What's up with that center stand? I think it's upside down.

The PO welded a bar across the bottom of the stand. I was going to cut it off but it kind of works better that way.

Re: Seat cover snaps.
They (finally) sent you the correct one the third time or you bought some snaps and installed them yourself?

No. They sent two without snaps then refunded my payment claiming they were having problems with the supplier. I stole some of my wife’s snaps and stuck them on. Now I’m trying to get AutoExpress to send a 6” driven instead of the 7” they mistakenly sent. Nothing is easy anymore.

That is a pretty nice looking seat cover and one hell of a good value for only $ 10.00 shipped!

Nice heavy vinyl too. They sent me two so now I have a spare (no snaps of course)

Wow man that looks frickin amazing! I'm wanting to do a vintage build but I cannot find a roller for the life of me. I don't have a ton of resources to my disposal cuz im only 16 w/o a license in texas, but keep up the good work man!

Didn’t you trade a kart for a mini bike?

It ended up being a POC pocket bike. I just cut off a bunch of stuff and am putting a pred clone on it and gonna try and sell it for pretty cheap.

I think it was. Kept me entertained for 3 weeks a guys got to do something to keep busy. But I think 300 was too much to pay.

 

[Minimichael]

I can't believe how quickly you got it done! And I'd venture that minis worth a few dollars more than 300 as it stands. Are you keeping it?

I’m pretty sure it will be at my estate sale someday. I think I’m going look for 70s or 80s dirt bike project next like a 250 something.

No problem, glad to help. What I want to know is how does she ride.
