Hi Franki,
Looking good so far, some interesting "farkles" you got there. You're getting an extra set of the stuff for me, right?
Other than the fancy crash bars and racks, what are they doing to address some of the other issues like engine vibration and low gearing? Have you ridden the bike at all? Grab the rear rack while you are riding and feel the vibration, you would swear the thing is bolted directly to the engine.
If you're going over again sometime soon, give me a shout, I would enjoy checking out the progress on your Galaxy ADV edition
Cheers!

The bike sure looks good but still faced with some quality issues. I am helping them to iron out step by step. A small factory has its limitations.
The luggage rack is custom made by hand, once it has been road tested and modifications done, it will be an factory option. Sorry no factory saddle bags yet. I am using Givi. It is not a very hard job for China to duplicate any of the saddle bags currently on the market.

Hi ChinaV,
I have passed on your concerns about the XTR to the factory today. Let's see what will happen. I have only riden the bike around the factory block a few times. Therefore, if you are interested to come to the factory with me, I think it is a positive thing to do.
Cheers,
Franki

OH yeah! Getting some moto progress on.
I dig those custom fabricated racks Franki... those of your immediate inspiration?
Also, great riding shots and comments on the Galaxy CV.
Would love to see how this thing hold up on a LD trip with all the luggage.
Do they have any seating options available for the bike? Replacing the tiny moto-x seat with something a little wider, flatter and more sculpted would probably be a big boost in it's daily ride-ability and general appeal.
Hmmm... now I'm getting ideaz.

Andy, you might want to have Franki keep an eye on your bike while it's being made...

I don't know him personally, other than from these forums, but he has been hanging out at the factory lately while he awaits his bike, and he might be close enough to hang out for your bike?! Ask him...
