i thought to myself , wow with that motor on it, it really makes the frame look different ... then i thought i need to wake up

installing a band brake setup

wanted to keep a clean look in the rear without a drum brake, so opted for a band brake, set up with an ajuster for pad wear and a cover to hold it in place, check it.

I love the hole in the taco cover, that's good stuff. I hope it is original, but I'm thinking its aftermarket. Nice cover up on the Brake setup though.

Very cool brake fab...it'll definitely fool a few people into thinkin' you've got no brakes.

looking good Edwin ,:drool: It takes skill to make a custom:thumbsup:,while anyone can clean up a old minibike and put it back stock.:repuke:

The Champion motor fits perfectly...very symmetrical.

Did you fab the carbon fiber velocity stack?

...and I think that frame might have been made by Mac...
