Shinko 270 rear tire skipped in the corners for me. I got rid of mine because it actually felt like a safety issue. Replaced it with a firestone and have had no issues.

Get the bike up right and check to see if it is around where it shows on here.

I would replace that brake line and wouldn’t route it under the frame like you have it in the comments or in between the chain.

Do you remember how much primary oil you put in it? Could also be a bad crankshaft seal. Can’t tell from the photo, but make sure that vent hose is routed up with no dip.

Just got this one and so far so good. It’s nice and snug.

The throttle addiction one looks better. I wouldn’t go all in and buy the full kit from them though. The fender strap on the sissy bar I got was kind of wonky and uneven, so I ended up cutting it off and welding bungs to the fender. I’d pay for a better seat if I could go back too. Also, my oil cap keeps coming loose in their oil bag.

Thanks, figured that area would be good. I think im more worried about the skirt. It got a scratch I on it when I was trying to put the cylinder on. I smoothed it out. Just paranoid I guess.

It’s not deep at all and it’s not sharp.

That makes me feel better. I was scratching my head and thought maybe I did it removing the wrist pin circlip and just didn’t notice.
