Thats whats its all about !! thanks for taking the time to check it out.If you’re new to riding a mini bike, start at a slower speed until you learn how to properly balance the bike. It took me about 6 months from start to finish ( give or take a month due to the extensive welding I did to beef up the frame) Its Truely a fun ride and can go anywhere you so desire.

since then, after a little tweeking here and there and installing a carburator off of a 14hp motor, ive done 56mph ( gets there quick too) and its so smooth of a ride having full suspension and those balloon tires taking up any road bumps. My first time to ride it I did 53 mph and man thats fast and I had never thought it would go that fast. I also hand made the seat myself and bent the handle bars out of some really thick tubing with a hyd bender. I also put a key switch on it and front fork lock to keep it being mine instead of someone elses.LoL. When putting it back togeather I replaced every nut and bolt with grade 8+ hardware or Stainless steel and lots of allen heads bolts. I then cleaned up all the welds and filled them all to smooth them out and did the 2 tone paint job(True Blue & Cherry Red). I hand made the Primary cover (billet) that covers the clutch and the gas tank.
I used a centrifugal clutch and made a special jack shaft thats only 4" wide so I could keep the chains on the same side. I then found me a HighOutput 8 hp Techumsha Motor from a parking lot vaccume and rebuilt it with some goodies for a little more punch. ! advantage to this bike that I didnt have on the last 1 was a speedo which is driven off the front wheel. I took a Taco frame and stretched it by 10" and then cut up a susuki RV90 and used the hyd front end and the swingarm along with the big balloon tires and also the brakes.
It has a structure simuliar to the other 1 that you have posted here except its in a larger scale so to speak. I just finished my latest MiniBike Project and thought I would send you a couple of Pics of that bike. "This is Chuck Maier from San Diego, California.
