Hello, I was just trying to get some feedback from those more knowledgeable than myself. I would rather have an American made engine for my new mini, I have a Tec H70 which seems to be kind of a dead end as far as performance/high RPM goes so that will be saved for a different use. Which Tec...

If you were going to build a predator which one would you use the old style or the new hemi head one. By build I mean billet flywheel, .020 billet rod, 26lb springs, black mamba cam, header, k&n style filer, carb rejet.

After taking my 2.5 year old niece around the block on an adult Razor scooter and seeing her love it.....I decided I need to get something with power. I came across this gem which then get me searching to figure out what it is. Is this a ToteGote? What year if it is? Seller hate...

I am building a mud motor and was wondering if any one would want to see me build it. I ordered some mud motor plans off ebay sunday, the short tail design which is a lot better i think than a long tail. I will be using a 13hp grey hound honda clone, i got it last year from dirt cheap for like...

I would like to build or restore a bike but I dont know what to build..got any ideas fr me?

I have tossed around the idea of building my 5hp briggs. I want more low end power and more high rpm's. I didn't know if it made more sense to build what I have or buy a 6.5 clone? So what would you guys build or buy for a street, pull start bike?

I have some money that needs spending. I sold a burning hot Gx390 and a stroker raptor, so I have some $$ :biggrin: I either want to build a hot Honda, as I have a low hours block sitting in my garage (genuine honda), along with the crank. OR I want to build up an animal, as I have a 6.5...

There was a guy that was building a pretty cool itsy bitsy mini on here not too long ago. I scrolled through the pages of the project logs and couldn't find it. Unless it's some obscure name. It was a Tom Thumb looking bike that was unpainted and he had posted some pictures of him kneeling...

Hi all, I just joined and am looking for help with sizing the proper clutch for a Mini build I have started. This is a Father/Son build and it will be our pit bike at antique tractor and engine shows. I plan on using a 31" tall by 15" wide Wrangler Terra Tire on the rear. The tire and...

What needs to be done to raise the compression up considerably? Mill the head and deck. Flattop piston. A different crank? When using a stroker crank does that mean you have to add material to the head deck? doesnt it make the stroke longer so wouldnt the piston then hid the valves? I want a...

Hi all. I've been throwing an idea around in my head for the past few days. A recumbent motorcycle. Also known as a feet forwards, sit down, etc. But not only that, I would possibly make the front end removable to be either a reverse trike or a 2 wheeled bike. I could make each leading edge...

I am not very familiar with the Tecumseh engines yet. I have an H60 sitting here & I also have an HS50. Anyone here want to tell me about these engines and the pro's & con's of each? Does the H60 have height issues in some frames? Thank you ~JM~

I am just curious where the line is drawn when building a custom mini bike?? What I mean is, do you keep the frame and wheels pretty much traditional mini bike stuff with crazy engine mods or use a stock mini bike frame and go extreme with everything else?? What I'm getting at is that I have...
