Looks great, Bubba 👍 !! Notice the top tier work he does on all his projects,and the forethought he puts into each one?!?! The only thing my 59 year old butt would do differently is spring loaded the seat,pegs mounted a few inches more forwards,foot brake pedaled the rear, add a disc and caliper up front controlled by the handlebar mounted master cylinder lever...and maybe a low wattage headlight,or not.. 😉 😆

Yeah boy, I love me some dirt skids. You can tell by my profile pic that dirt bikes are my life. All shapes and sizes of them. You could build a one-wheel trailer for it too, with another big tire.
The outcome is impressive👍

Brilliantly done Donn, be mindful that most small engine fuel caps are rubbish and leak fuel on most occasions

I especially searched for an engine that has a proper tight fuel cap and it seems to be leak proof at the moment. I do not know what the future holds though.😛

I have a coleman ct200u. It needs a light. Yours needs lights. I think you can get a different flywheel that can provide power. Let's see you make that upgrade. Your bike would be awesome with a big round light up front.
AC⚡️DC Weooooo! 🤙🏻
такой классный ))👍
Dude, that thing came out SWEET!!! It's so awesome, one of my favorite builds of yours! I feel like you could make kits and sell them, I bet you'd sell a LOT! It would be cool to maybe make another one that is electric, would be amazing to have it be stealthy... I'm looking forward to seeing what color you paint it. I feel like some kind of flat color would be best, I'm sure you'll keep us posted on Insta. Awesome job pal!

Only thing id recommend is getting you a fuel filler neck and offsetting it on tank. It will solve the issue of the original cap being directly under the backbone, and those caps are notorious for leaking. Nice build though.
@DonnDIY

No worries, I personally don't mind the fuel cap under the backbone. There's enough room to fill the tank with a nozzle. 👍 And the cap doesn't leak... yet.🤣

@@DonnDIY famous last words "yet". Lol. Makes me want to finish building my tube bender and buy some bigger dies for it. Currently only have the 1" dies for it. Would like to do 1.5" imperial tube, that way I can have thinner walls for lighter weight and maintain the same strength or stronger, going with heavier wall 1". At least that's what I gathered from research. Could be wrong and I'm no engineer.
Bravo great work. However, it would be better to mount cleats articulated motorcycle feet so as not to damage the legs
