I know there are many many vintage mini bike manufacturers out there. Some are designed for kids and some larger. I am 6'6" tall and looking to build a pit bike for when I go to track with friends. My concern is with suspension bikes I may bottom out rear shocks due to me being 275lbs. So my best guess is I am looking for a larger frame mini bike with solid rear suspension, possible front suspension that I can transfer my parts from this Azusa to. It also looks as if any mini bike with jack shaft does not allow room for TAV2 unless rear wheel mounts are re-located.
Just adopted an Azusa from a neighbor. Had a cracked block Tecumseh 3.5 power stroke, TAV2 torque a verter with a nice set of 8" rims/tires. Has the straight bars rather than curved they sell now and has limited knee room. I can purchase the new bars for $35 but still a small bike. Got a scratch/dent 6.5 Robbin motor from small engine warehouse to utilize.
Please educate me on my best options. Many look similar in size in pics. Only ones that seem a bit larger are Bonanzas. True?
Thanks for any insight. Now that I am done with car restoration onto next project.
