Mounting a Mini on a wall

[gotee193]

Looking for ideas for how to mount a minibike from a wall.

Assuming a full bike, frame, tires, and engine. Probably have to make a custom shelf that is capable of 200-300 lbs. (just to be safe). Mounted to the wall studs and a safety cable would be good to keep the bike from coming off the shelf by accident. Could cut a good amount of weight with a fake engine. Not sure if they have Styrofoam or plastic mock up small engines, like they do for V8's. Though gutting (no crank, rod, piston, cam, or valvetrain) an old engine would drop a good amount of weight. If it just for display.

For lighter bikes I only use 1 bracket bolted to a stud.

Depending on the wall…I’d come off a stud with an arm of some sort and use a 7/8 or 1” frame clamp and make it look suspended…?

Hang it from the ceiling!!!

 

[sparkwizard]

I second the ceiling!

 

[Skipp]

better be a high ceiling…I bang my damn head every time I get in that tool box…

Maybe mount a set of those old carriers, that bolted to the bumper, off the wall’s framing.

They never look as good on the ceiling unless it is like a Go Kart frame only mounted upside down pan Flush and even then you have to be back too far to appreciate it, Wall gives contrast.

P.S. Skipp,
Love that light green engine. What is it from and what size/year?

That’s a special motor…68 hs40…very light use…going on That 67 bonanza hanging there…

On the far right there’s a matching hs50
