Very nice job, Nice color. What did you have into it before any mods? Where do they show prices on the Azusa website? Maybe I am looking in the wrong spot.

Azusa!!!

Thanks for the comments guys.I too was a little worried about the rear axle tabs before i received the kit.I think they are plenty stout for what most of us intend to do with these bikes.I am 6' & about 160lbs. and beat on it pretty good-although i am not doing any jumping with the bike.Someone mentioned wobbly wheels.Mine run pretty true.i can see a tiny bit of wobble in the front but i dont feel it when up to speed.All in all i am extremely happy with this mini kit.I beleive Azusa built a very nice -complete kit for the money.I am so happy with it i think i might build the Azusa kart kit over the winter.

I like how it turned out,I like that color green, My DB30 in that color and I,m doing my Coyote in that green. How long ago did you get your engine from mfg supply. I thought those 4hp power sports were long gone.

Nice bike BrianC.I was eyeing the pics of yours awhile back and they pretty much convinced me to go with the Azusa kit.The green does look sweet.

Hey, Hey, Hey Dude....glad you are having fun tearing it up!!

Hey RiderZ,

Fire Engine Red, ReD HoT, Red Barron ( Pizza...Mmmmmm), Gloss Red, red, red, red...................Fantastic color and kit build up!

You did good and got me hooked on Mini Bikes along the way Mr. Z man. Faster, faster.........Vrooom, vroooom, Screeeeatch!! Thanks for posting up the Kewl pictures of your Azusa on Hobbytalk.com which pulled me into this black hole vortex called OMB. All the sweet mini bike pics in this place are Awesum....this is Mini Bike Heaven.

All you need now is one of those white 70s style shirts with the red arm sleeves that just go past your elbows with a #68 on the back to make you look totaly Rad when you are cruising around the neighborhood.

Bob...I'm a little doodle bugger now...hch

Thanks for the kind words everyone.Bob i see you made it over here.Good luck with your new project.These mini's are just addicting as the slotcars we tinker with.Bill-I have a 5hp Tec on it.Just guessing it runs 35-ish mph.Maybe more.The rear sprocket change was the biggest improvement on overall top end.
