This is the informational video from scooter depot. I am sure those who have been involved in this thread for a while have seen it, but those newly interested would like to see it.

Other,
That video is new to me and thanks for posting it here. The guy did a good job of pointing out the features of the Dong Fang bobber.
I didn't know that the tires/wheels were actually tubeless with some sort of sealed spokes. If that is true than then that is a nice safety and usability feature of the DF. I'm headed out to the shop to verify that there are no tubes.
EDIT: The DF does have tubeless valve stems which is great news. I'll have to add a plug kit and air pump to my tool roll.Vince

The tubeless valve stem and what appears to be normal spoke nipples. I don't know how they seal the rim , guess I will find out when I replace a tire.Vince

05-03-2011, 08:24 PMThe bike looks great in the video, looks a little more "oldschool" I guess compared to the Heist. I like the MPH speedo with the idiot lights built in, that seat looks pretty comfy too.

barnone, How far are these trips you are taking? What speed are you cruising at? If I were to get one of these, I would want to use it for my 30 mile each way commute. I could spend some time on a 65mph highway, but I could also do back roads the whole way.

Gardo,
I've never heard of a stock Harley with a spoke wheel and no tube but I could be wrong. Some people have used a sealant to run tubeless but that is a questionable practice.
The tubeless rim has to be designed to hold a tubeless tire without a tube. The tire has a bead. I guess that is what you are referring to as a safety bead (part of the tire)?
If a sealant is used, it would have to be applied after the spokes are adjusted and every time the spokes are adjusted.
Here is another approach. http://www.nuetech.com/
I'll let you know how the Dong Fang does it when I need to change a tire.Vince

My run out to the ranch is 35 miles one way on a 55 MPH road. When I ride with the scooter group we might do a hundred miles with a stop for lunch.
These Dong Fang and Heist bobbers have a 229CC push rod engine so they are pretty much topped out at a true 65MPH. Don't believe these internet MPH.
If I was doing a daily commute on a 65 MPH highway I'd want more motor but that is my opinion. Yes, you can do it but people around here are doing 75 plus on a 65 MPH highway. You get on an interstate you better be able to run 80 with some juice left over. Son of a bitches will run over you.Vince
