Nice looking machine. Well done !

keep your eye on the wields on that frame....thats a 60s frame from AMF made in little rock, ak....the steel is very soft...i know i cut one in half...but youve done a fine job on the build...is that a 20 inch wheel on the back...?...hows that effect the speed....thanks foe sharing...Dennis

thats even better...i was just warning you of the problems...you can support the wields and you should be fine...youve done a great job...fire is up...i always like the frame...nice stile...good lines..if you made a tank for the top bars on the inside...that would give support...now check those stickers and see if i'm right on little rock, ak....what i read was that factory was rated the worse in the nation for production of bicycles...get that thing fired up...i want to hear what you have to say....it looks like the engine fit in perfect...thanks for sharing...Dennis

every time i look at this it gets better...maybe its because i junked mine..ha...are you running a 26 inch wheel on the front...if i remember that frame was for 24...but who cares...that thing might do wheelees....where a seat belt...you have a nice ride going...take your time and let me know how its going once and awhile...Dennis

i bet your having fun....i've seen a mount like that on some of the chopper bikes...hows the speed...take off...top end...i'm interested in the small wheel...what are you running for oil...Dennis

sounds interesting...have you ajusted your clutch?...if you pull in your cluch handle, the bike should roll freely...if you let it out it should not be able to move...you should have to pedal a little bit before you pop the clutch...does your idle stay steady at idle...?as for oil i have tried a lot of different oils...what your running is excellant oil and i believe is 50 to 1 after break in...the best regular oil i've used was pennsoil...2 stroke...i now use opti 2 or i get it from us2oil...you can get this on ebay...just punch in opti-2 or us2oil..i think its the best yet...so far...ha....remember these engines are cheap...2 strokes....if you keep them sealed up good you will be fine...make sure you check all your nuts after evey run...you should run your head bolts at 12 lb...what i do after break in, i put goop on all the nuts...intake,motor mounts...not exhaust...that stuff is strong and holds great...as fas as gasket sealer i use black permatex on the intake and black where carb slides onto the intake...i use gray or copper on the exhaust...well have fun but be carefull...keep a eye on the frame and the nuts on the engine...any other ?'s you have ask...i'm not the best but i've put 3 of these things togeather ...and there still up and running....if i cannt help you there is pleanty of people 0n the forum that can...see ya Dennis

oh...mini bike exhaust on ebay will have what you want...
