If you plan on going flat out for a road trip might be worth looking at an oil cooler. I've melted a piston with the chinese motors the oiling system is quite basic. It won't make it go faster, but it may avoid the oil overheating.
Have to say, I have a lot of respect for you for just telling it how it is with the Chinese engines/bikes. I've had exclusively Honda bikes for 20 years, but in 2023 I finally just couldn't justify the price vs quality of what they were putting out anymore (especially regarding the Navi and the XR150L.) I bought a Lifan Xpect 200cc fuel injected Enduro bike and have been absolutely blown away by it's features, build quality and value. The bike is a quarter of the price of similar big 4 bikes, brand new. And I'm hearing that the new Lifan KPX 250 is not just equal to, but completely outclasses the big 4 250cc bikes in terms of build quality, despite being a 1/3rd of the price new. That's insane, and it truly shows that the times are changing regarding the Chinabikes. They really are the same, if not better.
those forks and triple tree look to be out of a xl 185. I have and 1984 CT110 AG and a 1981 Xl185. Also I'm not sure how the lifan 125 engine is mounted but it is not a perfect bolt alignment to the original 110 honda engine...
I know Herb Uhl. I used to go mountain trail riding with his son Bill Uhl many years ago.
You know honda is short charging you (rip u off royal) when a chinese engine outperforms the stock one easily.
I love your content man. Watching here from the PH🇵🇭. I hope you can do a review on TVSXL100 India's no.1 moped🛵
Are you from SA? You sound Aussie but it's an unusual accent lol
CT110 chopper edition! Love seeing these things well-used and loved!
Do you ever have problems with the electrical system on those Chinese motors??
Interview with the Honda Trail inventor/creator from USA:

Great Video. You've really nailed the pacing. I still wonder about the reliability of these Lifan engines. I know some that ride CT110's with swapped engines around the world. While I'm not a fan of Chinese engines, these seem pretty solid, especially given that most original CT110 engines are pretty worn.
I love your content and I'm a supscriber.
