I have an El Burro, the 8 h.p model. It has those flotation tires that are one piece with the wheel. They are shot and I'd like to replace them with standard ATV tires and rims. Is there any kind of conversion available? Any other ideas? Thanks for any help, Tom

Hi all, I am trying to get some info on upgrading my DB-30 blitz to 6.5 hp. I have been reading all the old post here about complete upgrade kits available through some of the members of OldMiniBikes. Are these kits still available? Also are there any advantages of buying a HF predator over the...

Hey guys, I am sure this has been done before but I figured i would try my hand at It. I going to convert my Mini bike into a three wheel dragster (pictures coming soon) What I have is I believe a Bird El Tigre from the 70's. I have a Honda Clone on it currently with gov removed, 18lb valve...

I just recently bought a Doodlebug DB30 and a Harbor Freight 6 1/2 hp clone. I have seen a few conversion kits for sale and didnt know if there was one superior to the others. I plan on buying a kit and converting it soon. I dont know if this matters but I do plan on putting a jackshaft on it at...

needed new pads for my hydro brakes setup and ran across a thick pad kit from promodraceparts.com. They used a alum spacer and longer bolts to accomidate the thicker pads. Got my kit in and the longer bolts were missing from the kit no problem though. I was taking a look at the stock cable...

I listed my two Doodlebugs with Honda clone 6.5hp conversions, (using cjtmini's kit) for sale on craigslist in Raleigh. These are basically brand new, only started and run for a short period to insure they work well. All the work is done for you if you want a new DB30 conversion. Asking $400...

looking for doodlebug conversion kit to 6.5 hp motor with or without motor kits thanks

Ive always wondered if you could easily convert a standard 5hp briggs into a diesel...i think it would be sweet just to have one and as a bonus if it put out more torque than running normal gas.anybody know how?

I'm rebuilding an old briggs 5 horse, and I'd like to get rid of the points. What exactly do I need for the conversion? Will it still use my stock coil? I see the magnetrons for sale on ebay, but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for.

I have a minibike that uses a rear scrub braking system and it feels a little precarious to me. My kids are new to minibike riding and I'm thinking it would be safer for them if I added a band/drum brake to stock rear steel wheel with a handbrake. They can ride a bike and are used to using...

My father and I picked this little Baja DB30 Minibike up at GI Joes when they were going out of business. They had them all the way down to $150 new! I couldn't build one for that so we purchased one to play with and bring with us to fly-in events ect. Right after purchase we took it up to...

I have a doodle bug and need to do the 6.5 clone swap. I want the engine plate sold on this site so i dont have to drill holes. Does anyone have pictures of it. I dont get how the engine bolts to it without the original bolt getting in the way. Or the bolts that hold the engine getting in the way.

Hi Guys! So my hydro brake came in the mail today and its installed. I have my motor and am starting the conversion process. Initially, I intended to purchase ctjmini's plate, but I'm in a zone and want to get this done this weekend (my apologies Chris). Got my clutch tonight and already...
