Couple Lifan Mods

Replaced the Stock handlebar ( ugly..) turnsignals with some sportbike replacements

Then added EMGO handguards... Had to remove the crossbar on the handlebar to get them to fit.

Can you post a picture with taken from the front where you can see the total change?
Are the rubber pieces flexible enough to withstand being dropped on?
Where did you get the lights? From what kind of bike.

Also what brand and size of hand guard/bark buster's did you get to put on there. I want to put some on but they always seem to be sized for a particular bike.

Thanks!

I got the turnsignals off of Ebay... They are small universal rubber mounted type. Seller is Luckybike-accessories They are small enough that laying the bike down on the side, they are shadowed by the handlebar to the wheel, if that makes sense to you. If you ran up against a tree, you might hit these before the handlebar though.

They are rubber mounted so all I did was to drill out the hole where the round reflector was screwed in ( thru the welded on nut on the backside too) and mount these up. Took 30 minutes for both sides.

I'll send pictures of the bike later.

The handguards are from EMGO

I purchased them off of Thumpertalk.com. Here is the link.

Blimp,
First off, Awsome mod!!! My GY has a threaded hole on the same side of the bottom triple that I'm sure was the original mounting point for the winkers, mines grey market...May want to PM Shea as he is looking for the handguards? Looks great and functional...

YES, those are exactly what I'm looking for. That exact kind. I painted my bike black, and the paint keeps chipping off the darn handguards! How the heck do you order them off that link??

Were they easy to attach them to the bike??? Seems like it would've been easy
