build

Hello! First post to this forum, Im a kid who knows his way around an old car (for the most part :) ), engines as well, so Im not really asking how to build one (although pointers for building a small engine would be helpful, as Ive only built V8s). Anyway I would get a Hemi as they usually flow...

I'm building a motor for a new bike (I don't have it yet, more to come on that one later). Decided to build with the 212 predator (60363) I got with a coupon for $99.00 at HF. It's nothing too wild, but here's the plan so far. Black Mamba cam 0.275" lift, 26# springs Bullfrog's pop-up...

Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone knew where to get a M10x1.5x200mm bolt. I currently have a 170mm bolt on my steering stem. And long story short, I need a 200mm one. (current bolt is about 6 7/8 long, I can make 7 3/4 work) I was wondering if anyone knew where to get one, or even better; if...

hello everyone, this is my first post. when i was in middle school i got interested in mini bikes and when I was about 15 i bought a mini bike frame off ebay for cheap, I'm 21 now. I'm pretty sure they guy selling it stated it was a Nova frame but that was it... he didn't mention a specific...

It all started with a Grrage sale find for 60 bucks. It turned into this beauty. It is a little ridiculous power wise but my oldest son and I love it.

I've decided to try my hand at building a vintage looking kart from scratch. Here's what I've come up with so far, don't look like much yet though.

Picked up a clapped out old mini bike that someone poorly cut and stretched but never finished. Plans are to correctly stretch and lower it. Make it a fun street bike I can use for a pit bike at the drags.

Been wanting to do an external shock model for a while now ... Picked this bike up last year at winber from clutchkiller .. going to build it for a very good friend of mine . Should be fun !! Grabbed the big rear sebacs from Carplaylb a while back and the smaller front ones from notsomini over...

I got something done! First plan was to build it out of 1x2 ret tubing. Strong as hell, and I could round the corners and fill with flat strap, look cool! I made a wood mock up Ohhhh,, I see a few issues, either it has to be made real wide, or the motor has to be on blocks, and with 2 inch top...

I would like to build a vintage chopper I forget what brand the frame is powered by a 2 stroke Villiers . is anyone else making plans?

As of midnight EST the build off officially closed. First I want to take the time to thank Hent, Vicki and everyone at OldMiniBikes that made this possible and supported it. I also wanna thank mrpat for being my partner in crime the last two years in running this show. Without his help...I probably would...

I just wanted to say that its been another great year for the Build Off and I've totally enjoyed every minute of it. The talent and the skills just keep getting better year after year. But most of all there's been a lot of Old Mini Bikes saved and preserved for years to come. Thanks to Drew...

Hey everyone. Im new to the forum. Just recently got into minibikes but have always been into restorations, welding, engines, etc. So here's the most of my build so far. It started off with a 5500TL atlas frame I got for free from my neighbor who had it sitting in his barn for years. It has...
