Thanks! , exactly what I need it to know
so..do you think a front end swap will it go ? like the daytona's forks-trees to the spyder frame
and Daytona's rear fender to the spyder ..I'll swap the tank also.
I read the rear shocks are adjustable (will compensate the front end going low?)
The spyder is way more popular being in production for some time now, easier to pickup a used specimen against the daytona, too new! , found only 1 dealer around here, and they are asking for a not so holy price.
I'll defo go for spoke wheel perhaps if possible.
Have you checked the KIKKER 5150, Hardknock bobbers ?
Its a chinese engine into a rigid frame, something like the Leonart Bobber (RR in Spain) or the JPM (RR in USA) but single cylinder 200cc , and more low tech.(I really like the 2 exaust system of the RR! , its like a "Triumph Bonneville America mini-me" . (I always liked the old chopped Triumph's 350)
Didn't find anybody selling this kit (KIKKER 5150) around so importing from the USA will put the costs up and it may not be "budget" anymore.
In the other Hand I remember riding a friends rigid and I'm not sure is suitable for the SA roads. Will need to have the tyre pressure very low and a 200cc sounds small for this matter.
Anyway looks like the RR project makes more sense and perhaps more fun in the project.
I love the research part. LOL !
Thanks again for your Review and the extra info , !
Again, great forum!

01-21-2010, 08:05 AMThe easy way to go would be use the Daytona triple trees and then buy shorter fork tubes from a local shop. Using the Daytona trees would get rid of 5 degrees of rake and then it would be a matter of measuring for the shorter fork tubes. You could buy the fork tubes from the Barhog and use them if measuring get to be a problem. The rear fender from the Daytona will mount correctly on the Spyder. You'll need to use not only the fender but the support struts as well.
I wouldn't bet my house, but I would bet that all the tanks mount the same; just from a engineering/production standpoint of ease. I could be wrong (That is why I keeping my house!) And even if I am wrong, then the modifications to make it fit would be pretty simple.

01-22-2010, 11:04 AMHi. So, South Africa, eh? Cool.
Anyways, maybe I can chime in, being a Honda Rebel owner here in China.
First, interesting about the Honda Steed. I am guessing that your 350 is not going to be that much less powerful. A steed runs about 30 hp and a stock Rebel is about 19 hp from 233 cc's. I am guessing that the 350 version of the engine will be not that much less than a steed.
Ok. I will be interested to see what you will do with a RR. One place to go for ideas might be Honda Rebel forums.

Some of the guys have done some cool stuff.

Hi iamcanjim,
You are right, if I remember correctly my Old VLX 94' use to claim 28 HP with above 250Kg and I think I read somewhere the RR 350 is about 24 HP and certainly has to be lighter, in the same subject I'm a small guy I weight about 60/65Kg.
I use to cruise about 80 Km/h easily and from 110/120 the bike was difficult keep holding it, I mean... me get hold of the bike before the wind blow me away LOL!.
Not sure if the 350 engine will be so pleasant to cruise as the Honda Vtwin.
But is super interesting what LH1953 said about the hidden power in that motor, kind of make sense, I wonder if is not there already a sort of "Power Kit" for the 350.
Regarding the details you've mentioned LH1953 , I think you are right again so I started to think about the "Frankenstein" project like this
RR Spyder will be the canvas
with the Barhog sportster inspired petrol tank
the upside down forks from the Daytona , but please not in Golden
I think a 21' Spoked wheel in the front will be nice
Again the rear fender from the Daytona looks the best
And the good part will be no need to fabricate anything, kind of missing the fun perhaps
...but cheaper and faster than my previous project
I can't do the same I did to the Shadow now, I have now no access to the tools and friends I use to when I was in Argentina and To be honest, The Leonart Daytona 350 is pretty much what I'll do,(spoke Wheels and Black forks) and stripped it down from any "non essential feature" :)
and the other collest thing I can think about would be rigid frame but I'm not sure if my back will resist that.

i have been to a "RAPTOR" dealer today and found one of their "Spyders" in the showroom ...
they told me it was a 300 Sypder and the difference between the 300 and 350 is the exhaust which is straight at the 350 bike
so far my impression was quiet good and i plan to visit LIFENG in a couple of weeks just so see for their other models. so far the BARHOG or BOBBER would be one of my favs for getting a new bike here in China ...
i will keep u updated when i'm back from their factory

02-11-2010, 12:36 AMThen you have been lied to or you were speaking to an idiot. The difference between the 300 and the 350 is 50cc. The 300 is 270cc and the 350 is 320cc. The up swept pipes are an option.
Please get lots of pics at the factory. I would love to see the them!

03-21-2010, 10:10 AMHey LH,
Name's James. I work and live in Chenhgdu for 18 months now. I went looking for a bike today in Chongzhou (about an hour west). I used to ride a honda 750 Nighthawk (long time ago) and I really don't want to get a 150. One place I went turned me on to Regal Raptors. She indicated that they had 250cc but not 350. Sure could use some advice if you could spare any. She said I should check out a local regal raptor riding club and I could check out their bikes... otherwise, if I want one of their bikes, I should pay up-front and take delivery of a bike sight-unseen - sure hope you are still active on this forum.
RSVP - or call me, if you please - 86--13880227632
Best regards!
James
