I just bought this. Can someone tell me what it is or some good sites where I can learn more about the engine and how it all works. For shits and giggles is it worth 175. Im cool with it but just want to see if I got ripped off. I cant freaking wait.....
Thas pretty cool. Anything happens in Georgia? Im registered on Old Minibikes now but couldnt find anything.
Mini-Bike Madness this Saturday May 30th 2pm at Ralfs56's two acre "estate" out off M-14 and Ford Rd on the boarder of Ypsi and Ann Arbor. If you wanna join us with your mini-bike or go-cart PM me for his address and I'll give you the details.
The Mcquire twins sure looked good on their mini bikes.. I often fear looking like this on my Puch Maxi.. but have quite a ways to go
here's my 1958 C.F. Struck, briggs 6-B engine-army surplus from 58 according to briggs records. the guy that had it before me contacted briggs for parts and they came to his house to take pictures for thier records don't know much more about it, Struck is still in business building minidozers though
Just about got mine ready for the mini bike drags at the Rust Revival. I just have to mount the temp gas tank until I find what I am looking for. I ask several times about the band type brakes. I hope what I did is right and works ok. I used the band brake on the clutch. Keith
Nice Cat 400JS The band brake on the clutch is fine...until the chain falls off. Make sure it's on good and tight. BTW, utilize those jackshaft brackets for lower gearing. You'll love the off the line acceleration.
no, but here's the original ad. the old guy went on and on about it. or maybe he was a great salesman?.........
Nice catch. The rear tire is too large and the brake pad wouldn't fit. I'm going to find a smaller tire and refit the brake. (as my daughter will ride it)
Liberace made your mini bike. That is a Shrunken Cycle from a few years back, Craig, uhhh, I mean Liberace (from the HAMB) made a schitload of these things, he made a couple of them with 6 foot long forks, hahaha.
cool bikes. got bored one day and made this with spare parts. is apart right now being rebuilt and painted. will post again when done.
Heres one I purchased recently over here in NZ. They were around in the early 70's and called a Trutest. It runs a 3 hp Briggs and Stratton that looks to be the original engine.
Does mine count? Its a 1972 Tri-cat that i got for $300 about 2 or 3 months ago in running condition and Its got a 5HP briggs and stratton 4 Cycle. Well, heres the pics And heres the original brochure BTW, im looking to try my hand at upholstering the original pleated seat cover thats missing. So you might see something pop up soon.
