Abandonment

OK, the new build is an abandoned mini bike, but this one has a rear swing arm and shocks and springs. I'll make more post as the progress comes along.

I like it. It's a lot more of a small MC than most minibikes.

10" wheels but swing arm suspension in the rear. The PO had a 3 horse on there that he blew up, I think he ran it dry. With the new B&S 212 and clutch (TAV) it's going to rip. NOT A KIDS BIKE ANYMORE!

I put the handlebars and grips on, connected the throttle and worked on the seat. Still have to weld that up, or the framework at least. Then figure out what the cover will be.

Got the framework for the seat all cut out, weld her up tomorrow. Then I can work on the tin and foam.

 

[Chainlube]

Got the seat frame all welded together, even with my new to me but very used welder.

Seat frame with attached mounting bracket and wood for the leather. I drilled the holes and test fit the wood, I'll swap out the bolts for T nuts and screw it all together from underneath.

That exhaust pipe right underneath the prone to failure tank mounting bolts is scaring me.

 

[Chainlube]

Don't let that scare you, it's not going to be that way for long. That pipe is just keeping dust out, not even bolted down. Besides, I don't want my nads to be that warm.

That's gonna be a cool little scoot ya got there

I got a little bit more done on the seat. Covered it in 3 different foams, now it's ready for the leather cover, which I'll get done in the next couple days.
Used some 3M foam fast to glue it all down with.
