Hey everyone, as you can tell from my post count, im new here.
i have always had the privilage of riding Minibikes, right back to the very first MiniTrail 50 ever made (still going!)
recently i have managed to aquire a 74 model CT70. The motor is tired and i have sent it off to have a complete rebuild (car motors i can do, but i find bikes a little too fiddly!) so my Ideas are...
Strip back the 70, sand blast all the parts, REpaint everthing (showroom condition - Ford XR6 BluePrint colour!) rechrome the mud gaurds and dump a LIFAN 125cc motor into it from an ATOMIK thumpster which i have also come buy. I like the thumpster to ride, but it is not nearly as comfy or as safe as the 70.
Currently the 70 is in bits in the shed and a few parts are enjoying an acid bath.
I will post up pics as i go.
i just need to know, Who has done this? i know a few have, i just need to talk to a few people about the conversion process,
Cheers
Willis
