Modern upgrades on vintage minibikes

[IJG]

I think this might be my next project':shrug:
I have a purchased an old minibike about 2 yrs ago
It is a Australian made Toyoco Alligator.
I was wondering the limitations I may encounter':shrug:
Hopefully Before attempting the transformation mode of full on Replacement Part's & Repairs. :doah::facepalm:
Will a Upgrade motor mount fit on the 2 stock motor mount flat bars?
I would like to utilize another predator :thumbsup:
There power full enough for my liking with upgrades.:wink:
The Blue Paint on this bike is old & It reminds me of a an old Mopar race car color from the 70's.

Looks like you have a fun project! :thumbsup:

I think you could bolt a Predator in there now, but there are 3 things I would do if I had that bike.

1. Cut out those two bars and weld in a flat motor plate with the motor slightly more forward of where it is now.

2. Add a jackshaft so I could center the motor better, and easier gear swaps, shorter chains.

3. Add a hinge style seat mount like this:

Do as much or as little as you want. Make it they way you like it!

All of what you mentioned sounds very good except'

Do you think the Billet motor mount will fit?
it slides forward with slots.

Pic is a Golden Pinto.

The billet motor plate should bolt on.

Cool Thanks

Yeah I am looking forward to making her a nicer ride.
it's a 5' rim set drum brake syatem & thick 1'' tube frame & fork,no clue of the axle sizes. I know the axles are much thicker than 5/8th.
