That 18 will be a very tight fit. Hope it works because I could use a little higher gearing on all my clones. I left them all in North Carolina and am now in Florida for the winter riding my Kawasaki W650.

Going to add a 2015 Ural cT sidecar soon. I sold my Ural Yamal several months ago.

Lucky you being in Florida, wish i was somewhere warm!

The parts arrived yesterday but dont think i will be fitting them this weekend. Was out in Wednesday and managed to slip over in a supermarket car park and fracture my wrist and finger. My right arm is now in plaster :-(

trexuk,
Florida is nice riding weather but lacks curves and elevation changes.
Tough fall to cause that injury. Hope you heal quickly.

Thanks Barnone.

At lest you can still ride, straight and flat or not.

Sorry to read this, trex! A friend of my wife just did the same thing 5 days ago (she broke her wrist bowling!? when she slipped and fell) She is getting surgery...

Ouch. Hope you heal quickly. I fell hard in my driveway last weekend. I caught my toe and went down on my left wrist like a flyswatter. I didn't break anything, but it was swollen and sore for a few days. Getting old sucks.

Just aswell really, if i had fitted the new parts to the Lifan i would have been desperate to road test it,nand its been raining all week here. I hate winter!

Managed to get some disposable gloves on and get out in the garage. Fitted the 18 tooth on the front, after a bit of an altetation. The chain was slightly fouling the casing around the neutral switch. I did a bit of careful filing and removed a millimetre or three, it fits fine now. Trouble is the poor weather and my cast is stopping me trying it out. I couldnt fit the new chain yet as i couldnt find my splitter, the tool gremlins must have moved it :-(

It's amazing what you can work through with pain and broken bone implements (you--cast, me--shoulder brace) when you put your mind to it. A few painkillers, and you are back to normal!! LOL. What chain do these clones use? 420 like the pit bikes?
