building

After doing some research on trikes. reverse trikes, etc, I think I'll fab up my own along the Trisport lines. I will use a 6.5 Predator and series 30 torque converter. I think I will use a differential for ATV applications from Northern tool. Axle brakes on both wheels seems to be a must. For...

Hi everyone im extremely new to the world of mini bikes as Well as to mechanics but I wanted to better my skill set and learn more about mechanics and how everything works and figured building up a mini would be a challenging and rewarding learning experience. I purchased a used mini Baja (not...

I am starting a thread on a non hemi predator motor. This engine came off a Kart my nephews kids race on a kart in my backyard. It was a stock Non Predator engine and I never had an interest in it as I find the hemi to be a much better platform for my engine builds. The reason for this is that I...

So I got bit by the Minibike bug. Don't know why, but I did. After the eBay find Flexo I decided to build an Azusa. Started out with a rusty frame. The poof can paint job did not hold up well on the coast. I was told that this is a later, perhaps 90's vintage frame, it's not out of the 60's...

Happy New year to everyone in the forums helping out us MiniBike enthusiast, For my first engine build I have decided to go with a Briggs 5hp Flathead from an industrial fan. I am sure there are a couple of threads on flathead builds on this forum already. Although all are great, I still have...

I just scored a sixties/seventies mini bike today from Craigslist for $60. It has an odd single downtime and the mounts for a jackshaft. I think it might be a Fox Sprite? Anyway, I got a frame and fork, complete twist throttle, set of wheels with new tires, a couple sprockets, drum brake and...

I know this is a Mini Bike forum but this is kind of a 4 wheel Mini Bike. Have to decide what engine setup before I build the top part and I am going to use a 14 1/2 " round stool cushion with the UA elephant logo on it and paint the frame crimson red. also will run the steering shaft...

Like the title said.. I'm planning on buying a brand new predator 212, so that's the only thing that I really dont need other than wheels, tires, fenders, and the frame. I'm in the market for: Clutch for a 212. Throttle assembly Left grip Gas tank Seat Seat cover Headers Mufflers...

I am new to mini bikes. Have a couple of vintage bikes but am thinking of building one for speed. Where are the speed demons hanging out?

I've been working on repopping some Lil Indian clutch covers to help some folks and myself out. In building molds, building tools and figuring out thickness and on and on..I have these three covers that will need a little body work and or touch up done to them...still usable and repopped off of...

Sheesh the pressure is on now. I'm entering the open class & building a General Appliance mini. I'd sure like to know what...

What are your thoughts and opinions of the nitro 44 roller chassis? I've had a mini bike for years but now I want to build a mini drag bike. I'm in the process of building my first motor. It'll be a nice but mild flathead. I want to use this chassis as my motor building skills grow. What do you...

I'm new to the minibike hobby, but so far I'm having a ball building and riding mini bikes at car shows and in the pits at drag races I recently started a new project in which I had to learn how to weld and bend tube mostly by watching videos on YouTube lol.. next I'm going to try my hand at...

Here is a few pics of a drift trike I am building It will use a clone engine I am building now and still trying to get parts for.

So I am getting ready to build this drift trike that I have been collecting parts for & I don't want to use the BMX bottom frame tube. I want to build a frame tube that comes out perpendicular to the neck tube, sweeps down to the back and sweeps back up parallel to the ground that I can then tie...
