Got another question..... bad news.
Well I just seem to be full of questions, but you guys always seem to have good answers.
![]() I let my wife take the Maxfine out the other day for a spin & somehow she managed to let the bike get away from her. ![]() Here is the before pic, I will upload how it looks now as soon as I get my camera working right. ![]() Does anyone know where I can find a replacement taillight/license plate assembly? I've seen several on Ebay, but the all seem to be made for taillights located under the fender. My fender has a raised section with 3 holes to mount the assembly. You can see it pretty clearly from this pic's angle. If I can swap on a different rear fender, that would be the best solution I'm thinking. Anyone have some suggestions? |

That rear fender looks alot honda. Like XL. 1970s/80 vintage.
Sorry about the speedo cable, but now seeing your bike I don't know if it would fit. AZ200 had one of those. Not real common. Allen

Past experience with speedo cables shows that the chinese used many different ones.
Looking at some late 70s honda xls the fender and light look to be real close. Likely a good match. Honda didn't use that large extension. The maxfine was a closer match to the xl than most GY2 variants. The metal tank and seat had the same lines. Allen

A speedo cable off a Roketa worked great for me, But mine was a 200cc trailmaster. These bikes are rare now and a fender will be very hard to find. They were unique in the chinese DS world. You're going to have to find a close enough match perhaps off a honda and do some man work. I would scour craiglist for a broken one and see if they would part it out.
Oh and by the way, These bikes look great without the gray plastics on the tank :wink:

If it were me , I would first just remove the fender extention and see how it looks. It is a common early modification many peeple do.

Wow, I really wish I wouldn't have scored a rarity, lol. Anyways, I'll try the Roketa speedo cable. Worst thing that could happen is it doesn't fit & I'm out a few bucks.
I'll check around for some Honda XL parts & see if I can make them fit, but don't worry the wife already ripped most of the fender extension off! I think there's one small piece still connected & the bolts are still hanging. :( If I can't find a Honda XL taillight assembly, I'm going to buy the one posted in the link above & make it work. So AZ200cc, is there anything I can do for this bike other than ride it? Since it's now getting tore into, I might as well go ahead with performance goodies & whatnot. Also still wondering if this is a 150cc or 200cc engine. I'm still pretty sure it's a Lifan motor, everything looks identical.... :? |

Going with the badging I would venture its a 150. Also look at the lower portion of the cylinder on the left side. The displacement is stamped there alot of times.
