I know of this great salvage yard in Maryland that carry bikes may e I can get a few things from there.
The mirrors on mine were also complete junk. Even the $6 ebay replacement mirrors I bought are better and stay where I put them. I have the older version of the bike (Dec 2010) but I do like the mods they did with the newer B version. I especially like the better seat and the front springs. Bigger gas tank is also nice. Not sure if not having a front finder is legal in TX though. I dont think it is. I prefer a front fender, that's just me.

Oddly they did not address the #1 weakness of the bike, the thin weak shift linkage rod. Luckily though there are aftermarket rods that are better and I have one as a spare. Seems to be the first thing to break on these bikes.

I am happy to say I paid mine off so I feel good about that. Thank God for income tax returns. Had my bike for almost a year now and still have not put 600m on it. Will remedy that this summer. Only other thing that happened is I broke the damn weak battery connector wire. Thing was rusty and broke if you look at it wrong. Easy fix though. Strip the wire and put another head on it and crimp it on. Luckily I had enough slack on the wire to do that. Since it's paid off now I hope to add some mods to it this year. Better tool bag and a side bag will probably come first. Maybe some grips that handle the vibration better as well.
