Instant Wheelies ~ 1970 Bird Mini Bike Ep2

[@armandosierra731]

I love you so much right now man I was trying to break my head in a billion pieces trying to figure out a suspension for this mini bike that just makes so much sense

[@steveblottenberger1097]

Keep up the good work love mini bikes I took a Tomos moped 2 speed and made it run 72 miles an hour long time ago

[@bryduhbikeguy]

That new modular home next to the shop is kewl.Glad it's moving along quicker that the 4x4.

[@scottjoy2094]

This is one Sick Bike and looks fun to ride !

[@theunseen8054]

aWeSoMe video guys!! I'm so happy to see the intro back too! Thanks for the continuously great content. God Bless you all!

[@davidmcfarlin9132]

Okay on the race!

[@hankburton2043]

You could use the press in the back of the shop to dimple die the thicker steel mate

[@trevinskiking2165]

Hank...Too clever !: cheers Trev NZ

[@dennymedia]

Good job bro

[@meco72104]

Y'all need a pole barn to park everything under.

[@nickkelless]

Make a wheelie bar that would look nice haha

[@mccathernfamilyprojectsandadv.]

Looks like fun

[@brandonfloyd6321]

I see you switched to a Milwaukee porta band on your bandsaw stand. I built one after seeing yours with a harbor freight porta and after probably 10 uses the rubber on the drive drums crumbled off. Lol

[@63BelairRacecar]

I miss my EL Tigre chrome minibike. rana flathead on it was great with the kids.

[@kartguy]

What a BEAST! Can't wait to see Gravy the way it was meant to be that frame is sick!!!! I got a killer YERF DOG, Yerf Dog nation! I'd take the invite bud I have the time and money retired from the military nothing to do, but build karts and watch your guys videos lol

[@trevinskiking2165]

Kart Guy...many thanks for your service, we the USA coast guard down here for Operation Deep Freeze in Antarctica.Cheers Trev NZ

[@kartguy]

@@trevinskiking2165 Wow buddy thats cold I was in hot places haha Same to you buddy thanks for serving this country!

[@trevinskiking2165]

@@kartguy The BEST coffee on board ! Cheers again T

[@bgibbs699]

Man I gotta say I admire how you prayed 🙏before the race at the 500. I seen that on taranis. I need to be a better Christian. Awesome video by the way man.

[@trevinskiking2165]

You can be Christian spirited & not be religious....Trev NZ 1 gives licence for doing whatever you like as a means to an end." Jump in the river and get your fill, cause God's gonna buy you a coup Deville"

[@chrishickerson2823]

If you use a step bit, to widen the 3/4" holes the metal ring from the knock out set will come off the dies a lot easier.

[@mrhippie86]

Looks fun

[@joshwillingham1300]

Need to build a mini trophy kart that would be a cool build.

[@NotMeeither]

First they make a nice looking chrome powder coat . Second yall need to make a new set of tripletrees for that , the ones you have on it are WAY to wide ! If you make a set so that the forks end up just wide enough for the tire , not only will it look 5000 percent better but it will improve the turn radius and make it easier to mount a front fender !

[@davidowen888]

So it's Mini Bike Tuesday now 😅, I was lookin Monday

[@dennisdavis6799]

Don't forget to make them handlebars 👍

[@thegrindbywilliamsaxon]

Hey red beard i started a new channel today because i would like to show how i like to do things to builds i am going to start doing thank you man

[@mr.presidentfpv1159]

Get some of that chrome paint u can buy now and it is legit chrome finish .. u can find it on KZbin look up “chrome painted with brush , amazing finish “ and then once u see it check in thier description for the product .. it is some next lever stuff it’s kinda mind blowing !!

[@bgibbs699]

Aye I love ypur old for. Mine is a 76

[@morgankovarik3649]

You can get a chrome powdercoat. Or electroless nickel.

[@ALMIGHTYGARAGE]

I just picked up on of these and a bird nighthawk 50$ lol amazing deal steal nighthawk is complete and runs regular bird is just frame and forks

[@sbluke5515]

You could toss those dies into the press you have in the background and get a little more pressure on it.

