    The front spindle assemblies are ready to be welded on. Just need the tires to set the ride height first.

    Any favorite websites that you source your parts from? I'm just getting ideas together for a minibike project or two.

    I buy a lot of parts from BMI karts and modify them to work for me. They have decent prices. For the engine kits, I use NR Racing. He builds pro karting engines and is really nice to work with. Russell is his name.

    So the tires finally showed up. We had them mounted up and put the rear ones on to set the ride height level. Then I set up the front tires and tacked the spindles in place.

    Then we took it all apart and finish welded the front spindle brackets in place. My crew chief and I put it back to together again to see how it looked and sat. This is where we left off yesterday. We still have some parts to fab up for the wing in the rear, but otherwise its off to polishing and painting it.

    That thing is bad ass!!! Nice work!!!

    And another good word for BMI Karts, I bought a lot of stuff from him when I was building minibikes.
    I used to be 'with it'. Then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm 'with' isn't 'it', and what's 'it' seems weird and scary to me.......

    image.jpg I rebuilt the rear wing to have larger sides that are removable to make it easier to polish the whole thing.

    The yellow rope is to determine the length of the nitrous pressure gauge line.

    The last one went 52mph on the gps. I figure this one to be pretty close to that. I have a lot more billet stuff made on this one, so it's probably a bit heavier. Not to mention my own weight gain.
