The wiring harness for a horizontal engine pit bike will not work.
HS is either Hisun (i don't recall them bringing in dual-sports, but maybe they did), or the much more popular Hensim as you mentioned-- Hensim now known as RPS. There was a company called HiBird which had near identical clone bikes of the Lifan GY-2 model (as opposed to the VERY popular GY-5 model) and if memory serves me they were a contract manufacturer for Lifan, so it made sense that their bike was identical to the GY-2.

Hensim and HiBird were also two of the first companies to bring in dual-sports that were over 200cc to the US market (offered as '250'). The only other company that had bikes offered as '250' was Asiawing which seemed to be a one container special.
