    Re: ChinaV's Galaxy 250!

    Hello Nima,

    I don't know what they're doing over at Galaxy these days. I'm sure they are willing to make this bike for you if you place a large order, but I think most of their customers have...

    Re: ChinaV's Galaxy 250!

    Since I already have this thread on the Galaxy XTR, I figured I'd keep it going with my ramblings on the Galaxy TGR. The two bikes share a lot of common components, so it's probably easier to have...

    They haven't made a set of stickers yet that don't fall off. :frump: They did some kind of "texture" thing with the decals recently that did increase the fall off time from 2 weeks to about 2...

    Re: ChinaV's Galaxy 250!

    Laughed at, not frowned upon. Wash with a citrus based soap, dry, then spray with Foam Filter Oil. Chinese factories don't oil their filters because they don't know what foam filter oil is. You...

    You do need to remove all of the screws, but Galaxy doesn't actually sell the filter...you have to buy the entire airbox :rolleyes1:.

    I think Felix is a bit closer to "The Night Rider" from the...

    Sorry Jape, just not into the internet thang while traveling. We were all wearing the same Fox suits, Daniel went with the sexy red because it's faster. Mine fits OK, for 80 RMB, you really can't...

    The "ape hanger" handlebars are not the best looking, but the position is perfect for long rides and standing up. Unfortunately the design of the XTR triple clamp does not allow for an easy purchase...

    Ok, the luggage....

    Luggage is one of those thing that can stir up some serious debate among motorcyclists. Just like cruisers vs sport-bikes, everyone has an opinion on why one may be better...

    It takes a bit of clutch, but it does get there.

    CC, you hit it right on the head.... way too much leverage for just a couple of bolts. Although the aluminum is nice, a steel subframe would be much better for making luggage mounts. Also much...
