Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

[garryo]

Question - anyone ever replaced turn signals on their bike? Looking for something smaller, more old school - maybe with red lenses at the rear...? (...but that will still survive sitting on a hard tail over rough roads)

I'm concerned regarding your 'Dealer', not in my Joliet phone book. Give me the address and I'll do a visit for you.

Happy to report they are real. Not really a dealer, just a sales outlet. No bobbers on the floor, lots of scotters.

Thanks GUN ROD! Makes me feel a lot better. I buy online all the time but I've never dropped two grand online before. They told me the bobber would ship from Cali.

If it is being shipped from Ca., it is comming from Scooter Depo. They do you right. My front tire started leaking air. With only six days on the warenty left they sent me a new rim, tire, and the brake disk fully assembled. All I had to do was change it out. "Ha". Now I have a spare tire and possibly a spare rim if I can figure out why it leaks at the spokes. I think the difference is who you deal with. Since I bought mine directly from Scooter Depot, that's who I talk to. If you buy from anyone else you have to go through them. That's ok. But add another week to delivery time.

BTW. The DF250RTB "Rocks"

OLd school or what?

Does it really take 10 to 15 business days for delivery? Why so long? Shouldn't take anymore than 5 days. I order crap from Cali all the time and it's never taken me 3 weeks to get anything.

The trucking company waits until they have a full load for their cross country trip. That is how the cost is held down. If only one bike was shipped, the cost would be triple what you are paying.

When I sold Mine the new owner paid double, what you are paying.

Yep. I've noticed that too. Not only the temp., but the humidity makes a big difference also. Something came loose in my exhaust. Rattles a bit. So I got to try and get what ever it is out of there this weekend. Hope it does not change the sound or affect the performance. I put a Nautilus airhorn on mine. Loud it is. lol.
