building

If anybody happens to be building a Tom Thumb you may want to take a look at this for a power option. http://blowbyu.ca/90301.html

Decided its time to build a bumper for the yota. Wanted it to look something like this: Started by tearing the entire front end apart today: Got to this by lunch: And what it looked like when i was done today: Still gotta gusset it, cut the fenders, relocate the blinkers, weld...

I posted this earlier on the Hamb board, but it may be more appropriate here... or not I was walking through my neighborhood Harbor Freight the other day and the 6 1/2 Hp Predator engine was on sale for under 100.00. If you know about this engine, it's damn nice. Pretty much a ripoff of the...

I got a new Predator and tore it down today. I'm building up a drag motor as part of my new project. Here's what I find odd/interesting. When I pulled the side cover, the timing was 3 teeth off :shrug: [note] I had just pulled it out of the unopened box. Anyone else ever have this happen...

I'm new here but I've lurked for a while. I finally got my hands on a bike after months of searching and it has a genuine stock gx200. I really want more RPMs out of it for more top speed. While building for RPM,getting more grunt as well would be nice. I need to adjust the gearing as well...

really tired of no way to get my mini's around so i found a trailer for 125.00 and my putting my magic fingers on it and giving it a facelift.Here is what I got

i dont see any kits or where to buy the flange to get it all started so does anyone know where i can get that so i could build my own header? prob be alot cheaper to do it myself....so can someone give some pointers on where to get the stuff or even some ideas to make it look cool! thanks

I am curious what setups people are using because i am building a new frame and Id like to know whats best for the wheel, tire, bearing, hub, and braking setups. for a bike that should nit near 50mph and spends all the time on road no dirt. any help would be appreciated.

I am looking at my options as far as mini bikes go, I need something for off road and ATV trails. I was thinking about buying an Azusa frame, powdercoating it blood red, putting my 5hp Briggs & Stratton on it, installing 8" black rims, and the biggest tires possible with this frame (17.5" tires...

Hi guys, I am starting to build a drag bike and I thought the tires and rims from a pocket bike would work but the bearings all way to small. I extended the rear swing arm and modified the handle bars. Oh its 5/8" axles. So for those of you that have built them. What have you used for rims and...

I'm in the process of building a jig to keep my frame straight as I build it. Im trying to get everything together to figure out ride height, rake, and all that so I need tires to get started. I have been going thru old postings about drag mini bikes on here for almost a year now trying to soak...

I have had this project in the back of my head for a long time now. Work has been extremely busy so every once in a while I get out to the garage and make a piece or two. I'm going to build a 1970 Ruttman Wild Goose mini bike in 1/3rd scale. I came to this website to get some background on...

I've got a 5hp Briggs, ported, header and a 24mm mikuni are in the works so far. How long should the intake and should it be at an angle down ? I'm working with a 7" 45* bend ,it can be cut Also if someone knows a good resource for timing advance keys, that would be great

Hello everybody! I'm planning to build a Ruttman Wild Goose just like the one I had when I was a kid. I have measured up and sketched a doner frame (that I have to give back) and now comes the information thread. I am going to try to make it as close to factory original as possible. I need...

Any body building any minibikes powered by a GX390 or Predator 420?

:confused:whats the best way to start building a frame. i have a 90 amp mig welder from h. i want it to look like the older style doodle bug or just a simple frame to start with. what material should i use? what size tubing? any suggestions on building my first frame. thanks. travis123321:smile:

Hi guys, I am building a longer swing arm for my mini bike, and I was wondering if you need to have bearings where the swing arm bolts to the frame and pivots? or would a bushing inside just work? Thanks for any help. :thumbsup:

Hi everyone..... Your imput is welcomed here :thumbsup: As the title states.... It's not a original, but has the parts to make for a nice minibike.... Be it bogus or not, at least in my eyes it will be a nice mini because I'll be riding it up here in SACTO :thumbsup: the starting point...

Should I get one of these? Do any of you guy's use these? I would like to start building custom's.

Any of you guys build models? Cars, boats, planes, military, trains etc. I used to build a few model cars, and had a model railroad in 1:160 scale (N scale) with all the buildings and scenery. I don't work on it much any more but it used to be a blast.
