I have finally accumulated enough basic parts to do a mock-up of my shifter minibike project. This is my first minibike build. I'm using a frame built by Bad Dog and a Loncin 125cc motor/4-speed transmission. I went with the Loncin because I could get it with electric start. I have been very fortunate as Professor jdogg has been very helpful, answering all of my questions.
I plan on powder coating the paint: green frame, yellow wheels, oxblood red seat and grips. These are the colors of the old (like me) Lotus 25 Formula One car from 1962-63. I'm waiting for my tachometer to be delivered from a company who offers the choice of bezel style, color and font of the numbers. I just ordered 1/4" thick-4" diameter aluminum discs, which I will sandwich together in order to mate the driven sprocket to the rear wheel. Now I've got to order hydraulic brake components.
