Howdy gang, long time no post. My Dongfang DF250RTB has been sitting unused for nearly a year. Of course, the stale gas reeked havoc on the carb gumming it up.

The pilot jet was so clogged, that...

Thanks barnone. I ended up ordering in a Battery Tender LiFo battery... the smallest one they make. Looks similar to the Shorai, about the size of a transistor radio. It started my Triumph...

Finding a proper fitting battery has been next to impossible. I've tried everywhere: WalMart, Meijers, every Auto Parts chains stores, Home Depot, Menards, Lowes, various UMJ shops, scooter shops,...

Having a difficult time finding a replacement battery. I have a TET 12N9-BS that measures 5-1/4"H x 2-7/8"D x 5-1/4"W (134mm x 73mm x 134mm). Everything I'm finding is 137 x 75 x 135 or bigger. ...

I must admit, I have not dived into these Chinese bikes like I planned to when I first got my Dongfang. I think the obvious things to look at are carbs & exhaust.

Bar None,

Good to see you back, albeit I've been absent for some time now. As for the Douglas kit, I'd think the motor would be the only part that would crossover.

Some of you old timers might remember café make over DF Bobber. I was feeling rather smug over that bike, until I stumbled across this:

I'm fully registered, insured and plated in Michigan. In fact, I just got my first police pull-over for -ahem- running a stop sign. Truth be told, the young cop just wanted to check out my bike. ...

Well boys & girls, long time no post. That's because my DF has been sitting idle since last August. I'm breaking it out for this weekend's Gilmore Museum vintage bike show and I'm finally getting...

I met Gardo at the PIT booth at last year's Dealer Expo, or maybe the year before. I thought he worked for them in some capacity. Seems like a nice guy. I wish him well if he's left our little...

Howdy gang... long time, no post. Last month I had 'an off' on one of my Triumph Bonneville's while riding near Harlan KY with friends. I'm OK, mostly bruised and scraped up like my bike. Oh well,...

Kudos Kid! Love the painted wheels and XS tank. Way cool.

Ooops, posted twice.

Today I swapped out the jets for a #42 pilot (slow) jet and a #120 main. I left the needle as factory set and did not re-adjust the idle mixture screw.

Immediately I noticed that a) I now only...

OK, want something a little bigger? Bobber, caff, or street tracker? Maybe powered with a Japanese powertrain? Check these guys out: http://shop.rycamotors.com/

I like where this is going. Well done, that man!

Damn near put myself & someone else in the hospital yesterday at Mid-Ohio VMD. I was tooling around about 5 mph on my DF when I spotted a Heist parked along a row of bikes to my left. So I start to...

That CHiPpy decal is cheeky.:icon10:

Kat,

What is the part number for the adjustable needle?

Ahhh, nevermind. Found it. :thumbsup:

I dig that seat cover. Really transforms the look of the stock 'doormat.' Well done.

Now that's a proper bobber. You youngin's take note.<g>

Gardo,
You should get the factory guys to bring a Misfit out to the Ton-Up Festival in Ypsilanti, MI this Saturday. Total Mods & Rockers with scooters, bobbers, trackers & cafe racers galore. You...

It's got that Johnny Pag vibe going on. He uses parallel twins as I recall. I'd like to see that pint sized v-twin in a Mistfit platform.

Anyone know anything about this bike?
