Culcune,

Thanks for the link, I actually found them last week, but forgot to mail them lol
For the sake of interest I'll found out pricing etc and post it here, maybe there are other South Africans interested.

andy,
You need to post that information on Gardo's Heist thread at http://www.mychinamoto.com/forums/sh...a-Heist/page17
Thanks

Thanks for keeping the thread on track, Barnone

I do think that the CCW info would be appropriate on Gardo's thread especially to someone else from SA.

BTW, andy, did you ever find anyone selling the Dong Fangs in SA?

Barnone, thanks for the tip. ;-)

Culcune, sadly no, looks like I can only get tha heist here. Pricing with the current exchange rate comes out to US$3700 roughly, so I guess I best start saving some money! lol

anyone run the df at night? my headlight is real dim. when I apply the brake it brightens up a little bit. at idle it seems ok but when I rev it up some it starts to dim.thanks

reporen.
Right now my DF has the small bulb (parking light?) and the headlight always on. Your headlight is coming on right?

I hadn't ridden my DF at night lately so I didn't want to comment on the headlight I until refreshed my memory which I did just now. The low and high beam seem fine to me, probably only a 35w light. I do need to adjust it up a little.

The switch on the right side has three positions which don't do anything since we have a USA model that requires the headlight to be on all the time. I might investigate changing the wiring so the switch works with headlight off, small bulb on(parking light?), headlight on.

Barnone, the small parking light comes on with the turn of the key. the main headlight comes on once the motor is started. here is what i did yesterday. test battery before starting, 13volts. start motor 13volts at idle. bring up rpm's volts go to 15. I then check volts at the headlight at idle, 13volts. bring up rpm's and volts drop to 10. I am guessing my problem is the rectifier (is this the voltage regulator)? Does this sound right to you? Thanks.
