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.

They should have used the water cooled 6 speed motor
in the duel sport/trail bike....

Yes, I don't "expect" much from this 14 hp 63 mph moto

:doh:

That 360 video was so cool! What camera are you using?

A Samsung Gear 360


so far the new drive train is coming along nicely, I will try and take some pictures today.
