They work here in China, though only with a grandma-buster. Maybe try another browser, like google chrome.

cheers

I started reading this thread when it was at 105 pages. Read the first 104 over the past week. It was like watching the full series of sopranos back to back to back. Great watching everybodys bikes evolve. These things are so cool and i plan to get one...some day. Im currently a broke and deep in debt grad student without a place to store or work on one. Im way out in west texas but one of these seems like it would really shine back home in the mountains of wnc. This thread has got my mind spinning on what I plan to do when i get one. Is the gold a production color in the US? I seem to see them more on the ccw blog with the swiss and south african dealers. ive been trying to save money at the end of each month but i have a habit of blowing it on guitars/basses/banjos/anything i can make noises with. We'll see what I can pull off

Welcome Brownbuff. We all started in your shoes man. Put away that money and don't touch it forget it's there, it'll add up before you know it. Mean time do your school work and photoshop some Heists.

As for the gold, I think in the US your choices are black or black, lol. Removing the fenders and tank for a quick spritz of gold is no problem at all. We can help you when you're there. First step, sock that cash away man.

GARDO sweet links and cute kid brotha!

Here's my older one, he's got his signature down there in the paint!

This is not directed at you, but...

Doesn't the douche behind the camera understand that the guy is probably saying ROCKER with a hard foreign accent... and not ROOOOOKER... what a tool.

Hello Gardo, just bought the Heist and Tom Weaver is working his magic as we speak. How has your bike Ben holding up? Hopefully as nice as it looks. I am super excited, as my bike looks like my dream bike, just at a fraction of the cost. I am really curious how other owners feel after putting on some miles?

I got my Heist back on 07-30-2011... and today, I put my first mile on it. I have been so insanely busy that I haven't had time to ride, and since the weather was amazing today, and I took off from work, I decided to take the bike out for a spin before the snow starts falling. The bike is an absolute blast to ride, and a real head turner! However, I did notice that the shifting is quite horrible. My friend noticed this too when he took it out for a spin. The bike is a pain in the ass to get into neutral, and I am also getting false neutral indicator lights... where the neutral light is on, but the bike is actually in gear. My friend said that the bike didn't feel like it was shifting all the way into gear... especially third. Anyone else have any issues? The bike had about 5 miles on it when I got it. Does it just need to "break in", or should I drop it off back at the dealer and have him deal with it? Thanks in advance!

If it's new it will get better with some break in. Your dealer should be able to help.

You can adjust the shift rod, that helps a little. The spline should on the motor should be vertical or close to it. The rod should be as horizontal to the frame and straight as possible. Even then, it can be a bit dodgy. Nice fresh oil helps also. If you are trying to get it at a light, give it a little rev as you are shifting into N. Also try letting the clutch out to roll the bike forward a few inches then into N.
