Jdogg's scratch built Frijole anything goes 2016 OldMiniBikes build off entry
Last small update for the month!
Put on a 33th sprocket on the rear instead of the 35th and ordered a 15th for the front but still waiting.....cut all my wheel spacers...will have to upload some picts! Made a bracket for the coil and other electronics and to hide the wiring.....hope it doesn't get too hot down there!!
New plug wire:
New throttle...cheapy....worked out nice and I like the adjustments on the throttle tube that are hidden inside ...has increments for the cable barrel:
Wanted to try a Molkt carburetor in 26mm so I stuck one on.....if it doesn't run good I still have the ol' Mikuni! Hey David W. have you had any experience with these good or bad?
Welded the disc brake to the jack shaft gear....need to make a bracket from the adjustable mount on the jack shaft to mount the caliper to:
Cables somewhat routed for now:
Oh yeah there was something extra special that came in the mail the other day.....very happy with it!! (doesn't happen very often as I'm pretty picky) :laugh: Thank you Karen!! :thumbsup:
Received my powder coat also!! Lots still to do!! Had waaaay too much going on this weekend and never made it to the shop for some weld and fab time!! :sad: Hopefully soon as I'm not looking forward to wearing a red nose!! :laugh:

Hey Jason the bike is looking great . On the carb never have tried that brand but you might have too much carb though . I have a piranha 140 on a pit bike , it's pretty mean motor . The standard carb is a 22mm mikuni , the upgrade is a 26 mm mikuni found slide . That's the carb I got and it's at the edge of being to big . It comes with 190 main jet standard . Piranha sends a 140 -150 -160 jets , I'am running the 140 and have a slight bog off the bottom but screams up top . The carb you have IDK if it will or not , your is a 125 right . That's a lot of carb , I think your motor would totally scream with a 22 mm carb and be responsive .
Kinda what I was thinking Mr. Wulf!! Thanks so much for all your input!! Yes its a 125cc David. Yeah that throttle tube on the Molkt looks huge!! :laugh: One more question for you while I got you on the line.....The 22mm Mikuni that was on it runs great but I get a little steady bit of gas out of the over flow tube when its running......I'm pretty sure the float is not stuck as I cleaned the carb one day and it still does it! Maybe the little conical rubber stopper on the float is dried out and not shutting off the flow or maybe I could bend the little metal tab it is on to add more pressure? Look forward to any thoughts you have on this matter! Anyone is free to chime in too! Thanks!! :thumbsup:

Anybody know what thickness of metal is acceptable for a foot peg mount? The reason I ask is I can bend the material at home out of 1/8'' thick stock and have it ready and drilled for the pin when I get a chance to take everything to the shop to weld them on! Any thicker and I'm going to need some heat...which is also at the shop! Frame is going to be powder coated so I need it to be right the first time....no fixing available later!
Here's what I got but really no need to go any further if its too thin! Normally I would just go thicker but I'm trying to get some of it done at home as finding time to get over to the shop is far and few these days! Anyone know what thickness Bonanza used on there mid pegs? Thanks all!!

Drilled out the holes for the foot peg mounts....hate doing that cause if you get them even slightly off the pegs will not sit level
Made the seat bracket out of some angle iron as I needed a little drop down tab to get it to sit level
And I made the tank bracket
Here's how it sits now....really need to get busy on the jack shaft, slot the engine plate, weld up the engine mount bracket and make a disc brake mount on the jack shaft!!!! :doah:
