    Since there is really nowhere to mount a band brake on a 2hp Briggs I decided to do a jackshaft disc brake. I got a little creative on this one. Since I like to re-use or recycle, this was just the thing to do. I used a guide wheel from a snowblower and modified it by welding a 5/8 shaft collar...

    My son's Rupp somethin' or another. Getting started

    Here's what I'm starting with. I know the frame is a Rupp either C-350 or TT500 with the wrong forks and handlebars from a Fox or something. I painted it about a year ago and it's been on the waiting projects shelf. His birthday is the last day of the month, so while he's at his mom's for his...

    The Roadster is done...

    Finished the Roadster and rode it in the back yard. Can't wait till the trail ride to really see what it's got. With the 5hp Briggs it seems like it'll climb anything, maybe even a tree. lol Come to the trail ride at St. Joe state park on the 23rd and 24th. It'll be a blast. I'll have OldMiniBikes...
