Hi !
Just found this forum , and I'm rally glad because it is one of the few that is still active.
Anyway, I have a question :
I had plans to change my mirrors to aftermarket nice looking ones , but could not find info about thE size of the screw. Is it 10 or 8 mm?? And both of them gettin loose against the clock am I right ?
P.s
Sorry for my English , I'm from Israel .
P.s.s
This is the first Visual mod I've made , after a really easy slide on the side , I've decided to make an overall paint job , not too much , but still breaking the Default design

Real nice Subwoffer. I like the creative flair. Your mirror bolts/studs are 8mm clockwise. Yamaha is the only scooter I know of that uses reverse threads. So yes against the clock to loosen.

Thank you very much ! Will be posting pics soon !:)

What's the other bike with the cover?

hey , does anybody know any kind of brands for aftermarket grips?
-
7/8" is the bar size. I bought some ebay grips for two bikes, and am quite happy with them 8.00 USD

wow, cool , thanks for the link .
i hope theres some a bit more high standart grips, i would like to purchase quality item .
BTW , how hard to install them ? and what about the weights ? i suppose they're not necessary ?
-
The grips I bought are http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-8-Handlebar-CNC-Rubber-Gel-Grips-Motorbike-Street-Dirt-Bike-MX-Dresser-Bobber-/180892576522?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a1e09ab0a&vxp=mtr (http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-8-Handlebar-CNC-Rubber-Gel-Grips-Motorbike-Street-Dirt-Bike-MX-Dresser-Bobber-/180892576522?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a1e09ab0a&vxp=mtr) Both pair.
They are fine. I didn't use the little ends cause I have bar end mirrors. If they last one year I'll be happy.
To change them I use a thin screw driver to push in between the old grip, and the bar. Once an airspace is opened I use dish soap to lube it, and twist it off. I then use Gasoline to lube the new grip. It softens the rubber, and Melts it in place.

left grip is 22 but the right is 24 am i right ? or they're both the same?
just ordered

Yep! you are right. The right grip is bigger cause of the throttle. Mine had splines on the throttle tube that I filed off. It made installing the metal covers easier.
Nice Grips!

There's Arlen Ness, Kuryakyn brands and dirt bike styles like Pro Grip, Renthal, Scott, etc.
They're more expensive tho.

I would call the first one. Louie is the owner. His site is a hella mess to navigate.
You can also call/email Webike Japan for much better help. I am chatting with them a few times a week.

thanks for the links BUT
have you noticed how hard to find a simple word called DOWNTOWN on all of those sites? got damn is this bike so unpopular? D:
i need to search for an items that i think will fit and then ask the seller about it :\
anyway i see nothing special anywhere . its like almost stock parts (and im talking about bike apparel only, not engine parts) . i had hopes to find some shiny oil covers (on handlebars) or some sportish short break leavers (damn you t-max for having all these) , or , i dont know , maybe some nice looking backrests .
you see what i mean ?

Keep in mind that this model is not called a Downtown in all parts of the world.. In Taiwan/Japan it's the Nikita 300i and in many places it is the SuperDink 300i.
There are a quite a few Nikita 300 accessories listed here:

NHRC in Taiwan has some nice items:

I will be ordering a set of these brake levers:

It's called Grand Dink here. :)
-
Yes - I forgot about the Grand Dink name. Which country are you located in? I believe the Nikita name is only in Taiwan/Japan but do not know where the other names are used.

Philippines. The Yager is the Dink here.

"got damn is this bike so unpopular?"
Well why didn't you say it was a "got damn" Super dink?
Then I would have said... Look them up for any bike. 90% of it fits. Then you will have to call.

-
BTW im from israel .
-
SIP Germany
-
Google
-
well i tried them all , international shipping on none of them .
kinda giving it up
-
International to where? Jupiter? Sip ships to the US, and they are BASED in MOST European nations... I don't think you are applying yourself.
Every country has a scooter shop. Even Crow ate ya!
Where are you? I'll buy you the parts/bring them to you/have my trained monkey install the parts for you. No charge!
-
Just looked back. Israel... There are some lovely scooter shops in Palestine. Ask for Pete.

Subwoffer if you like any of the NHRC parts, such as those I have listed below, I am about 99% sure that NHRC will ship internationally to you.

i would really like to have this leavers . can you please tell me how much have you paid for them ?
Just looked back. Israel... There are some lovely scooter shops in Palestine. Ask for Pete.
Really? in palestine? they have no proper roads to drive any kind of 2 wheels transport ... never saw a single motorcycle on their lands , how can any scooter shops , specially with rare items could survive there?
really hard to believe.
and about scooter shops in my area . YES , theres tons of them , but none of them have any cool items unless it's T-MAX (damn him again)
unfortunately our stupid nation loves everything that every one have ( its like 70% of cars on roads it's mazda 2\3\6, and bikes joyride and movie ) . people searching items with stable market . if it's not popular like hell , hard to find anything that's not stock .
-
I just don't understand!!! Israel is a modern nation that has everything we have in the US. Is it that no one will ship there? Perhaps someone here near you can order what you want, and Drop ship to you. Try looking up the items you want, and post them up. I have done this several times for others that could not arrange shipping.
-

I have not purchased them yet but the price I received in an email from NHRC was US$76 for the levers and US$12 for the bar ends. (plus shipping costs)
-
sent them a message , still no reply . hope they're alive

Zombie, were these the grips on a Downtown or other model? On the Downtown the left grip is easy to remove and replace but the right grip is vulcanized to the throttle tube. I had to carefully slice away the rubber using a razor blade and then sand off the remaining rubber. The new grips I used are 22mm/24mm ProGrip model #699, which are nice gel type grips that help a lot with vibration.
I purchased them at my local dealer but here is an online site that has a photo of the model 699 grips:
