ok here is what you hopefully wanted to see :P



This one is a virtual reality video, for the best experience view on a modern smart phone with the youtube app and you will be able to look around by moving the phone. you can view on a pc by clicking and dragging the screen.




More to come as the drive train is upgraded!

Haven't seen you here for a while! Maybe you have been here, but posting here only? I just happened to notice your name and think; "the guy who dropped a 400cc in a LIfan enduro!"

It has been a few years! I haven't done much with chinese bikes since the old 400. I figured there were probably a few people on here that wondered if this project was ever finished, so I figured I should post a few updates now that I once again have some time to work on it.

I am impressed how much it appears the chinese bike scene has changed, don't see much mention of lifan dual sports anymore...

Lifan is coming back to the US any month now--actually they are back, two of their bikes are EPA certified, but I don't believe any are in dealers, yet.

They are bringing back a boring, but seemingly high quality, 200cc enduro. http://americanlifan.com/

interesting looks like they at least completely re did the body, hopefully they got their suspension pivots in the right place too! haha.

Is that an old FWD Chev sedan, like a Lumina?
