UK Mini Drag Bike

[tomhazard]

I just came across some pictures of an old mini drag bike I built.
This probably wont interest any of you in the slightest.
Every year theres a Power Tool Drag Racing event on in the UK. And with me being very much into drag racing I thought id have a go at building one.
I took a mini moto/pocket bike and made a drag bike out of it using a Stihl TS400 engine. The rules stated that it had to be powered by a hand held power tool and a Stihl saw was about the only engine I could fit in the bike.

This is how the bike started out.

This is the new lowered and stretched frame I made.

I gave it a quick splash of paint

Heres what it turned out like.

I did a full build diary on the project. Showing every step of the build. Way more detailed than the project build I did on here. it turned out ok.

I like how you call that killer skull paint job "a quick splash of paint". Nice work once again Tom. :thumbsup:

How long is the wheelie bar and what's the length of the whole bike?

Nice bike, I guess it is pretty similar isnt it. Did you do a project log on the bike?

Wheel base is approx 1.2m and the wheelie bars are about a meter long.

It probably works out about 2.4m overall from the front of the front wheel to the back of the wheelie bar wheels.
