My Minibike!

[EagleTalons]

Is traveling to me via UPS right now. It's a kit. I'm not that great of a welder and I wanted something nice to putter around on. Coming from MFG, can't wait to see it!

I'm buying the engine (6.5 blue clone) from Harbor Freight. It hasn't came yet and sounds like its gonna be a few days behind my bike... Anyone know any good places to get mods for it? I have some sort of slide card I could possibly use on it...

 

[Raywelder]

Got a link to the kit you got,
While we are waiting?

 

[EagleTalons]

Yep!

Just for kicks, I put the GC in it.

What would be some good 10" or 8" tires? These 5" are a little too small.

Hey, Nice bike! I like how you layed everything out neatly on the floor. Nice work!

DO NOT GET THOSE

Pay extra for a good set of wheels, meant for a minibike.

Take it from the person who blew 1, and had 3 others snap off at the bearing holding place.

They're too wobblely and weak, A bit dangerous if the front one was to ever break.

surpluscenter.com has good tires for cheap.

I think that frame looks really cool.

 

[porsche930dude]

thats cool. Id use the tires that came with it. Before you buy more id mock everything up and see what it looks like. Afterall it is a MINI bike. X2 on the HF jobs being junk

Frame Primer

It's all put together now. I wish I would have take more pics, but I really wanted to drive it! Also I need a little bit bigger wheels so the sprocket doesn't hit rocks and such. I want to be able to drive it over to the feedlot and back.

Thats what I've been trying to tell you guys!

I broke several the same way, Tsc happens to sell them too.

Sharp bike btw! color is awesome.

 

[kimo]

Awsome ! Like the orange
Just a lil question, whats the top speed it can go?

 

[EagleTalons]

Right now it can go about 20mph, but I'ma switch up the tires and sprocket to do 30-35 mph. That GC is sooo smooth!

 

[jetlag]

Aww, when you first took off I thought you were going to jump that pile at the end and go through the doors.

That would have been insane and you would have been really cool.

I have the briggs on it now. Has a little more vibration than the GC. Just placed my order for some bigger tires. gonna have to relocate the gas tank on the briggs and trim the spacers a little. So excited! Should be able to do 35 when I get these bad boys on it! Also should be able to corner hardcore without digging the sprocket into the dirt.
