Anyone hear of these guys up in Canada building some really nice mini bikes. I have one on order and I should have it any week now. I opted for the "roller kit" which is supplied by GPS..some affiliation. I may go way off the reservation on this build.... I dunno maybe a small old British thumper
Could get wild...anyway check them out

I just received information that my bike is nearing completion..powder coating this bike.My frame is the red one. I have been impressed with how these guys communicated with me thru unforeseen delays with manufacturing on their end...and to their credit the delays were in an effort to get these frame kits perfect. I didn't get much interest from my first post bout this bike
You wanna see the build ?
glad to post it up

Yes I'm thinking old thumper or built 212....probably 15 HP C/O Dan @ Studzracing in Detroit
The roller looks really nice here is a photo of the frame fresh at the powder coating ( mine is the red one ) I might be selling my super rascal later this year. I am seriously running out of room
Mini bikin ain't easy !

I'm back from my first shake down ride...nothing fell off and it made it back to the shop on its own power !!.... little humor...well first impressions are pretty good
The little mini did ok with a 60
Tooth sprocket and a 10 tooth clutch.. am not after top end so for my purposes I'll leave it alone
The suspension is pretty good for what it is. I have the foot peg extenders on the front mounting lugs and I have very little ground clearance as the pegs scrape quickly. I have to rethink the catch can mounting but for now I had a hole on the clutch guard so i used it. I have installed his battery box and with my 212 E start motor I had to relocate the starter solenoid..to use a small AGM battery which isn't that big a deal just need to fab a bracket for the solenoid to anchor to. I think it has the potential to be a keeper..for now...next up I am recommissioning my 1971 750 Norton commander

Very nice bike, (actually both ) but your Norton is beautiful. I haven't ridden a street bike in at least 55 years. Back when I did ride it was always an English bike as they were extremely popular in the 50's and 60's. I was lucky enough to own a Norton. Great machine, loved it. Good luck with your recommissioning.
