    Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

    Barnone,
    I was just following your earlier advice that I should not buy this bike unless I was experienced working on bikes. It seems that your oppinion has changed since you have owned this bike...

    Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

    If you are not going to be happy with the 250cc, get a used Japanese bike and bob it yourself. I have a 4 cylinder 650cc (bored out) yamaha maxim that I found bobbed and I love it. I drove some...

    Sorry. I didn't mean to hijack your thread. Some of the others were asking. This message board probably isn't the best place to post about a yamaha bike anyway. I am interested in finding out how...

    Barnone,
    I am impressed with 80MPG going up and down the mountains. I am impressed that it could actually function well in the mountains period.

    Aboshi,
    I am glad that you didn't get this...

    The frame and the connections look identical to the trailer my daughter used to ride in. I haven't seen one made for carrying cargo. I have seen lots of ones modified to do that though. Your's is...

    Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

    Thanks. We just went for a ride to the Indiaqn Reservation and found a tame little biker bar right on a small waterfall. This will probably be a 30 minute drive I take often. Lots of people asking...

    Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

    I have a motor cycle mechanic visiting with his Harley 1320CC (but its modified way beyond that) and he keeps asking to go out on my bike. So I am pretty happy with mine.

    Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

    I am just thinking you should make sure the brake light lights up when you step on the brake. It would be obvious the wiring is wrong if the brake light doesn't light. (I would be surprised, but...

    Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

    I would see what happens when you run wires from the battery directly to the light. If you still have an issue then the problem is the light and you don't have to go through all the wiring. (I doubt...

    Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

    The extra power is more of the attraction of one of the used bikes. Also, I am guaranteed it is legal without all the hastle to register it. Thanks for the info. I don't know which way to go.

    I like what you have said about that company. I am leaning that way if I go with one of these. I am thinking that if I could find out if there is actually a place selling them for $1800, then I might...

    This is a quote from: http://www.oldschoolhardknock.com/ about the new models. They have "250cc" engines now.
