Chinese bike thread.

Yeah it works, might swap back to having the exhaust on the left though, the clearance for the back wheel was a lot better.

Fucking brakes I hate them

[Nicoli]

Yeah can't say I'd dare touch my brakes if anything happened to them. I'd be finding someone to do it.

Looking at dry bags, what do you use for sleeping bags / roll mats?

[Mad Hatter]

Tbf they're not too bad when they play nice, mine isn't though. Think I've found the problem though so its all good.

Normally I dump them both in a Hein gerrick dry bag across the back seat but that's pretty large. I got a supper small mat not ling ago so probably just 2 separate small cheap dry bags.

[Nicoli]

Cool. Will work out what size and pick some up

[Mad Hatter]

Go out doors and places like that normally have a good selection.

The brake lever on the other bike was about half an inch higher where it joins the rod for the master cylinder so it wasn't moving enough, swapped the rod and now its a bit better.

I'm old enough to remember the arrival of Japanese bikes.Mostly the small machines at first. Ignored by the European bike industry and not considered a threat. Then Honda dropped the atom bomb that blew the remaining industry to dust. It was called the Honda 750 Four.

[Mad Hatter]

Better but not good enough, I fucking hate brakes

History repeats itself, knowing the Chinese manufacturers they'll probably clone the 740 :laugh:

I am not far from you and have too many dry bags sat in a cupboard if you are interested.

[Nicoli]

That sounds like a plan to me. What do you want for a couple?
