Re built 1968 Sensation mini bike

Thought some of you may enjoy looking at this. I just finished rebuilding this 1968 mini bike for my grandson. New wheel bearings, rebuilt carb, rebuilt engine, new clutch, new rear sprocket and new paint all the way around. Was a fun project !

Very cool. Sensations aren't very common.

That's what it's all about.

Nice job, I like how you left it nice and clean the way mini's should be. (less is more) People have a tendency to add too much crap on their mini's and lose the hole point!

Like your handle too. No get working on another!

Looks GREAT! I have the Identical twin to your mini, except I went with the original pea green color. I have had mine since 1968. Just went to my folks, rounded her up from stuff I left behind and restored her to new condition last year. I love this hobby!

Basscatcher : Some Grandpa's can give their Grandson's lots of money and little else. But the gift of your time and the never forgotten memories that a mini bike fosters is priceless. So find one to work on for you to ride and make it a family affair. Fishing and mini bike riding what could be better ? And welcome to the OMB Steve
