As the title says - I got my throttle installed and working on the harbor freight 6.5hp 197cc blue engine Not the best setup, but it does work. Need to make sure it stays working :) All I have left is my brakes and getting the chain links connected then this is ready to drive.... :)

From what I have read so far - Seems a lot of the frame size and what size of engine is all based on rear tire size. What size of tire is to big for a mini-bike? This will be driven mostly on the street (not off road). I'd like to make one using a car tire but unsure how that would work...

I'm excited and wanted to show some progress photo's. Once I figure out how to do the throttle & brake cable and connect the chain links, it is drivable. :cheers2: After sitting on it, I am tempted to chop the legs on the stool to make it a bit lower. Anyway - Lots of fun, can't wait to figure...

Cart building is new to me. I have been for a few months slowly working on a bar stool racer and now need to mount the brake band. Do I just mount one end to a bracket or do I need to do something different? Also - Someone once posted that I need to make sure I have the band mounted in the...

I am trying to finish the assembly of my bar stool go cart. Problem is I am using a 1 inch steel bar for steering and I can't find a brake handle lever to fit the 1 inch bar I already welded on the steering column. Would someone post some links where I can buy a brake lever that I can mount on...

I am rebuilding a pocket bike and having trouble figuring out how to disassemble the rear end. Here are some pics of what I am looking at.....

I want to do a different tank on my bar stool racer than the one on my Harbor Freight 6.5hp engine. Is there a very inexpensive keg type resource that someone can point me to a website where I can convert one of these to a tank? OR How hard is it to make a fuel tank? Anyone with some...

I want to learn how motorcycles are built. I want to build a mini-chopper and eventually a full size chopper. Been practicing my welding with a bar stool racer frame to get practice I need to build a motorcycle frame. I bought a really rusted out / beat up X7 pocket bike for $50 off Craigs...

I have been asking questions here on the forum for a few weeks and want to thank you all for the help. I wanted to build a mini-chopper but never welded before. So my first build is a bar stool racer that I plan to taking to 75 & 80 dragway. My brother races a 72 Nova there...
