Ok... thanks for the tip on plasticdip.

Re leak.. NO MORE LEAK, so we caught the source. That was a tough one to catch. Waiting for the O-rings.

Re chain, should I tighten it back, might have to adjust a bit, it moves an inch up/down when pressing/pulling at the center.

I would not do it, but if you check out the Ice Bear Road warrior trike, it has a 248cc V -twin that might be a starting place for another engine.

Giant thread with lots of topics. Didn't meant to bogart. I can see how important the oil leak issue is to you. Glad you were able to solve it. Hope you get your chain adjusted.

Half inch to 3/4 would be good since the DF has a rigid frame.

Had a nice New Years Day ride out to the ranch on the DF.
She is running just fine although she still needs more motor.

This replacement for a H4 bulb appears to have some merit. If too rich for your DongFang budget, perhaps it might interest some on a "real" motorcycle. It is claimed to project on the reflector the same as a H4 bulb. The wattage/amperage is about half of a H4 bulb.
I am going to give it a try in My Yamaha 250,when it arrives.

EC - LED Headlight Bulb - H4 High/Low

Then it comes down to the smoothness and quality of the chrome inside the headlight housing to reflect and project the light out in front of the motorcycle.
