If ya know any info on this model, I’d love to know. It’s rough. I took it as a payment for a welding job. I know I’m never going to have the finances to do this bike right. I’ve really only enjoyed actually making all my bikes. I may end up trading it for an old moped or scooter. ***the...

It’s been years since I’ve been able to get out in the garage. The time came this summer! Since I sold everything I’ve ever built, I decided to make myself one more mini to keep for me. Couple lengths of 3/4 gas pipe, and a order from gopowersports, and this is what I came up with. 3.5 HP...

Building up a FAT CAT homemade. Gonna use old fashion jackshaft set up. Cant afford a torque converter. Big #40 sprocket would help! BTW....its a old artic cat frame. Front end from honda atc!
