Cool Boy decal (lifan)

Jim · 03-30-2007, 08:34 PM

Hey I'm new here... I have a lifan 200 gy5. On the side plastics, top it has a "cool boy" decal... however I guess this is from an old model because it has a different decal over top... is this common? What I'm wondering is if I were to order new pieces for the side if theyd wind up with stickers on top of each other too.

Don't know but nice pic! Looks like fun!

If you don't want the stickers, peel them off. They probably have a clearcoat over the top and will leave an outline.
If that bugs you then get some 400 grit wet sand paper and wet sand down the clearcoat so all is smooth. Repaint and if you want, clearcoat. Just use some rustoleum or a plastic formulated paint.
It is surprising how nice it looks when you are done.

Well actually, I want the sticker that is ontop, but it has an old coolboy sticker under it

Was just wondering how common that was.

Also, rather then starting a second thread, does anyone know where you can get green plastics that fit the lifan? Apparently it only comes in red and blue (and yellow maybe?), but I saw green ones on ebay, and now my dad wants green plastics for when he gets his...

Thanks

ME TOO! I stopped at a Kawi dealer to see if they had Kaw Green but they didn't.

I may do it later if I still feel the urge

Well, also for not risking to create another thread, I was reading the tech info... prep...

Replace tubes The tube quality in these bikes is poor. If you intend to do any off-road riding replace the factory tubes with a quality aftermarket product.

what is it refering too as tubes? I think maybe I am being very thick here... (also not too mechanical)

Also, I;ve got one of those "helmet" stickers, that says We dont care how they do it in Japan, which is more typical for people with american machines (harley, victory, etc), I thought would be funny somewhere on my chinese bike :mrgreen:

I'm assuming the brake lines...

They are referring to the inner tubes in the tires.
