    Finished first bike

    My son Dominic finished his first bike a few weeks back and decided to show it at a local car show. He took a top 50 award out of 400 cars. He did the work himself with my supervision. He already has a second bike in the works. Thanks to Joe51 for the beautiful seat.

    Throttle linkage on late model Lil Indian

    Does anyone have any close up pics of the throttle linkage on a late model (2000ish) Lil Indian. From the end of the cable to how it attaches to the carb. I bought the bike/engine in pieces. I have the original engine but I’m not sure if the carb is correct. Thanks again guys!! Bob
