Probably how you survived until now .... You don't know what you missed! I can't remember what you missed.

Janis Joplin, Big Brother, Easy Rider, I hope you got some of it at least, if not the hallucinations and psychedelics.

WoW a 13/45 haha it should be a wheelie monster!
I used to run a 13/66 (dinner plate) on my Honda CBR 929 for my stunt bike, it wouldn't do over 30 mph lol but it was a wheelie machine!
I don't know why we all got stuck on 40T I think someone said it in the earlier posts...
So I think I'll go with the 13/36 that should give a pretty true reading on the speedo and not be a slug getting up to speed also should have a top speed of 75-80 mph if needed =)

I might order a 36 or a 38 after you get you bike going with the 36 and report the results.
Rear sprocket won't affect the speedometer since the pickup is on the front wheel unlike some bikes with pickup around the front sprocket.

I was in the USAF from 1961-1965 then worked for big blue (IBM ) for thirty years with my blue suit,white shirt and tie so that is how I missed the hippy deal.

Dude that sucks. how long ago did you place the order?

On the 3rd!

There is no way in hell I would ever do business with countyimports again.
It shouldn't take 30 days from start to finish to get a china bike thats already on US shores...
I could have order it from china and got it faster =)

Yeah, it's amazing that these drop shippers can stay in business. I think all the DFs come from
Sunny Sports Inc.
12851 Reservoir St., Chino, CA 91710

I just received the two free helmets that the guy I ordered my DF from sent me because he felt bad about screwing me around for so long with the bill of sale and MSO. They are nice helmets.

I just about got him to finish cleaning up his web page for the DF. http://www.extremescooters.biz/250cc...r-chopper.aspx

Soon as Aboshi gets his registered I get him to remove NY from the no register list.

I forgot to mention I was doing research on all the sprocket setups, the stock setup on the honda rebel and nighthawk are 13/33 with a 520 chain.
Only thing is those 2 bikes claim to have 25hp, so maybe in the long run go with a 14/33. Also a 13/33 honda claims highway driving and I can see it topping out at 80mph with that setup.
