I am making some. The finish is nothing to write home about, the fit is. They are sized for 3/4” crankshafts with an oilite bushing insert used for 5/8” shafts. Drilled for 70-75% of full thread. Use a high quality Letter I drill, Tap Magic cutting fluid or equivalent, and a high quality...

I just read a bit about a gathering of bikes at Cobo Autorama. Feb. 28- March 1. The Detroit Fire Department Clown Team will have their new truck along with their vintage F-100 rig. Maybe see some folks there

Hey everyone. I have the task of finding good homes for a bunch of donated flat heads. If anyone can point me in a good direction, it would help a bunch. They are 3 1/2 hp and smaller, down to a Briggs for Powr Kraft 2hp copper edger motor. None are real desirable, but still deserve a good...

We blew a bearing on the tiller at the parade today. I need two 1 3/8” OD x 5/8” ID x 1/2” wide. Either flange or split ring. Ill be driving to you from Chelsea, Michigan

I’m trying to standardize the foot pegs on our fleet of minis. They have to be fold-up design for transport. I really like the Motovox, Baja style of peg. I take a stock peg and add another extension loop of bar stock to lengthen it to allow clown shoes to have positive grip on it. The...

So I have this bike donated to the Clown Team. To make any machine parade- ready, We usually increase the horsepower a bit. Then put a torque convertor or jackshaft on it. Add the best street tires and tubes I can find. Build and install a super functional two piece chain guard. Torque...

Could anyone suggest a reliable source for the above? Are there different cup and recoil designs? Thanks, we got a bike down that i need running for Thanksgiving day parade. Steve

Got this donated scooter here. Do any of you folks have much time around these things? We cleaned it up and are thinking about putting it back on the road for parades. It looks like a decent design. A clown with a flashing red LED light on their helmet might be a crowd pleaser. After a...

Sorry, not enough signal for an image just now. 60102 940165 6206123 Kind of mint or pea green with the Briggs and Stratton EZ pull decal, no hp tho. Came off a rototiller Almost an exact twin to the 2hp on the Horney Toad 60102 0267-01 71122 Both are Vacu-Jet slide choke powerplants. More to follow

Semi truck mud flap. Layout tools. Stanley knife, fresh blade. Non-ferrous grinding wheel with a dog-bone profile made on it. Respirator too, little specks of mud flap everywhere. Crude but functional, Clown tough.

We are putting the Go-Ped back on the road! The new Chung Yang R230 Taiwan-built engine runs 25:1 gas:oil. Which brand and product should we purchase to run this crowd pleaser machine? It will get it’s own, new, heavily labeled gas can. We run Opti-2 and Rec 90 with Sea Foam in all our two...

I’m thinking about buying a dedicated valve lash adjusting tool set. CTS or Motion Pro or some other. I’m leaning towards CTS since there are more tool options for different engines. Anyone happy with theirs?

No bike parts... Snapper snow blower auger shroud.

Hey everyone, the grandkids have put enough hours on the stock 79cc Lifan that it’s replacement time. I’m buying the HRM jackshaft kit, so the four bolt output side mount is a must. No engine upgrades are expected until they are big enough for a hemi powered bike. Once they are too big for...

A friend’s beautiful bike. What engine was on it originally? I’m gonna start the search for one soon.

I’ve been searching for a rear street type tire for our Ken Bar Whirlwind bike. 15-5.50x6 Cheng Shin was on it, I believe, since it’s 1998 build year. I’ve contacted the following with no success: OldMiniBikes warehouse Coker, has the knobby, they said not so good for pavement riding. DE Miller Dennis...

Looking for a benchtop box control set-up. Haako, Weller or x- tronic? It’s a confusing world out there... Thanks in advance

I haven’t been able to dig up much on the way they ride, friendly or otherwise. I’m pondering putting some time and parts into one with what looks like, at first glance, the original Tec 5. Hopefully some folks have a frequent rider with thoughts. Thanks in advance, Steve

Hey everyone, our Eshelman funny car is done, complete with lights, siren and bell. Now for the tiller-steer trailer... The following list is a best first guess... 14 foot long, the two main beams are 2”x3”x 0.065” (16 ga) steel. Clown Tillerman at the rear seat with steering. 8 foot fixed...
