Default Linhai, made by Yamaha??

Hi All!!
I'm a dude from Norway in Europe, and I wonder if you guys know anything about Linhai?
I've bought myself a "Linhai 300 4X4 Allroad", and wonder if you US-folks know anything about it in the States?
I'm rather keen on getting some accessories for it, and wonder if you can supply me with any links or web-adresses etc.?
I've posted the same question in "Kids/Other ATV"-section, but no one seems to know...
Here's a pic;

Is this a Yamaha-product???

Regards
Roy

Thanks a lot!
I couldn't get the "Old thread"-link working, but the Manco-site popped up right away.
Is Linhai sold as Manco or Talon in the US??

Roy

Looking at the pic, I would say its a export or econo version of a Polaris, the plastic seems to be from polaris, the gear shifter and front hubs, look to be polaris parts also.

Polaris, you say, cc1999?? That thought have'nt even crossed my mind...
The official importer of Linhai in Norway, claims that Linhai is more than 40% owned by Yamaha, and some websites refer to Linhai as "Linhai-Yamaha"....
I myself can't see any resemlance to any of Yamahas products, but maybe Polaris... Who knows...
Anyone else??

Regards

Roy

Here is a link to the model of polaris that still uses that plastic

I think if you look close at the plastic you will see it is the same plastic polaris uses, note the seats and gas caps. Now where they get different is the inserted round headlights and the pods they are mounted in, but on the Polaris there is one of there front storage racks with the lights mounted out in front of it. I am sure it shares allot parts with polaris. Any idea where to find the specs on the Linhai like bolt patterns on the hubs.
