Help... Should I pay $2200 for a DF250RTF from a USA dealer? Or order one from China for $380...? China says I can get bike in 10 days, USA says 5 days...
Is it safe to order from China...? I can show you the emails from the Chinese...

Is it safe to order from China? Or should I find a dealer in the USA?
Can someone send me a link to the cheapest DF250RTF Outlaw chopper?

China listing... http://m.ec21.com/mobile/pDetails.js...log_id=6654010 says $850 but got them down to $380... Is this a scam??

Installed the oil cooler yesterday and took her for two 30 mile rides today. Seems to be running cooler but no scientific data. The oil radiator gets hot so it must be working. Also had to add 200 cc of oil to bring it up to the line in the sight glass which I guess is the capacity of the cooler and hoses. No leaks so far.

The valve cover is not exactly the same size but no leaks.

Relocated the horn and use it's bolt to mount the cooler.

I'll ride her some more in the next few days to do some more testing but so far so good. Whether it is really needed or not needed is unknown.

Probably a scam from China. No way they can sell and ship a bike to the USA for $380. I bet they want Western Union or T/T. No recourse if you go that way. Lost money for sure.
Buy one from a USA dealer and use Paypal or Credit Card.

Damnit, ok, thx Barnone. Do you know a of good dealer in or near Ohio?
They say they can do it because they sell wholesale, so this is a "sample" purchase...

seems ligit, I say go for it.
you might get a bit confused why Mr Mubatu Goodfellow living in Nigeria is selling Chinese bikes but try to look past that as your saving so much cash

well the fact that it's hot is proof positive the concept is working, as u say how much or if its actually helping might be forever unproven.

but concider that heat is the enemy, the less the better.
if I every get my engine rebuilt I'm likely going to get one as well.
