So is it coming to the Dragon ?

That's next month. He'll have another project by then.

Think it may well be !!
Been neglecting the Cub as of late so feel a bit more confidant with the Wave. Hope i'm not proven wrong

How does it compare against a 110 Lifan Steve? Any idea?

Bogger

Sorry not got a clue as i have never owned a Lifan of any type.
I am convinced it will better the 110cc conversions on the OE engine though.

The improvements are related to the combination of FI, 4 speed and different engine power characteristics. Mr H has done it again getting it all perfectly matched
As of course he had previously done (a good few years ago) on on the 12v C90

Should make for an interesting opportunity to compare on the way to Wales.

It will be the 110 (big bore club!!) comparison run. Any other 110 owners from the SE want to come

Just found this thread and enjoyed your write up on the bike. I bought my wave back in June, still got my cub mind. I like your touring spec wave, still havnt managed to get a screen for mine yet..

[stevew]

That screen is a Puig one but it's available in two heights. I got the smaller as I have an aux deflector for the top but if you don't have that I suggest the bigger (higher) one. About £60 I think. eBay is your friend and don't be afraid of ordering it from mainland Europe. Often cheaper but a 4 - 5 day delivery.

I can chip in, having both a 110 Wave (2017 model) and a Lifan 110 powered bike.

The 110 Wave has more lower end torque, noticeable but not huge, and that's likely because the longer stroke (55.6 mm vs. 50 mm).

The 110 Lifan I have (I've had two), isn't nearly as smooth as the Honda in terms of shifting, but durability hasn't been a big problem for me. Granted though, my Lifan is a 2016, and pre 2016 models I've seen often have bad 3rd gears after a few thousand km.

In my preference, I like the long stroke 110 (genuine Honda) a lot more over the Lifan 110 for a commuter because of the extra torque, but since engine mounts aren't the same though, unfortunately without cutting the frame up on a Cub/C90, you can't drop one in if it's post 2006 MY.
