I've been bitten by the "bug" it seems. After building up a frame (poorly) modified by someone else, and getting some more speed out of it, I've decided to build my own frame before I try to go any faster. Originally I was planning to stay with my warmed over 212, then I entertained...

Looks like they will have 100' mini drags...Anyone going? https://bikesonthebricks.com/visitors-guide/schedule/

Has anyone done a comparison between the two? will I notice much difference? I have a mild Hemi build, and went with the Jr, but thinking the Sr might have a little more up top, and a little less torque to make riding more manageable. Stock rockers on the hemi, and don't have the P to V...

Anyone use one of the builder kits? I am putting together plans to build a proper drag-type frame. The original plan was to build thr frame around my mild Predator Hemi that I built last year, but I feel I might need to go faster, and instead of building a more serious smallblock, I was...

Issue seemingly solved! it's been a while since I've messed with slide carbs, and didn't think the needle position would be that sensitive, but I think it was basically flooding it over 1/2 throttle I rigged up the stock carb and it ran fine, so I swapped the OKO back on and went full lean on...

I told myself that I was going to leave the engine stock, because the point of a $99 engine is it is cheap... Well that didn't last long. A trip to the dragstrip on "Minibike Night" has given me the itch. One of the locals just went 7.9x in the 1/8 with a "smallblock", I cannot afford to...

Hi all, I am more familiar with automotive engines than this lawnmower stuff... With any FT cam, it is general practice that you don't re-use lifters with a new cam. I have not read about anyone replacing lifters with a cam... I am not concerned about the $5 for new lifters, if it is a...

So I've had my bike together for a couple weeks, maybe has an hour on it, tops. 212 predator backed with a knock off TAV2 from OldMiniBikes. 12/54 gearing on a stretched DB30, 15x6-6 rear tire. When I first got it together, the TAV would drag at idle and rotate the back tire slightly. Pulleys are...

Has had a stretch and live axle added. If i had to guess, I would say Lil Indian (450???) based on the single spring on the steering stem and shape of what is left of the frame. Thanks! Dave

Hi All, New here, wasn't sure if this should go in the Baja or Build forum...so here it is. I started off looking for a clean vintage roller to fix up, but decided that for my first foray into the Mini Bike scene, I might use something that had a little less initial value. Enter a stretched...

Hi everyone, new guy hear from Detroit metro area. Been lurking for a couple weeks, figured I'd post. Never messed with mini bikes before, but the local scene has motivated me to build something. I normally stick to full size bikes and old cars. I picked up a cheap DB30 that I won't mind...

Hi all, I picked up a rough stretched DB30 basket case as my first mini bike project. It is only a frame. Looking for a disk brake rear wheel assembly before I just go ahead and convert it to 1" live axle. Thanks!
