wildmannracing minibike build off

[wildmannracing]

this is my minibike i'm doing i've had the frame for a year i think it is a skat cat, the motor i found at a swap meet about two years ago it is nos west bend 580 five port (i got it from a guy that said it was one of his left over motors when he raced karts in the 60s and never used it) it took all this time to find the pipe, clutch (that was the hard find), gas tank, and the volisty stack (sp). it is now at the sand blaster and i'm picking it up today and i have a jack plate motor mount comming , i,m running a jack plate because the motor would be to far off center.

Yep, Not sure on the height of the bars though. Hard to tell from his pics. Need to see a front view.

Does yours have the M/T plaque still?

 

[wildmannracing]

ok i'm back on i've been working on the race kart (and all of my money) trying to get it ready for the race season and working at the track, i'm going to try to get done with my minibike by the dead line

 

[kbs8ball]

is this the bike with the red white and blue seat ??

 

[kbs8ball]

My bad, Thats the barris bike with that seat.

 

[wildmannracing]

there is no seat at all, any idea what style of seat it needs

 

[kbs8ball]

Injuntom said he can supply a pic of the original seat...lets see it Tom ??

 

[INJUNTOM]

Hate to break it to you, but it's not a Mickey Bike. It is another model of King O Lawn though, and probably uses the same seat.

If your's is an actual Mickey Bike it will have the footrest tube on the inside of the frame loops in about the same position instead of outside the tubes like on his.

Also, the rear axle tubes match the scrub brake tabs and are part of the engine plate section just like the scrub tabs. As opposed to the square tab style welded on with a slot in it just like this one.

....And the handlebars are ridiculously tall. They are hysterical looking in person.
