Almost done!!

I have been working on this for about a month. It was one of those mini Harleys.

You need a cooler fuel tank. Just Kidding.

Nice minibike

Changed the rear end.

I was having lots of trouble keeping the chain on when I hit a bump even with a tensioner. I saw an earlier post of the same bike without the reared. So I removed it, cut and welded the axel hangers to the frame. This short end the chain nearly 14 inches. Now the chain stays on
I will be welding triangle plates to brace the axel hangers soon ( wanted to see if it worked first). Now it even looks more like a classic mini bike.

This is the photo from " electric Harley gets motor" that gave me the idea. It's the same mini bike.

I think I will change my seat to look like this one also.

A short jackshaft at the pivot point would have solved the derailing problem.

Looks like the sprocket will be hitting the ground in left hand turns.

The rear tires 13 inches the sprocket clears on left turns. I could have used a jack shaft but I want this to be as basic as possible and I like having it look more like a "classic" mini bike.
