One Bad Piglet

[Denny]

I’m watching, I’m watching!

 

[Grizzlymi]

I like the atv lift idea!

 

[Edwin Spangler]

Love the different settings..

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Lever and filter came in.
Got them installed right quick. No drama with those parts. But,
See if you can spot the problem now.



I kept adjusting the cable and it would work once or twice then get loose again.

Pulled the cable and reset it at the caliper end and again one or two pulls and it was slack again.

Back to the part store....



I also cut some tape that was holding the cable. That was some mighty good tape.

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

OK. OK. OK.
I know this is what you have all been waiting for.


Except you Hellion. Dont watch.

Looks like Your wheelie bar works pretty good. I don't think I would raise wheel any higher.

OK. OK. OK.
I know this is what you have all been waiting for.


Except you Hellion. Dont watch.

Should have started the video off with "Hold my beer"

I must say "that is one Bad Azz" little piglet"

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

Ideally, control surfaces should remain in contact with the ground. But that looks like a hoot!

One Bad Piglet …with a training wheel

 

[Denny]

We both wear the same style of safety helmets. That was the most I’ve been entertained in years! But, quit being a chicken and put your feet up and ride that wheelie out! Great Job!

 

[Grizzlymi]

Awesome man! Looks like a blast. Great job with wheelie bar mount. Seems to hold up well on off road and bumpy terrain.

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Yeah, just that little bit was a blast. I was giggling like a skool girl.
I had no brakes and I kept reaching for a foot brake like my real bike.

Ill pick my feet up eventually Denny, I was still a little gun shy. And I'm probably hard headed enough.

And ponchodog you know I'm gonna have to try the stunt mode setting. At least once anyway.

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Set the bar on the high position.
Look Denny feet on pegs! Im learning.

Still habitually reaching for a foot brake...

 

[Denny]

You are learning! Such a big boy!

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

I couldn't stand the stupid square tank no more. Besides the lid leaked and I didn't really have it mounted well.
So hello new tank.



Im never sure about the free spark plugs, but at least the filter has a magnet in it to find lost nutz.



The outlet might pose a little challenge but I can do anything! Some things just take longer.



The pet rooster is also gonna fight me. A straight out would work but this one has morning wood.



Down might work, but then you have to give it a reach around to turn it on.



Not sure I want to live like that. Lol.

I don't have much room in front of the seat either.



Hellion, you might want to look away or at least put on your thunder buddy shirt. Things are about to get wild!

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Choppy chop chop.
Point to where he hurt you. Lol.



Using the bracket supplied I drilled a hole and a bolt to make a center attachment instead of the standard mount. Being resourceful.



Used the original bar for the rear of the tank. And a scrap piece of strap for the front mount.



Did the same for the seat..not rocket science.



Looks much better.



A little metal glue...



And a finished product.



Moving the seat back really help with sitting position for an adult.



I then had to go do more wheelies.

I got a few surprises in the mail.

Nice write up/explanation on your modification, reasoning & outcome
...& looks good!

 

[Hellion]

Looking back a page or two, the stock seating position was a bit of an eyesore you know, with that extra frame exposed behind it. Never noticed that before on a Doodlebug. Now, astonishingly, it looks proper and aesthetically pleasing. I can't tell you've 'been there' either.

Can't say enough good things about the new teardrop tank. It too is 'aesthetic'. All the tank needs is some sun scorched paint and a few nicks, lol

I now fully support this endeavor.

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Oh no. I made an exploded diagram.
