I'm heading over tomorrow. Damn rain kept me home today. Hopefully there's still some good deals to be had.

I'm thinking about doing a big bore 2 stroke aircooled bobber. Just need to find one.

Re: 71 SL70 Mini Cafe Its been a while since my last update. Only because i was waiting for my seat to come back from upholstery. It was supposed to be 3 weeks but they called me yesterday and said it was done. While i was waiting on the seat i completely rewired the bike, rebuilt the carb and...

Re: 71 SL70 Mini Cafe Ive spent the last couplle days working on the little things like wiring, the seat foam, and other little bits. I spent 4 hours on the electrical system to find my ignition switch is fried. I pick up another one tomorrow along with some other little things. I did get the...

Re: 71 SL70 Mini Cafe That idea has been done a thousand times before I did it. Have at it.

Re: 71 SL70 Mini Cafe I decided to take yesterday off from the bike. today i got my exhaust figured out. after some trial and error i ended up with a trail hopper muffler and a custom header made out of some .75 conduit. all it needs is some paint. The kick starter does hit the exhaust but...

Re: 71 SL70 Mini Cafe Well, i didnt get much done today, i found a few small problems that need addressed. Those being the shifter not clearing my new ignition cover, and a hack job on my front brake. not big issues but ones that cost me time digging through boxes of spares and coming up empty...

Re: 71 SL70 Mini Cafe After a ton of body work the bike is finally painted. It took a lot of work but she looks like a thousand bucks. Here are some pics of her as she sits now. I think i did well on picking the color on this one. I also got a lot of fiddley stuff done like polishing my...

Re: 71 SL70 Mini Cafe Yesterday was a long day and I didnt get as much done as i wanted to. The body work is almost done but I'm still a long way from finished. I picked up the parts from powder and they look great. Then I started assembly. Heres my frame, Its all silvery. Heres the rest...

Re: 71 SL70 Mini Cafe I got my seat, tank and a few other bits from the blasters today. I spent 2 hours welding up my seat and started body work. While i was waiting for the mud to dry i rebuilt my forks. Powder coat is done and I pick it up tomorrow. Should have at least a roller tomorrow...

Re: 71 SL70 Mini Cafe Just for shits and giggles i mocked the parts before boxing them to take to the powder coat. I decided not to mess with polishing the brake plates, im just gonna have them powered. Any way, heres the pics. I just waiting on parts. God I hate waiting.

Re: 71 SL70 Mini Cafe Is that a 140 you have in there? I think you may have a little more oomph than I do. I was looking for a hard tail 50 when I came across this, just couldn't pass it up. At 6'2" I'm gonna look like a monkey fuggin a football either way. I have enough bikes now that I...

Re: 71 SL70 Mini Cafe I spent 8 hours on the little guy today. The motor is all done and waiting for the paint to dry. I didnt take any pics during the big bore install, it is however relatively simple. There were a couple surprises inside the engine. The first being the condition of the old...

Re: 71 SL70 Mini Cafe Bigbore kit got here today. I know where I'll be tomorrow. Ill post pics of the build tomorrow. I'm getting a bit excited. This time next week the bike should be in at least a rolling chassis with the engine installed. I love it when a bike comes together.

Nice little bike, I love the color, any chance you would still have the paint code? I wanna use it on my Sl70.

Re: 71 SL70 Mini Cafe Right now I'm just gonna run the 88cc kit, I need to keep the money low on this build. Not to say it won't get a bigger power plant down the road. What, like Old Milwaukee Light?

My dad has a pair of cushman scooters, we restored one last winter and the other is currently all assembled awaiting its painted parts before we call it done. I currently have 5 bikes but nothing small enough I can ride with him and feel like I'm part of the club. I originally wanted a rigid...

Ground clearance is set at 4". My rat bike sets at the same height and works well. I think I will do a longer bump seat. I am not the gentleman in the picture, I am however the same height (6'2") I however weigh about 70 lbs less so the pegs should be ok. I think I need to heavily modify the...

I need to decide what I need to do with the back of the bike. Here's my 2 concepts. sorry about the shitty drawings Brat Special Both are a little off in the dimensions but you get the idea. Opinions?

thanks for the info but ive already been there. its great stuff.
