good day men, I have a df sprocket question. on the rear sprocket if I grab it a 3 & 9 o'clock I can move it back & forth. I can see some space between the sprocket & the big washer next to the c-clip. is this normal for this bike. should I try to shim it up? thanks for the input.

The DF is a full size bike so I guess you would not look anymore foolish than me at 6' 215bs.

How much movement are you noticing? Do you have an after market sprocket? Are the nuts tight?
I just went out and checked the rear sprocket and don't feel any play. Seems like when I had it apart to change the rear sprocket, it seemed to be a floating arrangement so you might be able to feel a little movement. It was a little tricky to get reassembled properly but it's been a while since I changed the sprocket.

I will be saving the email for paypal in case I have issues once I get the bike

Bob,
What web site has the $1800 price for the DF? I bought mine from Chad at http://www.extremescooters.biz/250cc...r-chopper.aspx for $2199.99 and that included shipping to my house.

I bought a bike from that place yesterday. Different bike but I hopped on live chat and pointed them to 2 websites with lower prices and they matched them via a coupon code. Wanted to stay with a company based out of the midwest.

I do however think the kikker is the most sexy bike I have every laid my eyes on and its a shame they are 100% illegal =(
I was actually looking at getting one of those before I found the DF and the only thing that stopped me wasnt not wanting to jump through 1000's of hoops to get a kikker regged and I also read all over the place they just fall apart when your riding them :P

Aboshi,
So you are saying that the Heist is a copy of the Hardknock 200? Sure looks like it to me. Are they made in the same factory?

LOL! There are some wild inaccuracies here. CCW was NEVER in business w/ Kikker. Period. Don't believe everything you read on internet. It seems all the CCW vs Kikker information comes from Kikker fans/owners/disgruntled ex-dealers etc. The bikes are similar in that they are bobbers. It ends there.

Scotty built a custom Kikker years ago and Kikker fans grabbed onto this and claimed it was photos of the early versions of the Heist. Just stirring the pot basically.

The Kikker is a great looking bike. I have nothing against it and have recently seen some builds of the new larger frame bikes. Simply awesome work from some of those guys. The Kikkers will fall apart if you put do not properly put them together.

This is the cheapest one that I have seen:
http://www.expressatvs.com/prodcusto...linenumber=622
It comes to $2020 with residential shipping. $1895 if you can get it shipped somewhere that is a commercial address with a loading dock. (I wonder if one of the farms around the corner has a loading dock and then I can roll it down the road to my house).

If there is still a cheaper site, I'd be interested to see it.

Edit: They added $183.05 shipping & $7 insurance upon checkout.
