So i see the Lifan disc brake front end on ebay and figure why not so i bid on it loose and get a second chance offer $275.00 + shipping so i go ahead and buy it.About a week later it comes missing the spacer fine i email the guy and he says no problem the spacer comes and it is too long the front axle is too long it sticks about half an inch past the fork,the speedo is the wrong type(Not the type with the black plastic housing)on and on it go's.

The kit is suppose to come with a 10mm front axle.. Not really a "Chinese" problem if the guy didn't include all the correct parts to fit your bike.. It's pretty much a crap shoot with these "kits".

What bike is this going on? What top clamps and bottom clamps are you using and can I see a link to the ebay auction? Do you have a pic of the speedo? Just tying to understand and help you out.. I've got some parts laying around, maybe I can help you...

No the diameter of the axle is correct 12mm it fits the diameter of the hole in the fork its that it is too long and sticks out. the spacer is to long also 25mm.And the speedo isnt the correct type (Although it will work)(And i wasnt knocking the chinese).I called Adrian at ooracing for an appropriate axle and spacer.Thanks for your offer though it is appreciated.
