Just thought you guys might like to see a little mini action tonight (no I am not talking about my penis). I plan on getting her on the road by next weekend.... Sam and I made the forks last Sunday. I have the wheels, motor and some killer bars for this one... Plans are to use an old back half of an 80's skate deck for the seat ... Anyone have an old powell or zorlac skate deck that they want to donate??? I was a dumbass and threw out all my old decks about 12 years ago If you have one that is broken in the nose area, that would be great as I plan on cutting the nose off anyway.... I will be running an old cast iron bottle opener on the front fork plate and I am trying to decide if I want to build a cooler side car or trailer to haul my alkihol in... I will post pic's of me busting my ass on it (hopefully in the next week) BBBRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!! HC
I like your front axle. Is that a Snap-On screwdriver or small prybar? Paint on a Snap-On tool...man thats blasphemy. Cool project though, good luck.
I need to get a front axel.... I had to mock it up with something (screwdriver was sittin' right there) and if I used my dick (which was my first choice), I would not have been able to step back and take the pic's HC
now they're gonna call you pencil dick I did the same thing with some taller bars for more leg room, you cant turn otherwise.
Here's 'Squank!' with the cool Hamilton lettering up front... done at the RoundUp. After he finished, I tried to fire it up to take a few victory laps and the plastic recoil starter rope-winder-thingie shattered into eleventy-thousand-hundred pieces. Gonna finally fix it today.
Blake, that kickstand rocks!! Hami did a bang up job on the lettering, too...wish I coulda seen it at the Round-Up! Dig the skinny front wheel, too. Hank...the side car idea is GREAT! I like the skate deck seat as well. The HAMB has some of the most creative people on the planet.
ohhhh, that kickstand is the shit's tits! I have been looking for an easy and simple way to prop up the mini-chopper (you can sorta see it in the background) and that is what I'm gonna do... Where do I send the royalty check???? HC
Thanks for the feedback - the idea was for the outline of the 'Squankstand' to follow the angle of the top tubes between the seat and fork - fill in that space when not in use. I rushed this one for the RoundUp, so gotta make another one that fits a little better and then rig up a way to mount it.
Dude! Theres a freakin RABBITT in your garage!! one of these days I have to stop playing with the freeway-going megabike and put my minibike together...
Ive been planning on building one of those minibikes. But since i live in Sweden ive only seen pictures of them. The one we built here used 50cc moped engines. But ima flathead guy and want a flathead powered minibike. I have i 2 hpr Briggs&Stratton And a centrifugal clutch,to start with. But i need some info on gearing,sprocket size and such pictures anyone?