[@bgibbs699]

I'm missing a front fender for my son's ct200. It was being thrown away and I have gotten it back to running. I'm in love with those cannister gas tanks. I wonder how hard it would be to install a disk break on a ct200 🤔

[@lucassarchet6712]

I have 3 different vintage mini bikes with 1 inch bars. You can get really nice grips and throttles for them everywhere. Most bikes like Harleys have one inch bars. Most have aluminum barrels instead of the crap plastic ones.

[@ActionJackson2360]

Milwaukee makes a nice knockout set. It's way easier to handle then the hydraulic. Big down fall is the price.

[@trevinskiking2165]

Mark...their called chassis punch's in electronics manufacturing for another use for tube sockets but it's made by a tool & die maker & your basically limited to 1/16" of an inch mild steel,thicker if alloy & turned with an Allen key,also great for making crankshaft main brging spacer shims but that's a trade secret.Trev NZ

[@ActionJackson2360]

I'm an electrician. It's a knockout set. The one he is using in this video looks to be the harbor freight model hydraulic knockout. Lookup conduit knockout and see what you find.

[@Jalen_Knight8526]

This bike kind of reminds me of a GoPowerSports Little Rascal mini bike.

[@MrTuttman]

That thing looks fun, I bet it is fast. Any idea when you will get the FL250 going?

[@jeffalessi]

Stretch the back half of the frame at least a foot, that will really help the wheelie issue and you can keep the sprocket ratio!

[@marshin5105]

Mr RBG do you know what two feller gages I should use on the Colman 196cc valves

[@trevinskiking2165]

Margin - .004" thou inlet .008 Exhaust give or take...you don't want to run your exhaust too tight.Hope this helps & no vested interest.Goodluck.Trev NZ

[@johnmizell1842]

Increase the wheelbase with a swing arm and a mono shock.

[@trevinskiking2165]

John...Yes but up goes the price

[@gamingwithcarlduke6488]

I got my own mini bike now can you do a tips video on it

[@RedBeardsGarage]

What tips ya need?

[@gamingwithcarlduke6488]

Just basic stuff like how fast they can go and and different types of mini bikes and so basically film a vid on showing all your mini bikes and telling us about them

[@shdwwzrd69]

Raise hell and praise Dale

[@davessparetime83]

do the dimple dies in the Hydraulic Press

[@PaulHarkey44]

Haven’t I seen a Yamaha BW in the background of a few of these videos? If so, could that engine be mounted to that frame? Would be a lot more comfortable of a ride…

[@discipleoftheword1785]

Red Beard is so prayed up. How prayed up is he. When he’s about to drill three holes he makes the picture of where my savior was crucified. Calvary!

[@RedBeardsGarage]

😂🙏

[@juliankiessling3833]

What bearings did you use to match the rim with that fork set up?

[@markmckeachnie4484]

Your like me I have a magnifying glass in my shop lol 🤫 maybe you need one in with your Jets and brass fittings .

[@RedBeardsGarage]

I probably should!

[@sef53591]

I see you've been running these 670 predator have you been having any problems with them over the years and if so may I ask what the problems were I was told after 200 hours the valves were shot needed to be redone anxiously awaiting your reply

[@danthemowermedic4444]

Better have a waiver set up for whoever wins that bike. I build up some minis around me and with some going 60+ I had one drawn up. Gotta cover your buttocks lol

[@kartnerds]

Me at 2:30min in... Yeah gonna learn some dimple die tricks. Me at 10min in I'll just gusset stuff with more tube than a Ducati.

[@danielholland1928]

Asheville metal finishing Asheville NC

[@tonyestvik7969]

Chrome powder coating!

[@davidkuhn3058]

Chrome it !!!! Pleeeease

[@laxplayer99]

Eltroplating isn't difficult. You could chrome it yourself.

[@thunderj176]

Ive thought about electro plating my driver pulley clutch face just to prevent rusting

[@Richkandoo]

Yeah, that one is a bit peppy. Liking the taller wheels.

