lo,everyone ... I'm a newbie posting a little backround ... love motorcycles and motor scooters but needed more storage space in my rent a storage so I recently sold 2 50cc scoots, a dog of a scooter from new pioneer, and a fast linhai yamaha. More room was nice but started missing the scoots when I don't feel like riding the cycle ... so 2 weeks ago I bought a Rice 80 on Ebay, a Target online 'West Coast' cruiser,and started building. Finished a week ago and I'm kinda proud of the look. The West Coaster has a really small V so the 80 looks massive. Went to Dax (Dax?) ...I think it's called Dax for a few parts upgrades and went with the nice push button alloy clutch lever, and the chrome tank, added the super big Back Trails 12x13 seat (oh thats nice on the ol bum ) and oh, please do not get me started about speedo comps .... tried 4, every one sets and resets as posters here have also found out. Not sure if its really the CDI, I'm starting to think the batterys sit too loosly in thier compartment ... found a $20 Shwinn model (the Target one with the red trim that uses the larger nickel size lithium pluse has a screw down lid with a foam pressure pad,but havn't put it on yet. Ditto to all on the retro look cable speedo .. bought 2, they do go nutz at 35 and the spring loses tension after about 60 miles of use. the drive cable simply rounded out its holder,so no more Pyramid Sports for me.[/list]
