Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

**barnone** · 08-31-2011, 05:26 PM

I bought a a rotary file for my drill and cleaned up the inside of the handlebars so I could fit the bar end turn inside them. Drilled two holes in the underside of the bars to route the wires.

Turn signals for 7/8" handlebars at
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_W0QQ...KQ3aMEWNXQ3aIT

I removed the stock turn signals and wired up the bar end turn signals to the front turn signal wires.

I used some cable wrap to clean thing up and now with the rear turn signals gone, I can start on a rear rack.

The bar diameter is 7/8". I think I will order some that are a little wider as the ones I had laying around the shop that I put on the bike are only 28 1/2".

Vince,would you be so kind as to show me a closeup of these bars you put on..I am looking for something similar and do not know the dimensions,or where to get them. really appreciate it.

Dear Gumpsta,

Likewise, if you are actually in Shanghai now, give us a bell. Would be fun to share a coffee or a beer! PM'd you my contacts.

cheers!

I bought the bars off Ebay but don't remember the vendor. They are 32" wide, 7/8" in diameter, approximately 4"rise and 4" swept back. I think they are too wide and plan to cut about an inch off each end next time I have them off.

Actually I didn't give the stock bars a good test and plan to put them back on when I return to Florida where I left them. I would like to get a set of flat black stock bars if anyone has a set they want to sell.

This is what I am shooting for but not in red.
Flat head V-Twin would be my motor of choice.

still haven't gotten my plate yet, that tropical storm lee, and labor day kind of screwed me. i did get my title in the mail though. i would just take a ride on it, but, the cops here will pull you over quick for not having a plate, which wouldn't be a huge deal cause i have my paperwork for the bike, but i don't have an endorsement yet, and i live about 2 blocks from the sheriff's headquarters, so here i wait til my plate comes in.

**hooliganboy** · 09-07-2011, 04:03 AM

well i picked up my plate today. i didn't have much time to go for a ride so i just zipped around the block a few times. everything seems to be working fine, shifts real smooth, and i love the loud pipe. the weather here is supposed to be really nice for the next 4 or 5 days so hopefully i'll get to take a longer ride sometime this week.

hooliganboy,
Nice but but the rule around here is that she doesn't exist without photos.

**hooliganboy** · 09-07-2011, 09:47 PM

barnone, i did post 2 photos of her, post #992, i haven't modified or added anything to the bike yet so she looks just like she did when she came out the crate. wen i get a chance to take a good ride i'll post some more pics(so far i've only put 6 miles on it riding around the neighborhood), or when i modify or add something i will also post more pics, i'm just not sure what i'm going to do to it yet.
