Looking good Scnicko, got some good deals on those Braaap parts, are they genuine items ? Look foward to seeing more

 

[snicko54]

yes genuine braaap parts good quality but we all know how expensive braaap is so I jumped on the parts at those low prices so I got $600 worth of braaaop stuff for like just under $100 not bad at all

 

[snicko54]

was thinking of doing the black braaap kit with white seat a white frame but im still not sure yet or maybe some black rimz with white spokes maybe cant decide on the frame colours

im doing a 70cc atomik build at the moment for my youngest son! great prices on the braaap gear to, well done. look forward to seeing what your finished product looks like

I just won a atomic 70cc full running bike off ebay last night for $140 as it has the disc frontand rear set up and ill be using the engine but it has a 14"/12" wheel set up I was hoping to have a 12"/10" set up so 70cc with 14/12 will have to do till I get a 12/10 disc set up as I only have 10 ich drum wheels but with the usd forks I just brought I have to change to disc so I should have the 70cc bike tomoz and I can tear it down and paint and start putting it together

look's like your collection is constantly growing, a lot of people don't realise how addictive it can be !

i reckon you need to start a Photobucket account though, i can't be bothered opening up the little pics then closing them again :laughing-smiley-002

nah, good job + reps for finally starting the thread,
and for not clogging up my inbox anymore, haha

 

[snicko54]

my67xr yes u got that spot on its addictive the mrs not much of a fan of it but a mans gotto have a hobby right my 3 year old daughter helps me heaps with it all she is bike crazy lol and yes I got sick of waiting on me parts I decided to take some time to do a post finally lol things are slowly sliding into place with me builds but has all happened so quickly as in found the right parts at the right prices and parts rocking up here and there and in between doing a bit here and there great fun gives me something to do at night when everyone is asleep no one to bug me that way

 

[snicko54]

thought id sit the seat witth the plastics on to see how it looks with the usd forks what do you guys think does it look like its sitting nice and even and any input of what colour I should do my frame and swinga as im totally cant decide I need more ideas

 

[Blender]

)Red frame, red swingarm FTW

 

[gottagetacheaperhobby]

have a look at the dupli colours at supercheap, you need to buy their silver undercoat to, but you get a really nice effect from it (the motovert build is done in dupli colour blue link is in my signature) if you could replicate the gold/tan colour in the sticker kit it would tie it in nicely, or even white would work.

 

[snicko54]

was thinking of doing my engine in this colour mate of mine did his kx engine in it

just make sure you get hi temp engine paint i noticed you said you were chasing a disk 10 inch rim? i have one here with a kenda on it if your interested, takes a 15mm axle though so may not work with your swinger...

 

[snicko54]

,, yes im looking for a 10" front dics wheel atm ive got a 10 drum riged up to it and the cable is hooked up but I need to make a small wheel spacer to centre the wheel and make a longer pin to keep the centre of drum sdtable so could be fully functionable as can see in pics what it looks like I do have the right size axel for it the axel atm is bit long

 

[snicko54]

ill have the full complete atomic 70cc bike in a couple of dayz and that has 14/12 disc set up so that will give me the disc option aswell as my two bikes here im building the rear of frames are for drum only they don't have the mounting brackets for a rear disc master cyl so the atomic 70 frame may be the go and just paint it up and slap all my gear on it wouldn't look any different to what I have now

 

[gottagetacheaperhobby]

the atomik would run a mx style swinger to yeah? stronger than your a style you have now.

you can get a tube that slides inside a 15mm bearing hub, to reduce it to 12mm
Brand NEW Rear Bearing Adaptor 15 MM TO 12 MM XR50 CRF50 PIT Bike | eBay

or get some tube locally, it is 15mm o/d, 12mm i/d
so buy a length of 15mm o/d tube with a 1.5mm wall, and cut it down to suit
