My Scratch Build

[Lunchbox]

I wanted to make a unique gift for my son so I rounded up my junk and started on this. Maybe by Xmas time I'll be done...Be gentle on me, it's my first scratch build.

Here is a segment of video of the power plant.

AND things with wheels that help get rid of the clutter are nice too

BTW, to anyone interested That 4horse briggs is attached to a 1750watt generator, which might be for sale or trade soon.

I think its a good start.

I love scratch built projects.
I want to build a little minibike as soon as I can but I have a house to work on for now.

please keep the pics coming.

Slow progress, but there is a gooseneck column now. Things will be slow until I can scrounge some steel plate for the triple trees and axle hangers. Total investment so far? However much the flux core welding wire was. Unfortunately I don't think I can get away with free wheels, brakes and sprockets!
BTW don't laugh too hard at my welding :weld: I still need to smooth them up some.

Never EVER under any circumstances ride your mini bike near power lines!

I was wondering what I was going to do for the front forks then I found a nice piece of tv/cb radio antenna mast and chopped a couple sections out of it. I guess I am going for the wide glide look now! 1.25" O.D. with .080" Steel walls. I think it will work. Next up the trees...if I can luck out and find some steel.:hammer:
The cost is adding up now. My angle grinder bit the dust. Boo.
