[hemigod2]

[cfazekas0441]

[sniegaviirs24]

this is fuc ing avesome , nice sound dude!!!

[Edgarbopp]

This thing is fantastic. If I could have one mini chopper from a you tube video this would be it. Way better than the one I made, and I like mine a lot! =) GREAT JOB!

[manevals]

man this is awesome

[bigrobnz]

I must admit-- cool as, you"ll get about 80 mpg as well with that set up!! Wat"s the address of the company where you got the transmission gear from?? Cheers Rob.

[gotswaggerification]

ha slug bug on all you bitches

[944joey]

May be used in a huge generator or a small roller compactor. Some industrial zero turn mowers use them too. I special ordered a comet industrial variable speed clutch / jack shaft assembly. I don't remember what model but it came out of a catalog at my buddies machine shop.

[xoxoXoieoxox]

@944joey not excactaly a MINI chopper but ausome =3-

[kaldiver]

I see lots of vtwin vert shaft motors for sale but what does a horizontal shaft motor typically come in? so I can find a donor for my scale 32 project. Also, what type of clutch or tranny do you use? thanks!

[sirtom68]

Good sounding mother fucker thats a fact !

[acidangelster]

AWESOME FUCKIN SOUND!.......i LOVE PEOPLE LIKE U.

[944joey]

@acidangelster Thanks. I am going to build a Cafe bike this winter. I build one last year but sold it. I have a 73' Honda CB360 all torn up now.

[j65bj]

Where did you get the back rim and tire from?

[944joey]

@j65bj It is a 10" custom Golf Cart rim and tire. 205x55/10 Goodyear Double Eagle DOT tire. You can get them in many styles and up to 14" now.

[dr400z]

Sweet ! I started building one about a month ago, I cheated I got a rigid rolling chassis kit from west coast mini choppers. They did a really nice job on it, I was going to use a 16hp briggs motor, but after looking yours over I'm leaning more to the 18. What make model is your 18 hp

[944joey]

@dr400z It's a Honda. I got it at a local Tool/Supply shop. retail is around $1,000.

[goblue21450]

Im looking into building one myself to use on campus rather than my Gas hog truck. What can I expect cost wise minus the engine? (Id be using a Kohler Command 25hp engine)

[944joey]

@goblue21450 Depending on materials and parts.... Anywhere from a couple hundred to a grand if you use trick billet parts etc.. plus the clutch setup.

[thudable]

Love it! Well done!

[gnativerson]

I'd like to have one with less rake to give it more low speed stability - RU taking orders? (I'm in WV)

[944joey]

@gnativerson I can biuld one like that. I just do it as a hobby now. I have done a few w/ 6.5 hp tecumseh engines that are more of a bobber. Plenty fun and fast. Also Cheaper.

[behrendsfarm]

Awesome!

[944joey]

I used a mech. drum front wheel. I would recommend using a hyd. disc setup. I sold the bike years ago. I may build another one day to sell.

[kstoff2218]

Great build. Im in the middle of one now and cant figure out what brake set up to go with. Did you put hydraulic or mechanical brakes on yours? if possible cause you put up another video showing your brake set up?

[cfazekas0441]

piss the nabors off

[cfazekas0441]

butiful bike

[944joey]

I made it! I just cut and welded up pieces of a Chrome pipe.

[chevy2259]

where did u get the air intake at ?

[rogergermine]

good job buddy !!!!

[NASTYTHEBOY]

600 CCs is NOT MINI! that is in fact HUGE!!!! :O cool anyway =]

[Hogasofa]

if you got lights and got it registered could it be street legal?

[944joey]

@Hogasofa Yes. In fact the guy I built it for got it licensed. Can be a lot of paperwork and red tape but it can be done.

[Imreadingthisaloud]

614cc? and 18hp? thats awful....whats the stroke on the cylinder? it best be HUGE!

[944joey]

@Imreadingthisaloud Ya, It's just a Honda like those used in Garden Tractors and light equipment etc... i got a pretty good deal on it and it worked quite well for the application. If it were a larger or full size bike I would have used something different. I think any faster 50 on this thing is nuts, but it will go much faster than that as is.

[Bamchucknorris]

@Imreadingthisaloud yea its got massive torque

[yk500]

@Imreadingthisaloud its a lawnmower engine u fuck tard if im not mistaken a briggs or a kohler maybe

[Imreadingthisaloud]

@yk500 how do u get to the conclusion im a fuck tard? i only asked about the engine details, dont really care what make it is. I only asked the question you ignorant shit

[lionelvillahermosa]

***excellent***

[2URBO2]

Thats very nice man!

[aliyassine1]

wow .. i like this ..

[brandonj571]

i like your video and your mini chopper! i whould like to make i offer of paying you to build a bike just like the one on this video my e-mail brandonj571@yahoo.com please e-mail i REALLY would like one like that! willing to pay $1000-1500 if you do! thanks

[foxxentertainmentvid]

@brandonj571 dude you can get a briggs and stratton 20hp v twin for $600

[944joey]

@brandonj571 As some stated, the engine retails for about $1200. I can build the bike with no motor for around $700. I sold this one for over $2k.

[944joey]

@brandonj571 I think you called me? I lost the message. call me again and I'll call ya back.I could build another. I would need a down pmt for the engine.

[4x4E150]

Ok I just saw this for the first time tonight. Not bad but first things first: back out the idle screw and lower that lump down! #2 check out my mini bike build. #3 I don't care what kind of gearing you have, your bike will not do 130 mph. My bike has a 25hp Kohler V-twin and on paper it will do 100+ mph but realistically will not due to drive train loss. I've been up to 50 or so and it begs for more but around 4000 rpm these lawnmower engines lose torque like crazy. Cool build tho!

[jmoney321123]

sounds like a real harley but wont hit 100

[Edgarbopp]

nice bike man! check mine out on my page if you have time. =)

[unclesonnyonutube]

614cc....you could just get a honda shadow and rake it.

[blacklockg]

how do you figure it will do 130mph ? what cc is the engine ?

[blacklockg]

how do you figure it will do 130mph ? what cc is the engine ?

[barneyownage]

that looks like a panhead :D

[Nza420]

what's the top speed? I have a horizontal twin just beggin' to be used for something like this!

[anthacdc]

That has a sweet as sound, good work!

[akumabito2008]

What engine did you use? I thought Briggs and the like only did vertical shaft v-twins? Did you just tilt one of those on its side? Very cool project! :D

[sideshow45]

no he probably used a kohler horizontal

[AirboatMan01]

I'm planning on building a mini chopper like yours with a 18 horsepower Briggs and Stratton. I want it to be able to go at least 60 mph. Did u use any kind of multi gear transmission? What's the gear ratio to get the speed u have?

[sideshow45]

this thing is awesome that is definately a head turner!! go to sturgis with it they will love it!!

[gpommer]

very cool..congrats dude
