Mac350 : What a nice guy you are LOL Pink you say where did you find pink paint ? I have a young friend Shannon in our BTW Trike chapter who is my Pink Princess and I was thinking of building up a mini bike and of course it has to be PINK and Purple accents on a flat top Briggs would work too. What brand of paint did you use ?

lol ya i am going to surprise her on her birthday with the bike.

the paint i got is rust-oleum painters touch candy pink. there are other pinks but this one seemed to ba not to flashy. my girl is not to big on bright pinks. this one is the nicest one i could find. good luck with your project.

Mac350 : Who's wheel and disc is that ? And is it a special hub so the sprocket is bolted on the other side . I think working on a better brake system is well worth the effort keeps the front ends straight. If it's from a doodle bug I will have to take a closer look at them.

the break system is great on the bike. yes it is a doodle bug. the bike is coming out better then i thought. i am giving it to her on Wednesday. it will basically be a rolling chassis. e are going to do the motor and other stuff on it together.

that's the stock doodlebug rear brake. the rotor on the one i just sold was a different style though.

well this is the way it is going to look when i give it to her on Wednesday. i am going to let her work on the 5hp Briggs that i have. i will let her clean it up and paint the motor. i will post more pics as we get more done on it. she has no idea i did this for her and cant wait to surprise her with it.
