Definitely put it through its paces before you get into any sketchy stuff. I always do that with my stuff

I trully consider the safe advise coming from the safest rider out there 

I mourn for that poor minibike.  I personally like the concept of the sticky uppy hand brake, but then again I have never tryed it so  @RichieRichOverdrive is probally right.

I like the angulation on the shifter that looks good!

Thanks! Look and feel a whole lot better!

Howdie how! Gentlemen! We got brakes!
Finalized the caliper mount and brake lever, finally went for a foot one, made more sense.
I had a sportster brake pedal that i made to work with the cable pull set up.
Works like a charm and leaves me plenty of room for a gas pedal .
Here are the latest pics






Hopefully I can get to the gas pedal and wiring next week
Have a good one!

Loving that brake setup! Looks super clean!

Do you have a left front transaxle mount?

Thanks.!!, a bit high but out of the way and no way to shorten it as I can't weld aluminum.
Yeah all the transaxle mounts are there and I will reinforce both rears in the near future

Got some time today and got quite a bit done!
Gas pedal, and got lucky on the exhaust! Some stainless pipes with the right bends, well, almost .
And a triumph muffler that was there for years!
What ya'll think?






Can't wait to crank it to find out how it sounds!...

Love how this thing is turning out! The steering wheel is awfully high, do you plan on lowering it any? I keep my steering shafts pretty short on my tractors.

I know right, looks kinda goofy but feels right once seated.
Might shorten a bit but a whole lot as it is supposed to be a workhorse not a show queen, at least that was the original plan but got quite carried away .
Thanks for the kind words it keeps me going at it!
