    Tags, what's it mean?

    I got this when I tried to start a thread asking what size bolts do I need to get to mount my OldMiniBikes chain guard to a HF 6.5 motor. The number of tags you tried to add to this thread exceeded the maximum number of tags by 1. BTW, if you know what size bolts and pitch I need please let me know...

    What's the difference between CC and HP?

    I was wondering whats the difference between CC and HP. How come some engines tell the horse power but not cc and some tell the cc but not the horsepower. Why is this? Is horse power how fast i goes and how strong it moves or something ? Then what is cc?

    What's this one?

    This has been for sale locally for a while and I'm kind of getting interested in it since the price is going down. Guy says it's a 3 speed. Is it some type of Honda knock off?

    What's wrong with me? DB30 #4

    I can't stop buying them. :shrug: The last two have the funky throttle setup with two arms coming up from the bottom of the engine. Both those are running crappy. I can't run them with less than half choke on. Ideas? The other 2 are 6.5's :smile: Is there a new plate or somthing to...

    What's this ?

    Extra plate welded on to front of engine plate to move engine forward. It's a friends and he says the seat tubing is "straight" from rear to front, not angled inward in front of seat like most frames are.

    What's the difference? Tav2, Tav3, Tav30..

    I see the various mini bike style bolt on the engine Torque-a-verter's out there, and notice that there's different models of them. Can somebody explain the differences for them? Obviously, there's different SHAFT sizes, so that explains that. However, WHY is there a "Tav2" or "Tav2-30", or a...

    What's the Difference Between a 5.5 and 6.5?

    What is the physical difference between the 5.5 (GX160), and the 6.5 (GX200)? I have to assume the the numbers mean 160cc and 200cc respectively. However the pistons and connecting rod are interchangable (I believe), so the bore is the same. The 5.5 has a smaller head combustion chamber, but...

    What's this from?

    Say Fellas, I got this swingarm in with a bunch of Fox Campus parts I bought recently. It doesn't belong to any Fox Campus that I've ever seen. Anyone know what it belongs to? Ogy

    Honda CT70 Shocks

    What is a good shock for a 1991 CT70 :shrug: I'm a 190 lb. adult. The originals (one is brand new from Honda) don't seem to have any dampening at all. Very bouncy. Any recommendations? I like the bike looking original. I am open to anything that will bolt on without modifications and will work.

    What's this one?

    I thought this was a Rupp because of the swingarm, but nothing else looks right. The seat says Indian, but it could be from anything. The wheels are 8 inch with drum brakes on both. Motor is a 3 hp Briggs, but probably not original either. Any ideas?

    What's a Good Off Road Mini Bike

    What's a good choice for an off road mini bike? Something to take on fields and trails. My son and I just rebuilt a Manco Thuderbird, but would like to move "up" after we play with it a little. I particularly don't like the brake on the Thunderbird. I hate to admit it, but I like the...

    What's Happened To Our Society?

    Not long ago, when I'd see somebody inadvertantly forget their automobile gas cap at the gas pump and drive away, I would have grabbed it and chased them down to return it so that their day was not ruined .... but something has changed .... just yesterday, I was just about to back out of the...

    What's this one?

    Just picked this up. Kinda looks like a Fox I have, but there are some differences. I know foot pegs are homemade and front wheel is wrong, but nothing else looks modified. So what is it????
