Wish we could get those mini bikes in New Zealand. Good job!

[@turbolaser24]

Thanks!

[@trevinskiking2165]

Eastsliders...We do we get SOME of. those cheaper tube framed bikes from China....hunt around ,their on or were on the horrible site TradeMe auctions or Trutest used to make whole bikes or parts you could buy out of Auckland - even got a Road named after them ''Trutest Lane' I think it's called ,back in the 1970's...so they. Are out there just both these models but if your Hearts set on a USA job give a colleague a ring in California, he'll give you a good price to export one to NZ for you...his trading name is Kiwi Connections in Gardena, tell him Trev from the Electronics Store sent you 🤗 I'd build you one if your serious but can't right now,..getting over a massive Stroke that nearly killed me & most of my tools,Plant & equipment got robbed $250k once word got around, damb low-lifes.Goodluck Trev Wgtn New Zealand 😎

@@trevinskiking2165 I have a polytech frame if you know the one, but modded it up.....the biggest thing I wish we had access to is the go fast parts more than anything.......been trying to help the scene along with Mini Bikes Nz on Facebook and have made good friends through Mini Bikes Wellington also.....I'm sorry to hear about your health brother, wishing you a speedy and full recovery! If you are on Facebook please look up my mini bike page I'd love to get in contact

That is a sick looking bike bro love the stretch job, I’m 6 feet tall and that’s something I’ve always wanted to do on a mini bike. I have a 5 horse Honda that would work very well on it, not looking to race it just have fun with it. Thanks for the video and ride safe.

[@turbolaser24]

Thank you I appreciate the kind words! That is what I like to do is just have fun, no need for super fast speeds.

Hi, what is the table you are working on called?

[@carlchuppa4130]

Love the pride and care you take with your build! So many people are in a rush but it shows yours is done with great care and time! Was wondering what length your extension tubes are and did you plug weld them also?

[@turbolaser24]

Thank you I appreciate it alot. The extension was 6" and yes I plugged welded them as well.

[@conradgieblewicz8220]

Nice fab. Work. And great video. My only issue is why didn't you paint the bare metal.?? I would have at least grab a rattle can of grey primer and primed the bare metal surfaces so they don't rust.

[@turbolaser24]

Thanks, its my friends frame and he got it powdercoated
