This is turning into a great thread without a doubt, I have 2 hummers, well 1 is my brothers (black) and I have the orange one which I received in the last week.
The 2nd one (mine) I have noticed a couple of things especially the rear braided brake line which I've cable tied to the swing arm, they must have changed them somewhere along the way.
All in all I'm very happy with them, whilst you go into bike shops and they say they don't deal with chinese crap the same principles apply to motovert's, pitpro's etc, hard to tell the difference really.
I'll pop some pics up tomorrow, we'll be more than likely heading off riding.
Hey Bladey...welcome to Hummer family...hope you have as much fun on these bikes as we have been.
Cheers Doc

Allied....what model air filter is that?...is it just a 43mm pod filter? Great solution...I think you may had beaten Rod to the bar on that one
Archie.....Xlnt work mate...that looks heaps better. I wish I had that info before I did mine. I took off my line and turned it upside down. Seems to be the solution as well, but then I had to bleed the brakes...and yep you guessed it...more drama.
The bleed nipple on the rear brakes is at the lowest point of the caliper so the air travels away from it. You have to take off the caliper to bleed it.....took me a while to figure that one too....this bike is a real challenge I tell you.
Thanks Doc, I too had the thought of doing what you have done but was worried about all the bleeding to be done.I thought my line cleared the wheel until yesterday where I bounced the bike with all my weight and u guessed it, so I scratched my head for awhile until the lilltle light came on.

If nothing else this bike will keep my brain active...boy I love a challenge but this thing is more time consuming than kids.
Anyways its great to ride in the rough stuff...kinda like a BMW...nice and soft suspension.
Anyone have C spanner that fits the shock....or a solution for adjusting the pre load?
Yes Doc its just fit so good. I cut down a piece of plastic pipe from the plumbing shop and pushed it into the air induction tube. Nice and tight fit. oiled up the pod,make sure you dont fit it straight away. What a mess!!!. Take your pod to the plumbers so you get the right size. Works great and once you put the cover on no one would know.
First is the neat 16mm tube plugs I purchased from Bunnings.
You can see the top 2 fitted - and I also fitted 2 more underneath the rear of the sump where the tube runs out.
The second photo shows my rear brake line - and why it won't catch on the wheel.
First, the line is longer and snakes out.
Second, my retaining clip has been fitted level with the tyre - so holds the line away from the potential problem.
Last photo is my rear whell set-up.
As you can see, the wheel will not contact the muffler - irrespective of wheel travel. I believe this is to do with the positioning and angle of the muffler bracket.
I'm going to take my time over the air filter box. The air filter is part of the fuel/air delivery system and can affect the performance of the carbie.
I think the snorkel conector might actually be restricting air flow - plus I want to get an oiled foam filter in their which is an effective filter - but at the same time allows good ait flow.
Just wanted too say the level of info on this thread is a credit to you guys ... I don't know much about these things as they are not really my cup of tea (they'll peel me off my yz 2 banger one day )
but alot of crew seem to be buyin them ....so thanks guys ....just goes to show what a little knowledge and effort can do.
Thanks again ride on boys ya killin it.

Thanks Dread - you'll have to buy a Hummer (or Kuda Pro as they're now called) from Atomik and join in - that's if after reading this thread, you still think they're a good buy lol.
Actually they're fun to work on and will perform surprisingly well once the work is done. They're also cheap to buy and maintain.
Boys - I had a look at the air filter today and decided to take a more minimalist approach to Allied.
Comments and work done are as follows:
1. There is a small gap between the metal screen filter and the Carbie air inlet pipe - which allowed me to put some thin bolts, nuts and washers through the joining flanges and make them a tighter (dust resistant) fit.
2. I had a look at the snorkel hole at the top of the filter box and decided it was too small. It should be big enough to allow air flow totally unhindered - which means it has to be at least as big as the outlet - so I enlarged it a bit.
3. I replaced the shitty and badly cut cheap foam with a high quality filter foam, cut to an exact fit. I then used Bel-Ray air filter oil (nice and sticky) to oil it.
4. I replaced the shitty filter box screws (which cut their way loose in 10 seconds) with slightly longer and fatter self tappers. This holds the box cover a lot more securely.
Fingers crossed - it should filter well and give me a bit more power & throttle response.
Hey rodbox look at the photos carefully on that ProX there is only one photo containing the OHC photos all the other photos are of the pushrod engine! I would still ask for confirmation from the seller regarding this matter to make sure you are getting what you pay for.
