Maybe the vibrations would be good for performance. You'll need it!

Thanks guys. Made this in 2 hours. Had a really bad experience when I was a kid... a bike and no chain guard... my pants leg got wound up in it while riding, layed it over and had to wait an hour before my dad came looking for me. Funny story now though.

Hi, I am new to this forum. I got the bug for a mini bike and bought one two days later. This is a Bonanza, I think. Someone extended the frame (real shoddy job) 6.5 Briggs. runs pretty good. Didn't like my leg by the chain though so here we go... Cut out some 3003 larger than needed...
