Minibikin's Arco "pimpin ain't" Easy Rider

[minibikin']

Well the Tetanus Shot project should be wrapped tomorrow. This will be my next build for myself. I have one more bike to finish for my oldest son while this begins. Here are some before mock up pics.

Looks like a sweet project Chad :thumbsup: You going for original on this one or ???

 

[minibikin']

It will be original looking. I'm not going to source original tires or anything. Just a clean rider hopefully.

Yep, my '72 Moto Skeeter and '73 Keystone came original with Cheng Shins. I like Carlisles better but what can you do.

Looking good:thumbsup::thumbsup: Any work on the ez rider decals??

Well, not too much progress, but I did get the Tecumseh running that is destined for this project. Just a tune up and carb rebuild. I'm getting better with these Tecs finally. Ignore my cell phone video sound. It makes it sound like it has a knock...ut: It runs quite strong and no noises or smoke. Now it can be detailed.
RTK has the forks at work removing the "high speed" option...

Sounds like it's coming along pretty good !
Wire wheel works and I have a grind mark on my forefinger to prove it
Nothing wrong with the spray bomb either ,that's what I did myself
