Hello from across the pond, Here is a few pic's of my project. After a good friend show'd me a pic of a custom Mini bike i just had to build one, Ive not seen another one in the country

Plan is to use is as a pit pic when i race my drag race Ford Anglia

I want to shorten the height of the bars and maybe the rear hoop!

Thanks fella's. Ive orderd a clone GX200 (7hp) as the motor sat in it is a damaged motor from a genorator

Thumbs up!
Have you thought about the rear lower frame when turning / leaning? Hate to see it bust welds and get "rashed" up. That thing is crazy low! / Cool deal.

Yer i know, the front ride hight can be ajusted on the yokes, will have to lift the rear up when i mount the rear wheel!(sadly)

Welcome, somebody from the UK posted a story about how they were crushing minis and pocket rockets, when they were caught riding them in neighborhoods. They were even encouraging people to turn the riders in!

Hello popdragin, thanks for posts. Rear components off kart? Looks like 25mm axle to me.

I am thinking about building a minidragbike and live rear axle looks like way to go. I was thinking probably go with 1" solid axle (kart components readily available USA). :thumbsup:

Good comment from Casey Davis.

 

[popdragin]

Yer its all kart stuff on the rear, its a 30mm axle(it was cheap) I used to work at a kart track so knew what all the stuff was and how it worked,+ its really easy to buy here too(ebay)

here is a pic of the Anglia, run a best of 9.75 @140mph

Sweet:thumbsup:

Maybe if there were more mini bikes there would be less rioting. I know, I know, that's not fair. I'm sure England is, for the most part, a swell place to live. Good luck with the current situation, though.

 

[popdragin]

Hahaha, Thanks. luckily thats was away from where i am!

 

[ivan_a_89]

[popdragin]
