In reference to self cancelling turn indicators: I hadn't thought about how they must work on a bike. I know that I have them on my 1990 FJ1200, but when I was checking specs on a friends new victory, I saw that they were an option for an additional $300.00 I think it was. I thought that that was really kind of expensive. i would think that a relay, thermistor, and a mercury tilt switch would do the job.
And true, most of this is just moving the chinese scooters up to "modern" standards.

I'd be happy if they'd use better quality materials in general, but with that comes price. If that's the case, I might as well buy a better quality scoot. Gosh !! I just answered myself...  |

[replyingto=millsc]millsc[/replyingto]It gets to over 65 real mph stock without a kit or any modification? That is really amazing.

The more reliable systems are tied in with the engine computer and self cancel after a predetermined distance has been traveled. |
