Lifan LF200 GY-6, Should I desticker (poll with pics) - Page 2

If you wait to take the stickers off you may have a color difference. If the plastic is like some Honda plastic it will turn a pinkish color from the sun then where the stickers were will be darker. If you're ever going to want to peel them then do it now or forever hold your peace.

I appreciate all the input, keep it coming... I will think about this a little longer.

I did think about the plastic fading, but it is always parked indoors, and I am not going to leave it for too long before I make a decision so it should be fine.

New to the forum. Lately, I've been throwing around the idea of buying a China bike and have been browsing this forum for awhile.

If it were me I'd leave the stickers on with the exception of the web address. I like the fact that people don't recognize the brand names and want to know where it comes from. So, it's a bit of a conversation piece.

I bought my son a MIC kids quad (looks just like the youth Polaris Predator). Every time someone asks me about it (and it happens alot) and they find out how little I gave for it, well, lets just say you can see the wheels start to turn in their head. These machines require a skilled hand to keep running, so they are not for everybody. I say wear the brand name with pride! :wink:

I'm with K4 I like the last pic, take of the www sticker and be proud of the rest :P At least until they get scratched or worn, my 2 cents worth

Hey Silverado, welcome to the forum... It isn't about not wanting people to know where I got it from, it's just all three of the ones back there, none of them line up, and I think the big one in the middle is kind of crooked, but I would leave the one on the tank for sure... I may end up just leaving them all, or maybe just the www one, not sure yet.

thing is..if you leave the www link, they may stumble upon that list of crazy statements on the website. you know...our bikes are like scrap iron, etc. not good for the brand name. I hope someone that speaks chinese will send them an email and let them know that the english translations are horrible and misrepresent the product, after all, my bike aint iron..its some sort of steel. :P

Got it!

It's too bad they don't leave them off for the purchaser to put on. Some things you can just tell were slapped together on these machines.

They only slap the stickers on the rest is assembled with extreme care.

Skidder, I got it off ebay, but I actually have an extra if you're around here somewhere... Or I could mail it... You should post up some pictures of your bike, I saw a black one at the bike show, but it didn't have any lights or anything.
