Mini Bike Sears Roper frame

[markus]

Thanks Matt,
They Azuza parts on the OldMiniBikes parts site are almost $100.00 more than another site called Go CartUSA. Do you know anything about that site and the quality of parts they sell? What length of chain do I need? Do you know what size wheel and tire the Roper frame uses?

4.10/3.50x6" in order for the scrub brake to work best.

This is the 11" exhaust from OldMiniBikes...

when did you get the exhaust OldMiniBikes looks to be out of stock

Last week, keep checking... it was out of stock for a week or so before i ordered.

It popped back in stock and i fired the order away.

Reed, here is a pic of the Roper that I'm currently working on. As you can see, I used the Azusa front wheel on it, and you can see the way the jack shaft is set up. if you choose to go that route. Mine still has a ways to go, but its getting there. :thumbsup:

Matt,
Looking good so far. I like the concept of the jack shaft. There appears to be plenty of room for it on the Roper frame.

Most of them came with jackshafts on them, but not all. Yours already has the brackets, and mounting holes for it. A kit like this one from OldMiniBikes would bolt right on. Adjustable Jackshaft Kit #35 13T 18T Lock Collars Key Stock - Weld On

Most annoying part of a roper build for me was the brakes i am no expert and i dislike the scrub brake and finding a disk brake setup i could handle myself and worked was difficult. Good luck:thumbsup:

This band brake I put on the clutch on my Roper works great. It skids the tire very easy.

I am the least technical guy on the OldMiniBikes, so I wont dazzle you with my lack of knowledge, but am in the process of rebuilding a Roper and have learned a lot in the last three weeks. First of all, Ropers have 1/2 inch axles, which can be as simple as fine thread grade 8 bolts (6" front, 8" back). OldMiniBikes and gokart world have great stuff, also look for deals on ebay. You want 6" wheels with 3.50 x4.10 x6 tires. Like already mentioned, this is a nice 1" tube frame, so you will need 1" grips ( most ore 7/8th). Great info if you search OldMiniBikes on how to hook up your throttle, Get some 7/8 tubing for the fold down footpegs that mount in those boxes on your frame. You already have a scrub brake, OldMiniBikes sells replacement aluminum ones that bolt right up. Feel free to private message me for any specific help. That is help finding parts, not the technical stuff.
