lol, but as for now i can't really complain.Quote:

Attachment 6172Attachment 6171 Working on a tank logo for the DF. Left may be to much in your face China. Right pulls together the Zonghen motor wings and shuttle china star. ( right also has origins from vintage Army Air Corps )
Attachment 6173 Better image. What do you think?
on killer motorsports site they have it for 2329.95 + 150.00 TT&L so that is for the plates and everything right. I wonder if they price match...
Thanks

All the pics are gone from this thread Barnone.. Do you have any you could put back up?
Thanks, but before I go to 'pres' need your honest thoughts. HAVE I FOUND OUR LOGO? Will ship (other than mailing cost) proofs to you free. (I have 4 proofs available, & originalQuote:

I haven't bought my DF yet.Waiting for spring to sell a bike I rebuilt.Hoping to maximize my resell as much as possible.
I wouldnt use Logo , I actually like having no logo makes it look more "custom"
Appreciate the "custom" look too, with this new big tank it just seems to need something. The logo may help with all the questions from strangers. Sorry guys I pushed the question. It's like your wife asking 'honey how do I look in this dress?' Printer will have the paintable vinyl decals ready tomorrow. This weekend I'm going to apply and spray a low sheen caterized clear coat. Color Rite sells a kit for tanks, allowing us spray can painters the ability to final coat a gas resistant two part clear.
Found a H4 35/35W headlamp from Powersport Superstore for my Indian headlamp (came with a 65/50W H4). I just don't trust pushing that much draw through our electrical system.
Finally got all the fuel parts in (Pengel petcock, filter, lines & reducers), need to work out new layout for a right side tank bung.
I went with a couple of red chinese dragons on the tank for mine...
Cool, Alley you have balls, don't pull up to a Harley bar!
LOL, that's probability true.Quote:

That price is cash or payment dont matter. Let me know what you all think if not will just order one online. The only thing is if anything happens to the bike he warranties everything in house for a year no hassles of calling over the phone. Again let me know what you all think...
GUNROD, I like the Army Air Corps design best. It fits with the bikes image of "OLDE SKOOL" ... I am bummed by one thing though... I did not think of it.... LOL
I just got my DF registered and plated on Friday here in Tennessee, the clerk at the DMV was very helpful. I think I may have been the first to plate a DF in Tennessee because she asked a lot of questions about the manufacturer and model above and beyond the normal questions about a vehicle. She did not even flinch when I handed her the MSO. It took her a total of about 20 minutes to create my bike in Tennessees database.... Now I can't wait for the weather to get just a little bit warmer to ride it down the street to the gas station to fill it up and act all cool when people start to ogle it... It has been mild here all winter and just as soon as I get my tags the weather changed from 50's and 60's and sunny to 25 degrees and windy.... Anyway, the DF is good to go in Tennessee.
How much are these going to be for a set?Quote:

HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM!!!!!!
Filled up the tank and started. Holy s--t full RPM, couldn't get to the kill switch fast enough. New petcock & filter, chock & trottle cables are pushed down under new tank from original position. Followed lines from handlebars down to carb. Had taken apart & oiled but no adjustment was made. Put back as I found it. Spring for trottle cable at carb still pulling as directed by handle.
Stumped, ANY IDEAS?
The decals look great, I can see what you mean about them being shiny. It would not be too noticeable on mine as it is gloss black, one thought that I did have is to have the printer make the decals without the black back ground. Have them make the image of only the star and wings with the name/model as a separate decal....then you dont have to worry about the printer properly matching your paint... on the second item, the carb, the only thing I could suggest is to disconnect the cables and see if anything changes... if it will idle without the cables hooked up then you will know where the problem is...if there is no change , then you will know that the problem lies inside the carbuerator . Not much help I know but its a starting point.... good luckQuote:

Anyone have his number?
Perhaps needlessly concerned...
pulled the needle seat didnt ya :P
wide open throttle is caused by re-inserting the carb tube (with needle in it) so dont seat fully . I did that myself
look at it the cutout has to be facing the rear wheel , and it will let it seat deeper , stopping that WOT on start
YES! That was the issue. Purrs like a Kitten. Thank you VERY much.Quote:
