I know they've been around for a while but I'm talking about the 120 dream engine on dratv.

Well I guess no one goes to dratv anymore? No one here has a lifan 120 dream engine?

I havenot heard of any problems with the Lifans, running some myself no issues. I am ordering that engine next week for a CT70 project, will let you know. I say go for it, best deal I found so far.

The Lifans are probably the best bang for your buck on the market. I have several buddies that run them in their pitbikes/ATC70's/ They love them. The electric start can be accomplished, but you have to mount the CDI, Starter Relay, Battery, etc. I have an electric start 110 in my 70 before I sold it. Great boost in power!

You should be able to run a Honda ATC110 exhaust I believe.

You can make a battery box to fit inside the frame.

You will need to use a pitbike exhaust orthe Cobra under exahust. Asfor the battery. youmake up a mount on the skid plate, you have to remove the cross member inside the frame.

Blue27 that is a nice looking setup for sure! Thanks for the pics! Will a crf 50 exhaust work ok? I don't want to have to cut away any of the fender plastic. What amp battery do I need? Thanks again!!
