I remember a time not so long ago, I enjoyed doing other things.... Then one day I came across a Craigslist ad that instantly caught my attention because I had never heard of, nor seen, a Minibike before. The concept of the little engine, little tires, little cute banana seat just seemed, well, cute. Kids toy. Anyway, checked it out, seemed like a fair deal at 100 bucks so I brought it home. Needless to say it didn't take long to learn stuff about it, see what others have done with theirs, and realize I just friggin scored! I love this thing. Riding it, working on it, talking about it, reading about it- I wasn't even angry when I had to push it 2 miles...
So all that being said, I'm pretty stoked about this forum. My friends are sick of me talking about the damn thing, and they never have any good answers or feedback anyhow! Glad to be here, glad y'all are here too.
Now here goes. I'm dealing with a couple of different issues right now. I only drive it on the streets in town and no lights is no fun. I bought some 55watt healights yesterday hoping it would work. But the bracket is all weird, and the more I look at it the more I like the stock headlight. But it's all rusted, and whatever was there to seal out water and hold the bulb inside of the assembly, is gone. Wires just hang in there and as far as I have found, I can only replace the entire thing for 44.99. Not bad, but I recall it was very dim when it worked, led is nice and bright ultimately keeping me from hitting the horrible pot holes we have here in Colorado Springs. Turn signals and brake light would be ideal- but I get the magneto thing (sorta) and will just do a little battery operated strobe or something for now. Any ideas you got- I'm more than happy to hear.

Woo hoo! I feel like I'm not the only obsessed one now!
