Hi - I have a 2007 Helix. Can you tell me where you got a "Gates belt" and why you didn't go with stock? How much is it? My clutch is now "metal on metal" How did you break off rear hub (I do not own an air wrench) and how did you put it back on? Thanks for any help.

[origionaldz]

@alosborntigard Hello.  I got the gates belt because it was about $40 cheaper than the oem belt. I can't recall where I got the belt from, if I think of it I will let you know. What do you mean your clutch is metal on metal? By the rear hub do you mean the clutch bell (rear) or the variator fan (front pulley)? I took mine off with an impact wrench. If you do not have one, you are going to have to hold the clutch bell with a strap wrench or similar and tap your ratchet with a hammer.

Try some :"Forever Black" on the plastic bits. It will get rid of the gray junk. I have the same model and year.

[origionaldz]

@Forensource Where can one purchase forever black? It's not my main bike but it would be nice to tune up the plastic parts again.

[Forensource]

Get some stuff called :Forever Black" it will turn the grey plastic bits black again.

sounds great, looks great red too

[origionaldz]

@xjgseven Thanks. Hard to tell in the vid but its faded in a few places.

I have a few routes for traffic conditions but the longest is 26. I have seen a couple of these plus the qlink commander clone around town. There have also been a couple of Reflexes on craigslist.

[origionaldz]

@troutdaletim Get the honda version don't get the chinese copy. Although they are pretty close the knockoffs use subpar components. If you don't like to work on it more than you ride it get a honda.

[troutdaletim]

I am seriously considering this one for my daily commute in the Portland, Oregon, area. 6' 2" and 240 pounds. I should do okay? Two not so major hills to contend with.

[origionaldz]

@troutdaletim I'm 6'4" and more weight and I can take the bike up to 65mph with not too much trouble. How far is your commute? Even for a bike this old, it's been stone reliable and gets great gas mileage.

[3WHEELERMAN8483S]

if i had that i'd ride it to a biker bar lol

[origionaldz]

@3WHEELERMAN8483S LOL I've driven past a few and got less than promising looks, thankfully my size keeps me outta trouble. I've got the honda shadow now with straight pipes and the harley guys at the harley dealership are not equally impressed LOL.

[truecreation]

@origionaldz its dirrerent in the uk these are rare so you get alot of stares but good ones and compliments its all good lol

[origionaldz]

@truecreation I understand that. Every time a new toy shows up at the house the wife expects me to get rid of another one lol. What I would really like from the UK is an 80's yamaha RD350 or 400. They stopped importing them here in the late 70's.

[truecreation]

bro nice scoot anyone who doesnt appreciate the helix hasnt been on one i have one in the uk and apart from having to have all my custom parts shipped over from the states its easily the most reliable and comfortable bike i have been on and i have had quite a few from superbikes to tourers.good luck with the sale bro ..personally i would keep it :)

[origionaldz]

@truecreation Too many bikes lol. I do love it but its a bit small for me. The wife was gonna try to learn how to ride it but she would rather ride with me on my bike.

[Fr0z3nFr0g]

[Fr0z3nFr0g]

[origionaldz]

@allater3 Was looking for $1200 obo and I am located right outside of Philadelphia

[allater3]

@origionaldz darn, a little far for me, otherwise that's a good deal

[origionaldz]

[allater3]

@origionaldz I'm from north NH, only thing is i don't have 1,200$ at the moment, not to get your hopes up =(. Just saying that's a good deal.

[origionaldz]

@yamahagytrracing21 LOL I've got too many bikes as it is. I just got the huge honda cruiser and the xr650l, which I think I'm keeping. Since I blew the polaris up I need money to fix that LOL until I can afford to buy a newer quad.
