Looks like you are getting along fairly well :wink:

You seem to be pretty motivated, so you should be able to get it dialed-in.

That harness doesn't look quite as intimidating while coiled up on the ground, as it does coiled around the bike frame 8O

Good progress, keep us posted,

I think you'll find the chain won't line up, I believe that Hooper Imports have had a special sprocket made to rectify this.

Jonathan.

it looks like the chain lines up but its a 428 sprocket on the lifan and needs a 520, its a pain in the Hoo-Hoo :lol: to find parts for lifan around here.

Yup, definatly looks better is black! Congrats on a nice swap!

All in all do you figure more or less power with the China-built engine? Less/More Speed?

Thanks for your post!
