Yep boys I'am back at it hacking up another rare vintage minibike . This time there's a good reason I'am building another flat track minibike , this ones for my brother Doug . Really all I'am doing is replacing the down tubes , because there bent and have road rash . Also this older model Powell...

Got this one from simplearkansan, been wanting to build a another tribute mini bike. This one is going to be close to what Dyno Don Nicholson had in '67, it has a 5hp instead of the 2.5hp. Started with repairing the frame, had a few areas that needed welding. Then mocked new fenders from OldMiniBikes...

Good morning all , haven't been on much but have been working on a couple bikes . The super Powell has had the frame cut up a bit , I took the Powell down tubes off and the foot rest . I went back with a single down tube , shaved off 13 lbs in doing so and made the bike narrower . Also put a...

anyone been successful pressing a new square end on a speedometer/ flexcable? I have a cable on my rupp which is too long. I took the flanged end off and cut the cable and housing. it seems that if a lot of pressure isn't used to form it the will fray apart.....

Had this engine for years sitting in a box half disassembled....like just about everything is around here :doah: It was complete but tired condition ebay purchase some years ago. I didnt need it, It was just a smart buy I felt at the time. I dont have any pics of how it looked, but...

This is the mini bike i grew up riding just about done with it i want to redo the seat and a few other things. I have not seen many sensation's around post up your pic's if you have one.

Since I have started some work on this , I guess i will start the build thread. Pretty positive it is a 1967 campus going by the engine numbers, Looked like ass with all the brush paint all over it, but they actually never removed anything to do the paint job, even the engine never looked...

I have a hard enough time trying to get anything done for myself, so what do I do....I take on a "side job" helping a buddy get one of his bonanza Frames back together :doah: Originally it was probably a BC 1500 with all the good stuff yanked. Its not going "stock" or even stock look, his...

so i gotta keep myself busy during the winter and this bike needs some love so i started breaking her down in the living room last night. Everything circled with silver sharpie is something that needs to be filled then hit with the :grind: or to just have it cut off. 1 Small hole 3 medium...

I used to be big into this. Me and my ex wife would buy junk furniture at flea markets and redo it to sell. Well my girlfriend got this old dresser from her great grandmother. probably 70s its still made from real wood. It was pretty ugly with some water damage and scraps. She wanted a big...

Here's some pics of the mini i picked up! 1st the Good!

just wondering if anyone on here recovered seats, if so how much does it cost. thanks

I had this old B&S 2.5hp kicking around and I figured I should do something with it. I don't have a bike lined up for it as of now, but at least it will be ready to go when I need it. I started off stripping the motor down to the bare block. I then soaked the block in gas and scrubbed it...

A couple weeks ago my son and I were riding serious rocky trails and managed to break the left front a-arm. The spindles were fine but the bolts looked like they had been worked on using vice grips in the past so I replaced those also Here's how it looked Got in the new A-arms and...

I bought this roller a couple of weeks ago, and decided to build this one for my daughter. She picked out the Aqua color lol. I had it sanblasted and I got it painted. I started to put it back together and I noticed the bars were tweeked :doah:. I cant believe I never noticed before. So I just...

I bought this last weekend for $60 delivered.The engine was locked up and it was neglected for years.I stripped the motor down and got everything free'd up and got it running again.The frame was cut out to accomodate the 5hp and the plug position.I cut a piece of conduit and shaped it to...

I bought this last week as a roller.I had asked what it was and was told it is a MX Duster sold out of Jc Pennys. Is it still made by Cat ??? I hope so because the chrome on the front of the bars was a little scraped up so I dressed it up with some chrome letters ( CAT ) Any how its nothing...
