[lukerogers94]

HI guys im new to this site and to minibikes, i saw the design for the mini chopper on this site and decided that i had to make it. i have access to some scrap metal for the frame as well as bender and a welder. but i was wondering if anyone had some measurments from when they were building their chopper that i could use. thanks alot guys

now does it have a tendancy to either turn in the wrong direction or wobble at high speeds?

choppers are a diff sort, but for regular bikes and bicycles they have formulae to aid you in designing for your needs.

I always say a good rule is to design your bike around the engine and tire size. Determine how much room you need for the engine, and how much for the tires and then determine how you will line it up to run your chain. Then build your frame and remember to factor in your seat and handle bar placement so you are comfortable riding it.
