General Discussion / Shad part for XTown 300i
« on: April 25, 2019, 07:57:19 PM »
I've been unable to get a Shad Backrest Fitting kit (K0GD16RV) and Shad is not saying when or if they will ship from Spain.    Can anyone recommend an aftermarket supplier that may be able to get this part or find one in a warehouse somewhere?  The one company I was going though had me hanging for over a month....

Thanks

Have you got the AK550 in the US yet? That would be the replacement, I guess :)
Not yet, and my dealer doesn't know if or when they will bring it here.  I have too many young kids at home so I have no plans for LD riding.  The 300 is great across town.

I have owned a 2008 Kymko 500i scooter since 2009 and have never experienced any starting problems in the 9 years I have owned it.
I did replace the battery the second year of ownership and installed a sidecar that same season and I live in the north (Canada) in the Toronto area.
I generally ride until the end of October then winterize it and store for the winter in my garage. I do keep it plugged into a Deltran battery charger when
I am not riding so that may help eliminate the starting problem that I hear about on the scooter forums I am connected with.

I usually ride weekends with my wife in the side car to tour numerous backroads in southern Ontario.
You could say I love my Kymko 500i scooter which has been problem free for the past 9 years.

Tom, great photos!  I love that sidecar setup also!  What brand is that?  I am only 1 month into Kymco ownership on my X-Town 300 and for the price I definitely made the right choice.

They don't sell anything larger than 300 cc right now in Florida but at $4k the X-Town is  a winner. 

So are there are any other goodies you have on your Grand Tourer ??

I vote for X-Town 300i.  Just bought one on Saturday, after not owning a motorcycle for 20 years.  I'm very pleased with the price/performance of this model for my usage.

I ordered a Shad backrest from Amazon UK, but the bracket is not in stock and I can't find it anywhere.

I thought there would be a lot more accessories available but I can't find them.
