New mini bike project

[fast92rs]

Just picked this guy up for $80. A little rough but pretty cool with that wide rear tire

Nice. All you need to do is inflate the tyre

I like the combination sprocket and brake. That's one fine-looking machine, BTW!

 

[fast92rs]

Got new tires on it today. Going to put on a tourqe coverter set up on it and wire a new kill switch.

Nice score. I'm envious as these old skool types are in short supply it seems.

I'm definitely a Briggs fan so I can only offer that maybe it needs a header with a chrome tip or similar and only because it's a bike. Makes it look right.

I have a raptor clone engine that will eventually go on this.

Clone is already sporting the much better, less-restrictive OEM straight muffler. You gonna run it on methanol?

Front fork looks a little bent.

 

[fast92rs]

No just 94 octane. I thought it was bent as well but when I Googled pics of other bikes of the same model tgey all looked the same as this so not sure.

Getting it all stripped done. Welded up a couple cracks and filled in all the holes I don't need.

Those front forks bent back from someone in the past going all Eveil Kneival on it?

 

[fast92rs]

Don't know. Got it like that. Seemed to ride ok like that. Will try and straighten it out when I finish stripping it down.

My build-off mini is the same way....of course....IT has a worn out scrub brake?

 

[Hellion]

With chains that long, I've seen some that have a tensioner wheel located on the frame halfway between the sprocket and the clutch...

 

[fast92rs]

I'm going to run a tourqe coverter to avoid running a long chain

Mock up of new rear fender

Nice

 

[fast92rs]

Getting the torque converter mocked up. I decided to use a pmr motor mount plate to lift the engine up.

Glad you grinded down those welds on the fender. You should give it a spray paint can job! Maybe black.
