Got an engine for my minibike.....but I'm afraid I may have to slightly modify the minibike to get it to fit......

 

[firemanjim]

YOU gotta mini bike now too!? If you say $20, I'm headed to your house to kick your ........
That will fit in there just fine! I see plenty of room to make that a nice death trap, err, I mean death defying ride....... What is that engine,Doug?

 

[mckutzy]

Can I suggest...

Yes....I have a minibike....paid $30....Dennis' daughter's at the swap meet....I think it's a Honda clown....maybe more that 212 cc.....

Seriously.....It's a Honda bike engine.....I spotted it in my neighbor's back yard.....so other than snapping a pic....it's just a prop in his backyard....so I don't know.....

 

[firemanjim]

Was hoping it was yours...... That's a big Honda V-twin.... Nice.......

 

[Poboy kartman]

Can I suggest...

I'll do that.....I need a good centrifugal clucth tho.....

 

[BirdFanatic]

The good old eyeball fools everyone.

Jim....you're going to be even more upset when I show you all the nice features of this fine machine......

First off....check out the "springer" forks.....See how they are bent slightly backward to counteract the weight of a heavier engine ???

 

[firemanjim]

O I already saved a pic..... I do like it..... I'll find me one...... All in due time..... :toetap05::toetap05:

 

[Poboy kartman]

Now..to the rear end...note how the rear sprocket has been upgraded to a double roller Chevy timing chain sprocket......to handle the extra hp.....

 

[Poboy kartman]

And....quick change rear racing axle.......note the thorrington bearing....this was quality modifications from start to finish.....

 

[firemanjim]

Doug, are you F with me? Really? That's the sprocket? That's FAR OUT! I love it! Oh that gives me good ideas! Thank you sir for that one! My uncle has a bunch of used sets laying around......

 

[Poboy kartman]

Not easy to seein the pic.....but also on that rear axle assembly...was a spacer....pure copper....1/2" id...available in 10' lengths at Home Depot in the plumbing dept.......see????? Nothing but the best on this build.....

 

[Poboy kartman]

Sorry for the multiple posts....my phone is being contrary......note the space between the slightly worn scrub brake (in fully depressed position..)....and rear wheel tread.....plenty of room for upgrading to the larger HF wheels.....

 

[Poboy kartman]

Finally.....and this is just pure overkill......but shows why if I can just grind down those top bars.....this baby can handle the hp!!!!!

The front......the tree pivot bolt has been replaced with a 3/8" socket extension and welded in for that extra measure of safety......

You don't find minibikes like this everyday!!!!!!!

 

[Poboy kartman]

Was hoping it was yours...... That's a big Honda V-twin.... Nice.......

Do you want to buy it???? I'm closer to this guy than my brothers...
