Here is one my latest projects, I picked up this Hustler from Joe the joker a while back, as you can see it was very rough when I got it. I stripped it all down and sent all the metal parts to the sandblaster and then had them powered coated. I also cleaned up and replaced a lot of the chrome for this bike. I decided to go with a newer and bigger 6.5 built honda motor for this particular build. We plan to have the motor produce 14 to 20hp when we're done with it. It will have a comet driver and driven two speed belt system. I have stiffer shocks to replace the original shocks because the original shocks are to soft and spongy for this much horsepower. I wanted the bike to maintain it's originality as much as possible with small custom modifications. I also wanted to build a minibike that was very fast that would handle well in the turns, the minibike needed to have good ground clearance, suspension with a lot of travel that could handle the mountains and the dunes of the deserts here in sunny California. I needed a minibike that was more streamline and lighter then a Powell and taller than a Bonanza with a larger wheel radius then both those bikes for a better rotation. I wanted rims with out spokes that's why I choose to build this Rupp hustler minibike as one of my top 5 riders. Here it is I hope you guys and gals like what I ova done so far.
