El Lobo 6" Mini Motor Bike

[bob58o]

Paint came today.
Matches pretty well for picking based off online pictures only.
Seems like I need more red in my blue.

So when you going to build a Golf Cart for the forum? Or at least show us some pictures of your Predator Golf Kart.

Donut videos!!!(

You know, I appreciate you asking. It's an excellent question. My problems are: a)no time, b)conflicting visions, c)no time. Perhaps I should start a thread to discuss the vision part.

That paint is close, but close can look hideous.

"that red looks hideous."
"well it's blue so..."

The blue is close enough to work on the tank mount which isn't even really visible. Next will be the tubing that goes over the threaded rod for these foot pegs.

I've got the tubing, the rod, the pegs, and the 3/8-24 SS jam nuts will be here tomorrow.

Going to the hardware store to buy 3/8-24 nuts today.

I think this will be alright.
Might need to raise them up (or put the pegs on the top rod) if going to make tight turns?

Man that's some good looking carpet.

Paint booth is versitile.

The 8" kick stand might work. The little guy will not.

 

[bob58o]

Did I mention how much I hate these peg clamps.
Blue looks ok though.

 

[bob58o]

Not sure 1 bolt is going to hold very well????
I'll be easy with it, because that is how it's going to get attached to the mounting plate.

 

[bob58o]

There is probably a reason people don't paint TC backplates. I don't know the reason. I'm going to paint mine. It might look stupid. We will see.

 

[bob58o]

I think I like it???
I don't hate it.
I can live with it.

 

[bob58o]

So need to get some 3/8 lock washers, even though people say split-washers are useless, to finish the pegs. And need to find a eye glasses repair screwdriver for the set screw in the cable barrel end.

Need a bolt and nut for the kickstand.

And I NEED my seat to get here so I can install the gas tank.

Looks good...
Looks drivable...
Looks almost done...
Looks like the gas tank fell off...
Looks like theirs a flat tire...

 

[bob58o]

Thanks...
Haven't put a chain on yet...
Is about done...
Tank came off so I can install new seat. Hopefully Monday...
Whose flat tire? <-Sorry jokes based off grammatical mistakes are lame af.

But no flat tire. Not that I can see

Functional, but not ideal, kick stand installed. I feel like a strong gust of wind from the rear will push the bike forward enough to retract the stand. Needs more angle on its dangle.

I'm 6.75/10 happy with the kick stand. Good fit for choosing a product for a different bike, but by no means perfect.

Edit: 7.25/10 happy.

This is the one I used.

The stand was was tapped for a bolt, but the threads were jacked or maybe it was 9mm which my hardware store doesn't carry. Not sure why it was tapped anyway. Drilled out the threads and used 3/8-24 bolt x 0.75" long and locknut.

Speaking of tire pressure...

Bling - BL-BL-BLING!!! lol
Hope stealing these off bikes as a kid isn't punishable by eternal ****ation in ****.

Those words shouldn't be censored as far as I'm concerned.

Foot Pegs are Done!
Remind me not to do that again.
