Before

 

WOW...some of these rebuilds are really coming out NICE!!!

Great jobs!

 

I've been trying to track one down for the "right" price for a long time and finally picked this up last night! It was stripped down completely by the end of the night. Paint starts today.

Me too! I've been looking for one to get around Bonneville, but small enough to lift and store in my storage shed.There's some great info in the old R&C small magazines.

 

Oooooooo....tripple engines!!! no wonder that pic is out on the salt! (needs some streamline body panels)

 

we just picked one up for the boy about a week ago its a little 5 hp

 

I've got an older mini, but it's nothing pretty.

I'm looking for a "Skat Kitty" though, if any of you have one or parts of one (frame and forks) that might be for sale...PM me.

 

My 100th post! I know they're Trail Honda's, but I just dig the images. Thankyew, thank ya vera much.....

 

Thats a Cat

 

Building one for the Billetproof drags in October.
What I bought...



and the same thing a week later! I still have lots to do, but you see where I'm headed.



Check out the "LAW".....Long Ass Wheelie bars!

 

here is a couple of pictures of my bike i just finished the white is before paint.
I just cant get a good shot of the metal flake on the orange,
As you can see the last shot is the shot before I go to the lone star round up. hahahahahaha

 

I have a dozen VINTAGE Mini Bikes. I am a member of the Long Island Mini Bike Owners. We are loose knit group dedicated to the preservation and enjoyment of vintage mini bikes.

 

Awesome. Let's see some pics

 

I have a few in my stable:

1972 Cat - Restored - Red Bike
1969 ARCo - Original - Yellow Bike; Milled Head, Big Valves added, 5 hp carb/tank
1945 Kraft (repro) - Jigg'd Reproduction in process, using 40's Briggs and updraft Carb...check out the springer front end!

Craft pictured with brick wall is original that I scaled from paper and bringing to life. Only 12 were ever made, and 2 known to exist.

 

That Kraft is beyond cool. Love the fork and vintage Briggs.

 

This thing is gonna be so bad-assed!!! I frikken LOVE the tail piece! What a neat original idea!

 

I've thought about building a super tiny mini-bike. does anybody have any good pics of something like that?? I know there's gotta be some old Shriner's & clown mini-bike pics out there like this.

 

'69-70 Cat Eliminator from what i can gather. It's in about 100 pieces now and is getting painted/polished now. I'm hoping to be tearing up the back alleys soon

 

Some real inspiration to get mine going. I can't find a motor for it but then again haven't looked as hard as I could for one either, lol. What kind of info can you guys give me on it? The best I can find is like two pictures on the net and they say it's a Fuji Go-devil. I don't know if it's rare or what. Thanks in advance guys! Oh and the other picture is of my Schwinn with a motor on it.

 

Let's see some more MORE DOOR MINIS !!!! >>>>.

 

Here's mine. Its an old sears and roebucks.

 

looks like some kid hit a tree wid it!.

Now that spring is here I'm gonna be pulling them out of storage. There will be some photos up after the weekend. Meantime, google The Minibike Reunion Windber PA

 

My newest score. I'm so stoked! I've been looking for one of these for a reasonable price for a LONG time...

 

Skat Kittys are so fuckin' cool, so obscure.

 

I've gotta make it out there sometime.

 

Here is my kid riding my Skat Kitty:
