    Manco Thunderbird

    Hey all, I just picked up a nice Manco Thunder chicken 593-11. The tank is perfect, but of course the cap is junk and broken out on the top side. Does anyone know of a good replacement? OEM or comparable is not necessary. Thanks

    OK, what is it?

    How many of you have a nice chariot such as this? LOL I bought this today dirt cheap and it's really a nice built machine. The engine is a 2.5hp, and appears to be made for this application. I don't think even a 3hp harbor freight would fit. It has a copper fuel tank, and cheng shin tires (the...

    Custom Bird

    Hey all, been awhile. I picked up this custom Bird Engineering bike today. I built this about 8 years ago for our local drag strip owner. He used it for awhile then got something with lights and electric start lol. It has set for a few years and I offered to buy it back. He gave it back to me...

    Gas tank

    Hey all, I came across this cleaning out an old machine shop. It is a NOS piece, never had fuel in it. It's almost 10" long, roughly 6" diameter, and the fuel cap is 2" across. It has one small ding on one end. I have to ask $45 shipped for it because of the size, it will have to go in a...

    Seat by Manchester1

    I had Karen do me a seat for my Heathkit Boonie bike. I just got it in the mail today and had to post and brag. I am sure others have used her for seat work, but this thing is NICE. The factory couldn't do a better job if they wanted to. Well worth the wait and money spent.

    Home made muffler

    Hey all, dont knock the aluminum welding too much lol, I am not very good at it yet. It's made from 6 individual pieces, and I used a cut down perforated core from a 2-stroke silencer on the inside. It's 6-1/4 inch end to end and 2-1/4 diameter. May not take a lot of the sound away, but...

    Seat stencil for the Heathkit Boonie

    I removed the rear of my original seat. After some gentle cleaning it looks brand new again. I have someone that can make a decal to install the stencil back onto a new seat. If I had a few of those made would any of you Boonie owners be interested? He said it would be exact except for maybe...

    VERY custom mini

    Hey all, found a pic of a mini I built for a good friend of mine. He supplied the engine and exhaust, and I did everything else. The frame looked like a Bonanza but not sure. It has foot control on both sides, one for the brake and the left hand is for the shifter. I used a second hub on the RH...

    GT-18 Boonie sprocket???

    Hey all, been a few years since I have been on here. I picked up a GT-18, very nice original condition except for the 2-speed setup. I am going to restore with a Comet setup and a clone engine, as we drive our minis. The original rear sprocket is in poor shape. I pulled it, did some measuring...

    Custom MTD Columbia

    I have a hard time keeping things stock I guess. I had to reinforce the frame (I suppose because we adults now weigh more than we did 30-40 yrs ago lol). Larger tires, custom gas tank, and a larger torq converter system from a go-kart. It is about 20% larger and should get it moving pretty fast...

    Ring sets (many)

    Hey all, I have several different ring sets for sale. I understand some of these may not be minibike material (although who knows what some people may put on a minibike for a powerplant). If you see a number you can use let me know. I would rather sell a number completely at one time, but it...

    Hard to find part numbers??

    Hey all, I posted a Tecumseh shortblock on the parts page. As I stated there I have picked up about 5 big boxes of older NOS Briggs parts, with a few Tecumseh parts. There are all kinds of parts from carb kits, mufflers, point armatures, screws, rings, etc. Also a ton of different head and...
