guys

Early in the year i bought a roller off the classifieds from Andy, (capguncowboy). It was in pretty decent shape but not good enough in my book to consider it a survivor. It had the usual cat problems chopped up engine plate, stuck fork bolt and bent sprocket mounting bracket on the rear wheel...

I've been lurking around here for a few years now. Like many of you, my fascination with minbikes began at a young age. My first was a neighbors(we all had one!) mini that they would let me ride when I was about 7. It was all downhill from there! Got a Bonanza BC 500 kit eventually, had a...

What is it? Does the engine look correct? Thanks, Nate

I thought I had one of these ,pictured below, so I was going to use it. It was not my first choice but I thought since I already had it I would go with it. I have a build going under small project and I have 5" Azusa Tri Star wheels and what I wanted was just a flat 60 tooth sprocket with 3...

ok you outboard guys heres a question for ya. I have a 1956 johnson CD13A 5.5hp. i want to take out and run next week. Fifteen years ago I got a nos johnson pressure type fuel tank for it off ebay so i sold the old one for it. i think it is a later production with maybe left over parts because...

Any thoughts on this bike? It is listed at a 70's model, but the flames paint job does not look original and it has a briggs motor on it. I am looking for an old/vintage bike to get and restore. What do you guys think of this? Thanks, Vex

Hey guys, first time using the forum :) basically i have an old kt100 kart frame that needed an engine. So i went to harbor freight yesterday to pick up a 212 to build. They only had the 730 models everywhere untill i saw a random engine out of the box just sitting under a shelf. I asked a...

I just rolled it into the garage and haven't checked to see if the hardware is metric or not. What do you guys think?

So anyway, its been a while since i have been on here. I just finally finished up my 212 install. I have to thank all you guys for the help I got. also, some guys sent me free parts. But I got to take it for a lil spin today, and OMG. That this is pretty damn fast! It was pulling wheelies...

This is near the Pittsburgh area. I was thinking there was a lot of interest in these, So I figured some of you guys might appreciate the heads up hornet mini bike

Hi guys, a buddy of mine picked this up at an auction last week. I am no Fox expert like many of you guys. I think it might be a Fox Street Scamp but I am not totally sure. Can you guys confirm this for me? Does it have the 4HP Tec on it? And how easy is it to find new fenders for this bike...

What do you guys use for removal of old layers of paint?

Best pics I have sorry , looks like kidney bean rear wheel and frame kinda looks Bonanza , front forks however I'm clueless , it has a scrub brake if that helps ! Thanks Guys !

Hey guys all new to mini bikes! I have brought a deltek, it has a 160cc victa engine! The carby needs replacing, it has a mikini on it! What carby would fit this mini bike? You can't just put any carby on? Please help, or can you guys tell me what carby will fit so I can buy a new one on eBay...

Hello, new guy here I posted an introduction on that page. I just picked this up yesterday at a garage sale. First vintage mini bike and I don't know much about it. I'm hoping you guys could help. I believe the motor is a Jacobson. I do know its a 2 cycle. No idea of the cc. The seat says...

Got this taco 33 today.. so close to being a survivor bike. its missing the brake lever and clutch guard .... couldn't believe it when i saw it.

Help me out guys, what kind is it? Thank you

Got a tip from a member here on OldMiniBikes, last weekend at the Ann Arbor swap meet , about this heathkit being for sale near me. I kept bugging him for the guys contact info and it paid off.... big time. So a big thanks going out to Dave for the info. I really appreciate it.

I've seen a bunch of roper builds on here and was wondering where you guys got the bushings for the forks and neck tube. I believe they are 3/4" by 5/8".

Just picked this up from an auction. It will be my 3rd bike but I'm having issues finding what model or make the bike is to get the project going. Thanks guys!
