For my Ct200u. Says it's a comet replacement 218353a. I assume it's just like the rest of the comet clones. It's a 10 tooth 40/41 (420 chain right)? What is the comet belt part# I need? I figure I'll need a chain breaker and master link as well. What you think of this unit? Thanks Oz

Many thanks to those of you that have offered well wishes prior to my (third) back surgery. Unfortunately, the hospital computer system had a catastrophic failure this am, and all seven served hospitals and providers had serious delays. My surgery was canceled at 11:00 AM because early patients...

I can't stand it anymore. I just can't stand to ask to use other people's machines all of the time. I bought this thing and I hope it turns out OK. I don't have everyday use for a lathe but this will take care of the things I need to do. It threads funny but like any machine I will get used to...

Are these guys still in business? Last month I ordered something that was supposed to be "in stock". I have yet to receive it. I received an email saying they had the order and another email showing I paid them from PayPal. I called them many times. Emailed them. And started a refund with...

This clean Rupp was on display at the Pawn Stars shop in Las Vegas. Lot of cool stuff there!

Hey Fellas, a friend had been telling me about the bike his dad had as a kid. He finally brought it in today. He'd like me to help clean it up and get it back to "operational". Pretty cool to see one in person! Please, let me know if you have any parts or contacts. Thanks! :thumbsup:

I want to take my rtc6 head down to have it milled to increase the compression ratio. I want as much taken off as possible without having to shorten lifters or pushrods. Im hoping somebody might be able to tell me how much i should take off?

Hello guys, I need a new chrome shop since mine can't plate the Rupp 6" wheel halves. It is the chrome ring in the photo below that I need done. Apparently these are difficult to do? I remember a couple of names being tossed out on another thread but I can't seem to find it. I remember one in...

Anybody have any good tips on changing mini bike tires , maybe a inexpensive home made machine . I don't really want to buy a harbor freight p o c ,when I probably have enough scrap laying oround the shop to build my own. Just wondering if anybody may have any good tips that may have worked out...

Hi. Manny here. I'm new to this and since I can't afford a Corvette I thought a one-off side hack mini would suffice. Looking forward to talking shop and checking out what everyone else us riding. Thanks

Picked these up today.Got them dirt cheap from a guy that owns a body shop in town.They've been hanging in his man cave below his shop for years.For the heck of it I asked if he'd sell them.Gave me a great deal,couldn't pass it up Both are 1980 models,one is a C70 4-stroke and the other is a...

I've had some guitar/music stickers for a couple years and Bikebuddy sent me some cool OldMiniBikes stickers. Been waiting for a good place to stick them. The shop is enforcing the Hard Hat (OSHA) policy again and I got a new one! Needs more "cowbell"

In October we said goodbye to our dog of 16 years. We said we wouldn't ever be able to replace Spring. Over the past months we have missed having a companion. So, Saturday we went to the local Animal Shelter to "look". We were attracted to a couple of them. Well, most all of them but, ya can't...

Vintage Fantic Broncco Mini Bike Minibike Go Kart Hi Glo Polish Accessory | eBay Rumor has it Glenn Baine drinks this stuff while he's working in his shop. Gives him "super mini bike powers" far beyond those of mortal men...and prevents rust!

I had a little free time last night so I decided to take a ride over to a friends back yard garage/shop, to check on the progress of a car he's restoring, maybe have an adult beverage and talk shop. When I pulled in the driveway I immediately noticed this old Alexander Reynolds mini bike outside...

We have an oven at work we use for heat treating, welding steels and occasionally making pizza. It will go up to 2200°F or so. I had a oven rack with some surface rust on it and rather than clean it up with a scotch-brite or what ever I chose to burn it off in the oven at 1600°F. It got...

Some may have seen a thread I did recently about shop shop clocks I made while messing around for some filler on my walls......well I know somebody did cause they are now for sale on ebay :doah: I decided not to make a bunch and resell (its not worth the effort), I did sell one off since I...

Just messing around with these, I finally have pretty much figured out the best way for me to do after a couple of tries, If I can find one more Ruttman design I could do the 4 time zones like you would see in the background of the evening news back in the day :laugh: just curious what people...
