Yeah that's the scary part the chain has to stay on lol but they do work good though

Just doing another mockup before I finish stripping the paint. Threw on an old briggs 3hp I restored a few years ago just to see how it would look, even though I'm obviously going with a little bigger motor. Also threw on some Nos huntwilde grips. It's looking more complete but now I have to...

Yes it has original the sprocket still but I also have few extra sprockets to choose from

thanks! yeah I painted the wheels, I also installed new tires and tubes. I figured making the wheels look nice while mocking it up as a roller would give me the motivation to keep building it.

So I finally made it into a roller and fabbed up a seat. Previous owner put a regular seat removed the shocks and cut off the tabs. I welded on new ones , made seat rails and mounted some old shocks I already had for a mock up. Now I have to make wheel spacers and get a sprocket so I can test...

Yeah I'm in California also so I understand. There's so many restrictions out here it's ridiculous, might have to just start buying stuff out of state and bring it back here

I currently do have a few briggs motors which is how I know they don't have much of an aftermarket support now days. I get your point but I don't think its a me too thing, it's just some people like to make things simple. I would honestly prefer a built briggs just because it's not as common but...

Interesting!

Flatheads are cool but the predator motors is the equivalent to Ls swapping a car. Besides not being vintage they have alot more pros than the briggs, easy to get, inexpensive, huge aftermarket support, more power, easy to work on, more reliable etc. I do like briggs but modding them cost a...

Yeah it has the og wheels with the stars, no brakes though. I recently fabbed up some seat rails and bought a seat. Bike is mostly completely now besides brakes. I'm getting it ready for paint now so it should be a complete roller soon ready for an engine New dilemma so New dilemma! so now I'm...

I agree! I have a set of 18 lb Honda valve springs and a vm22 carb already. I might also try that cast aluminum flywheel because the billet version are expensive, just want a nice peppy street cruiser that will out run a dog if one breaks loose lol

I have a predator in the garage I'm leaning towards using.

If I found a nice tecumseh for cheap I would but since this bike is not original I just want something cool and different. I would like a raptor motor or just a built briggs. Kind of a vintage but modified motor

Surprisingly there harder to find now. I sold a really nice one a while back I should've kept it.

If I had a 5hp briggs I would for sure, but all my briggs are 3hp. Hopefully I find a good deal on a nice 5hp though

Thanks! And will do. I've been pretty consistent on it should be a painted roller soon

Thanks. I'm gonna strip the paint and repaint the frame, still deciding on a color though. I'm also trying to figure out if I want to do an old briggs or a predator.

I think I did decent job not to be a welder! Not trying to build a perfect mini bike just want to make it a nice decent build

Appreciate it! I just cut my rails and made my seat frame from those measurements

who said everyone was on facebook? I was just saying this page has definitely slowed down, and Facebook seems to have more active members now. I've been on here since 2012 so I've noticed the difference
