I had a mini bike as a kid. Damn near killed myself. Good times. Good times. I wonder if spinners for a golf cart will work on it? I would definantly go to Tractor Supply or Northeast Tool and Supply and get the biggest motor that will fit into it.

Maybe you could fabricate some bodywork to make it look more like your 8?

If you show your car, it could get you some brownie points.

I ment show your car as in at a car show. My brother used to do that YEARS ago. He had a little peddle car painted like his. Always got him bonus points.

Thanks fellaz. It's transparent candy red..not to sure why they call it transparent but it really isnt. I like to call it Santa sleigh red lol. Hopefully by the end of the weekend I will have the motor degreased and painted to I can mount it. After that I need to work on the rear swingarm...
