Shanghai Motorcycle Market: Hutai Lu Motomart

[MotoKai]

As many of you know, the Jiaoji Lu Motomart (交暨路) has mostly disappeared, with the exception of a few random parts/product shops and service guys. Most all of the shops have closed down and reopened on Hutai Lu.

Only worthwhile to have a look when you need to buy the usual crap!

I was there to get the following:
* New storage cover for my JH600 (rmb 25)
* Aldo Top Box so I don't lose any more gear in the twisites (rmb 130) [I hesitated buying one for 2 years as I didn't want to look like a mototaxi when riding around Shanghai. But I'm not all unhappy with the results. When riding home from the office, I usually get at least 2 requests now from the office girls who can't find taxis during rush hour. Do I dare? haha]
* Used disk lock (rmb 35) - which was definitely the bargain of the day.

spot on, everything on offer can be bought via Taobao, fake Arai "Dridi Performance" helmets for sale are good for a hard laugh....
new moto-mart is cleaner compared to the old one.

Sorry, I don't know anyone at the Shanghai market for this job, but if you find yourself in Turpan (吐鲁番），Xinjiang I can introduce to you some sweet ladies who can saddle up your horses.
Here's the work they did for my Jialing steed earlier this month:
