Been a while but I am still here and still have the bike and am getting around to getting a few things done.
Anyone have a rear rack they would sell me cheap? Thanks KF |

Install the Google Chrome web browser, and set it to automatically translate foreign languages. The visit www.taobao.com, and use the correct search terms. Besides using English search terms, you can ask HumanBeing for the Chinese characters in the following thread.

so far so good - but I do not know which one of the racks is correct for my bike. Any advice on which one to order for the Lifan 200 gy? I figure most of the bikes use the same one.
Thanks for the advice. |

Determine the rack mounting points for your specific bike. Typically, China bikes have a standoff that extends vertically through the rear fender, and that captures a drilled flat plate in the carrying portion of the rack. From there, the mounting legs of the rack can either be short (to mount near the signals) or long (to mount where upper shock mounts would be, if it was a twin shock bike). If you have two studs near where upper shock mounts would be, and they serve no other purpose, that's your mounting leg point.
The good news is that the prices are ridiculously low, so you can afford to buy a couple of different styles. If you have access to a welder, you can make any of them fit.
