Hi all, great site you've got going on here. I've been lurking for a few days, since I pulled my kid's db30 out of storage. THREE DAYS I've been on here, and I just finished the 6.5 clone swap. WHAT KIND OF DISEASE HAVE YOU PEOPLE GIVEN ME?! Anyhow, I can't seem to get the smile off my face, and the kid seems to feel the same. :laugh:

Finally got around to uploading a pic to my PB, I think my first attempt at a clutch guard turned out OK. And what a difference compared to the stocker, which never seemed to run right for me :shrug:

Welcome to OldMiniBikes Benny and nice job on the Doodle!!
As a newbie here myself I can tell you that being a member here can be very expensive :laugh:
Since joining I've bought 3 minis, a go-kart and 5 motors :scared::scared:

Think I may need OldMiniBikes rehab :shrug:

Thanks guys, I'm keeping my eyes open for a frame and fork for myself, and already planning my governorless engine build. Momma says the gov. has to stay on the boys bike, but I'm wide open :grind::thumbsup:

 

[old-timer]

Benny,
Just so you know,talk about governor removal is a no-no here, unless you plan to use the proper billet rod+flywheel .

Check out this thread.

Of course. That thread was one of my first reads when I got here. Makes perfect sense to me, I've been around big bikes and heavy equipment for 30 years, and I've seen plenty of failures. Billet flywheel and con rod are top of my build list. Gotta have the right parts to make the power! :hammer::grind:

Benny, I wasn't trying to be the OldMiniBikes police. I just didn't want to see you get in trouble.
New members usually get a one time free pass :smile:

Don't ask me how I know lol, but after reading through the thread and seeing the pic's I totally understand where the logic is coming from. I'd like to keep my legs and my manhood in tact. :laugh::laugh:
