well i get out of school an hour before my little brother, and my little brother just loves to show off to all his friends that his big brother builds mini bikes and all, so hell why not go up there and show off a bit? cops are okay around this small area if i stay on the sidewalk, so coming back the first and second time, the bus gets let off, so i often have to stop and wait for kids, the first time i was like im not going to wait and waste gas here, ill come through this small patch of grass thats a little bumpy, and my foot is always close to the clutch with the pegs and my other metal ones i made got me cut up to, so i said whatever, came through and clutch tore my leg open, second time it was the patch of grass on the other side of the other school

exactley what i thought, but A my grandma wants on made for the engine and all the ones are expensive, and the only holes to mount it on is two crankcase bolts and none of the cheaper ones give me not enough coverage where my food would still hit it, and my grandma really dosent like the bike much at all, ive had to many accidents on this bike, and she thinks im getting a bit to big for it,

well me and my grandma have been talking, the manco is coming off craigslist, my little brother is going to use his 50 dollar allowance to buy a clutch cover and its going to be a shared mini bike type of thing for about 6 months, after 6 months of saving money my grandma is going to give me the other half, so ill have 500, with that were going to go buy me a moped type, not scooter or somthing like that, she means almost a full out motorcycle but smaller, shes always sending me to get my motorcycle liscence and insurnace and papers, she said probablly used but in amazing condition, so by april ill have a motorcycle type of moped and my liscence for street legal riding ,

alright guys, this thread is long gone, and soon to be dead. i traded my neighbor the bike as a roller with the clutch and chain in exchange for a new brake drum and pads from honda, anti squeal paste, and him changing out my brakes, and also in the same deal him to weld up my motor mount when it stops snowing and we go to his old neighbors house who has a Lincoln weld pack 100, with full mig shielding so theyll look great. Hes putting the bike together so he can tow his kids with the sled. now im still after my torque converter and the neighbor said when i get it/go to buy it, hed buy my jackshaft assembly off me for his chopper project. Now im also selling some things and need help with pricing them for craigslist,
5hp briggs (runs, but needs carb help) -
2 clone mufflers -
42 and 54 tooth sprocket for 41 chain -
tecumseh muffler -
briggs canister muffler -
a 41 chain clutch (10 tooth) -
35 chain clutch face (12 tooth) -
and a manco thunderbird gas tank (no bolts, painted gold, also no cap) -

i have no idea what to price thesse, im trying to make about 160 dollars or close to it, do you guys think i could do it without over pricing things?
