great to hear. keep us updated. im planning on a really small mini bike this summer using the very first engine i had put in my razor bike last year, the 33cc chainsaw.

ahh good times.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

btw those headphones you got are actually the exact same as mine.

lol,

EDIT: lol, yelled at me for having too many smilies

 

[Bluethunder3320]

watch it leak when you bring it to school that would suck.

its gotta be fool proof!

 

[r97]

probably won't get much done today, but i did get my tires, tubes, and rims. these tires are so tiny! less than 9" dia, and about 2.5" wide! lol

 

[Bluethunder3320]

sound like scooter wheels!

 

[r97]

lol, they actually look just like mini go kart wheels, exactly the look i want!

Photos!

 

[r97]

ok, if you want! not sure if you can see the drawing of the frame on the poster board, but its there. i also have some pics of my head tube after being bored out to 7/8" for bushings. also a few pics of the tires(with measurements, and my hand to show how tiny they are!), and the sprocket. oh, and a pic of my headphones! lol

now i'm just waiting for my engine kit, and my caliper, neither of which i have heard anything about yet........ e-mail time?

p.s. looks like it will be somewhere around 30" long.

got my brake caliper today, fresh out'a china, in short i had to disassemble it 4 or 5 times before i had it functioning correctly. of course the day i get the brake caliper, i found some 4.5" brake drums which i think could work perfectly as long as there not to wide (e-mailed BMI karts about it already), the drums will look better and be simpler to setup, so i think i will get them, might use the caliper for the front brake later.

i'm also gathering together some stuff to make the seat!

 

[r97]

not sure if any one is reading this anymore, but here is the brake i'm going to order,

i also ordered some more stuff to make the seat, its going to be black vinyl, with a white vinyl strip going around the edge, and maybe a pattern on top if i can mange it. as long as i can be ok at sewing this stuff the seat should come out nice! kinda like this,

EDIT: engine should get here Tuesday.

 

[landuse]

That is one nice looking seat

 

[daniel7250]

r97. keep us posted bud ,

 

[Bluethunder3320]

this is gonna look awesome. keep it up!

 

[r97]

thanks guys. i won't be able to work on it over the weekend, but after that i have the rest of the week.

so far i think the seat is coming out pretty nice, especially considering i'm using fishing line, and a home made needle made from 1/8" rod, , i ordered some piping to go around the edge too (i couldn't get a small amount of white vinyl, in fact i couldn't get white vinyl)

hope BMI can get the brake shipped today.....

 

[daniel7250]

How much has she cost so far ?

 

[r97]

no clue! LOL, my estimate for the total cost at the end is maybe 250-300, which i think will be a reasonable price.

 

[daniel7250]

yeah thats not too bad. keep us posted bud, im always excited to see whats happening with you

 

[r97]

Getting some stuff, I should be able to finish the seat today, should get, the brakes on thurs, got the engine today, guess it's actually only 47cc, but that's ok, I will need to widen the frame a half inch, and off set the engine. Unfortunately I received something else too, I am sick now and do not feel up for chop saw or welding, I can work on the seat and prepare stuff, like laying out bolt patterns for hubs, and making templates.........

 

[daniel7250]

sned up a pic if ya can man ? . hope you feeling better soon .
