Fat tire minibike

So as some of you might know I have been building a FTM for the past month off and on so i thought I should start a thread on it so here we go.

so i had some old 18in mower tires and wanted to do something with them so I went and designed my frame on sketchup.



now its

Pretty cool! I was doing to do the same with my GX200, but then I picked up this new mower lol

its done and then broke and then fixed and then broke

Wrench, wheel, wreck, repeat. Don't lose heart, it's just part of the process.

Looks great Moto, hope to see a better running of it soon.   

it was fixed then broke again then pushed to the back of the shed then broaght out and fixed again but this time for good (crossing my fingers)

Looks a lot more solid now! Nice job. Now let's see er rip

thanks i also want to see her rip

looks good moto

bring it on over here, I'll test it out for ya! lol

in all seriousness, I'm thinkin there's a LOT of torque on that gooseneck... May need to make it longer, and support it on the bottom. Even a Bike has about 5 inches of neck

i think it is pretty solid but i see what you are saying i might reinforce the front of it

I hope yall dont kill me (gasp) I took the torque converter off of the bike. I am putting a centrifugal clutch on it that I had ordered a while back and didn't have a use for ; I know what you are saying why not keep the torque converter on the mini bike? I am not because it is going on the build off.

Got some of it painted today need a master link for the chain and it will be ready to rip. 

it looks good! i cant tell you how many bikes and tractor parts ive drawn in geometry
