INTRODUCTION

Research the necessary cost & tools required to start this project. It
would be a disappointment to start but never finish. Keep in mind that
you could rent or have the more complex work done for you if you do
not have the experience or the tools. Get written quotes for material
and labor. This will help protect you from being overcharged.
Tools Required
Tube bender
Welder, (I use a small Lincoln 135t portable welder)
Drill
Wrenches, sockets, grinder, screwdrivers, hole saw, etc.
Where to Begin
I started by building the frame, bending the necessary tubes to create the main
frame and the handlebars. I used the details I have provided to make these parts. I
tack-welded the frame only until I had the complete mini bike built. I wanted to
be sure the position of the handlebars; foot pegs and seat fit my nephew.
Make sure the engine and clutch are aligned straight with the rear sprocket. This
is critical to smooth operation.
Make sure the rear tire is also aligned straight. I used a make-shift wooden jig to
hold the frame while I measured to ensure the axel bolt was in the right position. I
drilled the holes first, then using clamps, positioned them in the right position
before tack welding.
Do not allow any pre-test runs before the brakes have been added. I have seen a
few minor spills that could have been much worse because the bike was ridden
without brakes.
Have all worked checked by a professional. Good welds are vital to safety!
Measure twice - cut once. Be safe!!!!! I miscalculated a few times and had to go
back for more tube. I found out that it is a heck of a lot more expensive when you
only buy in small quantities. Quite often the cut charge is more than the piece you
may have needed.


Use only D.O.M tube.
All water pipe, conduit, fencing, etc., have different properties. They
also are not a true and perfect diameter. When you bend these using a
precision bender, the bends are weak because they do not fit the dies
correctly.

Helpful Hints


Plan, Plan, Plan - Building on the fly is fun but can be costly! Take
the time to understand the project, the materials and the total cost.

Measure twice - cut once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the golden rule!!!!!!!!

Good professional welds are important!! Do not compromise
safety!!!!!

When welding the frame, tack it first!!!! You may want to change
the frame to fit your needs and a tack can be easily removed!

Build the jig; it is well worth the extra time. It will ensure the
frame is straight and accurate

Ebay has some great deals!!!!!!!!!!!! Shop around for the best
prices!

Be sure you have brakes! Resist the temptation of that first ride
unless the bike is complete.

Take your time!! Do not cut corners!! You will end up with a
much better final project

Be sure you know how to operate the required tools. If you dont,
seek the assistance of somebody who does. This project can be a
great learning tool.

Wear all necessary protective clothing when working with
grinders, welders, and other power tools.

Always wear safety glasses when working with ANY tools.

make a mock gusset and then trace it onto your plate steel.

Main Starting Point for The Frame


1. Begin by tack welding the lower frame rails, foot rest and rear support. The
position of the rear support is dependant on the size of your rear tire. I also use it
to hold the rear fender. Only tack weld these pieces !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You
may run into problems and find you would like to move some of the frame
parts !!!!!!!!!

This set up will be the most important!

Mini Chopper #2 The Little Tyke

REAR TIRE SIZE 15 X 6.00 6
FRONT TIRE 16 BICYCLE
ENGINE 2-6.5HP

Suitable for young riders and smaller engine sizes (2hp to 6.5hp).
One of the benefits of a frame this size is the availability of parts. Most of these parts can
be purchased from a go-kart or mini-bike parts supplier. This is a great frame for younger
riders because the forks are not as stretched-out as other models.

Main Starting Point for The Frame


Begin by tack welding the lower frame rails, foot rest and rear support. The position of
the rear support is dependant on the size of your rear tire. I also use it to hold the rear
fender. Only tack weld these pieces !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You may run into
problems and find you would like to move some of the frame parts !!!!!!!!!

This set up will be the most important!

BE SURE TO USE 7\8 DIAMETER TUBE FOR YOUR HANDLE BARS, THIS IS

Detail#2
Tube length approximately 8.0 , Diameter 1.0, Wall thickness .120
Notch for 7\8 handle bars
Make the riser to suit your body position. You may also wish to buy a bolt-on type riser. I
formed mine by cutting the arc on a 2x6. I heated the tube and bent it to the desired arc. I
then welded it to the triple trees.

FRAME DETAIL #3A & 3B STEERING NECKS
The most common steering neck is a 1 5\8, .120wall piece of D.O.M tube (this
will require two bearings to be pressed-in). This is the best way to go!
Some older frames use a 1, .120 wall tube. This requires no bearings.

Mounting the Forks to the Frame!
Option #1

Mount the forks to the frame using a 3\4-10nc x 8 or 1\2-16nc x 8 bolt

Option #2

You may also choose to replace detail 3 with a 1 5\8, .120 wall D.O.M tube; this
will allow you to use bearings in the neck. You will have to adjust the tube
notches on the other frame components.

Torque Converter Drive

A torque converter set up is not as complicated as it may sound. When
you buy the unit it comes complete with everything you will need to mount
it and use it. In most cases you can install one of these units in about 15
minutes. The unit will bolt to your engine using 4 bolts. The primary drive
pulley will mount to your engines shaft.

If you choose to use a torque converter set-up you will need to add a
roller. I used a roller from a two-stroke dirt bike and mounted a small
bracket to the frame. This will act as a support and guide to the chain
and keep it from rubbing on the frame.

Rear Brakes
Below I show a mechanical type brake caliper. This unit will need to be
mounted to the frame. There are other options such as hydraulic disc brake
set-ups and friction bands.
If you are planning to use a mechanical brake system, I suggest the rotary
brand mechanical disc brake part# 04-9306.

The rotary brand mechanical brake as shown above is one of the best
mechanical brakes available.

Other Rear Brake Options

Clutch Band
Clutch Band: This style of brake is common on mini bikes.
Using an angle iron bracket, it rides on the clutch. As the brake
is activated, the band tightens around the clutch, stopping the
bike.



Rear Drum Brake

Rear Drum: There is also a drum style brake available. I have
never used one, but they do look slick.





Caliper Type Disc Brake

The caliper brake system shown below rides on the rear drive
sprocket. This unit can be mounted by making a custom
bracket.






Chain Guard

Dont forget safety! Be sure to protect
your little riders by adding a chain guard.
This unit is available at mfgsupply.com

You can even make the seat

Make a seat frame with 2 pieces of plywood cut to fit your frame.
Glue high density foam to the plywood
Then cover with leather, vinyl or any material you choose
Staple the covering to the wood
Hot-glue a piece of felt to hide the wood and staples














Choose your look!!!!



















If old school is the look you are after, try adding a solo seat and a set
of ape hanger handlebars

Helpful Info












If your seat rides on the fender. Be sure to add supports!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is when you will want to be sure your engine fits correctly.
Also be sure your rear tire has enough clearance.
If you are using a rear disc brake, be sure the width of the frame is adequate.
Also check for proper alignment from the rear sprocket to the front drive sprocket.
I use a long straight edge to be sure they are straight.
This is a good time to position the engine mount plate and holes.
