    I always wanted one of those when I was a kid, I remember seeing them in the "Mini Bike Guide" magazine.

    There's my Heald Superbroncs, ones a vt-10 and the other is a vt-8. You're never to old to have fun on a minibike

    I can't build anymore cars because I ran out of room in the garage. This is a bike I just finished, it is a K&S Hornet that I did a resto-mod on.

    Yeah oldwood i actually got lucky, i waited to buy the first one for about ten years and then when i was selling my truck the guy that bought it had the other one at home so i worked that one into the deal, they're a blast to ride and i've turned down alot offers on them

    This is my little ride. It was originally a sears drover. Powder coated the frame and forks. Fabbed the tank, clutch cover, seat, exhaust and lots more. Bill Bierman at Creative Customs laid the pin striping on it. Lots of fun ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1389660969.561880.jpg ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1389660994.895524.jpg ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1389661019.795674.jpg ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1389661046.520746.jpg

    Well it looks like a shifter as it is supposed to, but it is actually an extension of the scrub brake. Thanks guys.

  22. Been messing around with this one for quite awhile. Work is slow right now so got the urge to keep busy with something. Frame is almost done. Need to finish grinding smooth all the welds, then send it off for blasting and powder coating.

  29. Hey Fellas, been doing a search on the ole' interweb. Looked at quite a few of the minibike parts websites as well as e-bay. Trying to find these lower front fork rubber boots. May be able to use something else, so totally open to suggestions.
