LF200 tank grounded?

guttafixit · 04-19-2015, 06:56 PM

Hi, Is this bolt for a ground?

I grounded it thinking it might be.

And is there a spacer between the rear fender and the bolt hole? It's for the rear rack. It was all in a box when I picked up the bike. If anyone can take a close up pic of the rear rack that would be helpful.

Any help would be appreciated.

That bolt is for a rubber strap to hold the back of the tank down. Ground wires attach to where you have the other ground wire attached.

The hole in the rear fender cover is just for a button head screw to hold the cover in place. The rack attaches to where dual shocks would attach and where the muffler attaches as well as across from it.

Well looks like I will take that back off tomorrow. I will find a strap. Where does the other end hook to? I'll look on the web to see if I can find any pics.

Thank you

I can't picture it. I'll try to find a pic of it. The sides I can picture it but not where there is a gap between the fender and the bracket.

Thank you

The strap has a wire bail on both ends. The other end hooks to the little hook just in front of the upside down U shaped bracket that the seat hooks to.

If you can't figure it out or find a pic I'll go take one and post it.

On my Lifan, I cut a piece of tube to act as a spacer in the fender hole, and I bolted the rack there, along with the two upper shock mount studs. My bike has a monoshock, but the twin shock mounts are there.

My rack is custom, and may not mount like yours.
