So my friend bought this mini chopper frame and motor and all the stuff to go with it while we were in high school (about 5 years ago) but had no fabrication skills or knowledge to put it together. Over thanksgiving break we kinda made a bet with ourselves that we'd put this thing running by the end of winter break. Kinda our own mini chopper build off lol.
In about 3 weeks we managed to go from a bare frame to running bike. It's not perfect, but we got a lot further than I ever thought we would. Main problems are there's no pegs (engine is so far forward makes it hard to put them somewhere, fender doesn't really fit the wheel, no brake cable, and it's balls slow.
Couldn't get a brake cable long enough to go from the rear brake to the handle bars since it really should be a pedal. Since it's so slow though with the motor being a 70cc piece of chinese garbage with it popping off the mounting bolts 3 times, leaking oil, no real clutch, and missing 3rd gear, we're going to look for a nice 125cc with a 4 speed and a real clutch and then splurge and get a real front wheel with a hub for the brake disc on it. Should make it a lot more real and a lot more fun to ride.
Was definitely worth the experience and I'm pumped to start building other stuff now. Definitely makes my datsun more of a reality and I really really wanna build a shifter cart with a big motor (600 maybe? lol).
So anyway on with the pics:
