Hi all. I'm starting a build that I like to call. Parts to pit bike.
I recently finished my last bike to a point that I was happy with.It's a mix of three or four bikes, maybe more that I made into one over the years. I also used second hand parts and ebay items to make my bike It turned out good so I decided to make another.
I got a bunch of parts for $50. Just parts in a big pile. So there is. 3 sets of rims and some spares, tyres,usd forks, two really good frames, one 125cc or maybe 140cc engine with carbie ect but missing loom cdi and coil, good back shock, set of ok black plastics, green seat, black seat, long range tank with cap, three swing arms.kick stand, muffler but no pipe, a box full of bearings and bolts that needs to be dropped off, and some other small bits.
Basically enough to build a motorbike with the parts that I brought and the parts left over in the shed.
The plan is to repaint the frame and engine but leave the plastics in a crap condition so I don't really care if they get broken and scratched. I will use an aluminium swing arm so I don't need to worry about paint. So the plan is to have a bike that I care about but at the same time is tough and that I don't really care if I drop.
I might do some engine mods but I don't want to spend too much on it.
My tiny car can carry a surprising amount of stuff
Thanks for reading
