    Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

    I have another battery so I'll try that tomorrow. Hopefully that is it. Speaker terminals sounds like a good idea. I'll definitely have to clean the solder off because it's still there. I wouldn't...

    Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

    My brake wires came off at the rear brake connection. The battery was giving 12 volts, but the ignition was only making the solenoid click. I have some fun ahead of me figuring this one out. I hope...

    It's so hot here in the summer I am sure that my sweat will create a seal and I won't be able to pry myself off even if i want to. I haven't thought about sliding around on it. I'm short so I sit...

    Carolina, I got a bill of sale sent with my bike, but it wasn't the one I needed to take to the DMV. That came later from the company I ordered it from. Check with them about the proper paperwork.

    Sorry, haven't logged in for awhile. Get the 1" tubing chain tensioner. Just a reminder, I cut off the metal triangle between the frame and the cross support to get it to fit.

    Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

    Did you trace the wires back and remove them or terminate them? The other lights shouldn't be affect the other lights. I removed them to paint the rear fender, and they are wired separately. It's...

    Re: Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

    Carolina, consider a different rear sprocket. It makes a big difference, and it's a simple change. If you are changing gears half way through an intersection because 1st gear is so low, it's a good...

    ^^ That's my baby, Ghost. I see guys chasing me in their monster trucks trying to get a closer look, and craning their necks as they walk into a store when it is in the parking lot.

    Good job, Ghost. Looks awesome. I love my chain tensioner and it runs smooth, but I like how you set yours up. My garage is in storage while I am in college, so I have very few tools. Wish I had my...

    I have a 37 tooth rear sprocket. I have a few 5 - 8% grades, and there is a long hill with over 1000 feet gained in three miles that starts at 55 mph, increases to 65 near the top. I weigh about 135,...

    I've always tried to follow the "don't go faster than your headlights allow" adage, but the headlight on the bobber left little to be desired, even if using the high beams. I've tried multiple things...

    Re: Ceramic Break Pads?

    I chose the wheel instead of the sprocket because there is more wiggle room. The sprocket one would have to be aligned exactly, whereas the wheel is a much larger surface. There isn't a lot of room...

    I wrapped my pipe with exhaust wrap. Haven't burned my leg since. It's a lot more comfortable when stopped at a light. I added a chain tensioner, a little expensive, but easy...

    I agree with you, Ghost. I don't like full throttle just to keep up with traffic. I like having a safety net and being able to get out of the way. The road I travel is fortunately two lane each...
