    Disk brake upgrade on my old build off bike.

    This is my 2013 OldMiniBikes build off bike. A little while back I stripped and painted it, and went to 21” tires and a 72t rear sprocket. After putting a few off road miles on it, I wanted to upgrade the brakes. The rear drum was always a bit weak but the bigger tires made it even less effective...

    New tires and a paint job.

    This is my 2006 Tomberlin Firehawk that I customized for the 2013 build off. I just got some new 21x7-8 tires and a 72 tooth sprocket. There are a couple things I am cleaning up, plus adding a new air cleaner. It has seen lots of desert miles. 2 weeks ago it was scooting around the sand dunes...

    Hey guys I just went and checked this out. The seat is off a Honda something. The engine is a 160cc Honda off a pressure washer. Custom header, handle bars welded on and maybe a repair on the foot peg. It ran ok, but isn't quite what I was looking for. 5 digit serial #. I'm not sure of the...

    Mitsubishi gt 600 6hp-Engine Upgrade options?

    I went for a ride a few days ago. The road we were on is a dirt road with a 30 mph limit. It's all graded with little traffic. There were a couple small hills and the TAV took me up them with zero trouble. My motor is sputtering a little at peak rpm's, so I'll be checking that out this week...

We spent an hour riding wide dirt roads before we were miles from the truck and a thunderstorm hit. She didn't miss...