[@Angel-xq6px]

Could you tell us what the gravy bones is again?

[@chopshopminibikes170]

Hell yea the bird is killer. Just got done with one a little later model but we put a 79cc and it runs great.

[@troynewton5747]

Just put wheelie bars on it and it be fine

[@Ken19700]

Need an electric powered hydraulic pump for the dimple die

[@bradmaas6875]

Too much power? Time to turn in your man card.

[@transformationproject3583]

I have a Bird mfg kart frame. Pretty cool, dont have the original dragster front tires. Way too low steering for us fat boys. I might build it and give it to my niece.

[@ilkoderez601]

Where do you get those excitebike mini bike shirts again?

[@RedBeardsGarage]

GoPowerSports.com

[@Wilson_Racing]

I don't see a link to the brake kit. It would be handy for my CC100X

[@bikescarsandmore6156]

Kinda late. But what videos is it where they jumped ur driveway in the Colman n wrecked?

[@r.j.7898]

what in the hoarder is goin on in that orange Ford? ;) nice build though

[@RedBeardsGarage]

My daughter's winter clothes that needs to go to storage lol.

[@davessparetime83]

Put flip up pegs at the end of that bar

[@williammillard96]

Are you still working on the diesel duece?????????

[@chadl5532]

build a wheelie bar for it

[@joshblair9638]

It's easier to just use the dies on a regular press

[@joshblair9638]

Don't buy the foot pedal just use the press behind you guys then you don't have to fight the threaded rod

[@etardadventures9030]

Just holla when you need some wheelies !!! Bike looks nasty

[@bears893]

Can anyone help me out here, I just installed stage 2 kit, carb, valve springs,air filter and exhaust. starts right up on first pull but won't hold idle and after I pull throttle and release it shakes violently until rpms fall back down. Definitely a lot snappier then with stock parts buuuuuutt... No smoke no weird smells no nothing. Coleman 200 obm parts...

[@bears893]

Valve intake set to 5 T and exhaust set to 7 T

[@chrisczech88]

Wheelie bar

[@2wheelLove]

change out the throttle tube with one that is less aggressive. Im sure you've used those in the past.

[@HappyHands.]

what size are the wheels

[@TheVonhollan]

lol drag racer wheelie bars

[@dttach3d]

17:13 you looking to sell that rx7?

[@johnnymerritt5969]

Fiy brother

[@thunderj176]

Wheelie bar would solve your probs

[@hondamanatc4life983]

Just fabricate a wheelie bar for it

[@stevenbonnesen5988]

Question... Have y'all ever built a step-thru mini bike or considered building something along the lines of a Cushman scooter they built a step-thru and a motorcycle type...and if you are going to continue building mini bikes why not build one that's street legal then get it inspected and tag it... there was some available in the 60's that were street legal...

[@skylarkovack2561]

I see the old Ford pickup truck has turned into a storage container / trash can 🤦‍♂️

[@ricosroughnecks8175]

How much for the rx7

[@barryiwashita6352]

Extend the rear axle out

[@raymiller7307]

Or maybe I pay you to make it live again I don't know just a thought.

[@tophernuttle420]

Why not just lay out over the front end and pour the cans to er? Some tall apehangers pushed out maybe 20% would put the bulk of Your weight mid frame with the motor... Not sayin it would be pretty but You'd have Your 0-30 in 1.13 seconds without flipping over...js

[@trevinskiking2165]

Topher....what your talking of is called " Body English" - old MX & trials bike term.Cheers Trev NZ

[@CreepyMonkeyHeadGame]

How hard is it to street legalize a Baja 196 Mini bike

[@trevinskiking2165]

Monkey...Wish you luck getting a reply...Trev NZ

[@raymiller7307]

I might have a bike you would like maybe a trade or you might just want to buy it. it's a old handa monkey I'd love to see you guys do something with it cause sadly I'll probably never get to.

[@liamirelander4221]

Them tiny frames are not great to work with you should look for rollers with titles and build street legal bikes minibike everything but frame wheels from motorcycle mini bikes are for tiny people lol
