Custom Mini Bike Swing Arm ~ 301cc Coleman CT200U-EX

[@traedrose7963]

Wish this was a production piece you sold! Nice work, as always.

[@theunseen8054]

Man, you're fabrication skills have come a long way since 2017!! You rock, Boss man!

[@eddieharper8665]

Red Beard, You seem to have to explain more to your help than us. You have always explained everything perfectly. He just doesn't seem to comprehend. He should just let you deliver the video. Watch and learn. Silence is golden.

[@drewtooker4243]

Could we see a coleman mini chopper with a stretched front end please?

[@joshoconnor9666]

I'm working on it

[@megoingfast]

Happy birthday Braxton!

[@megoingfast]

That table is amazeballs.

[@delmas15]

I am a big fella, 6-3 286lbs. So glad to see how to make a swing arm like this.

[@Tampaboys]

I like how you use that double flat bar pieces then boxed it all in that thing is never going to break.

[@ervingoertzen7233]

Been waiting for someone to fab a swingarm setup on these hardtail minibikes. To hard riding it on bumpy trails , thanks RB !

[@prestongriffin416]

that has to be one of the best I have seen in a long time thank you all

[@ervingoertzen7233]

Wow !, that is awesome fabricating on that swingarm ! Truly impressive !

[@seansysig]

Happy Birthday Braxton.

[@xaviersadventuresandfun3545]

My son and I are planning a 459cc on dirt bug frame. This swing arm idea really helped man! Love it! Thank you

[@randallbaker9055]

Awesome swing arm. Happy birthday Braxton

[@davidrussell7469]

Well-executed tasks

Happy birthday Braxton 🎁

[@bajahank1]

Happy birthday Braxton.

[@bigedd91]

Haynow im building a minni bike with full suspension right now so.... A big T.Y. for the awesome how to videos. Keep them coming.

[@scottdoubleyou563]

Happy Birthday Braxton!!!

[@abrahampeshko1858]

Thanks for the video RBG and god bless you RBG

[@frankgeimer5952]

That swing arm looks great! It should take anything you throw at it,

[@ghomerhust]

it will handle AlL tHe ToRqUeS

[@1979augistine]

Happy birthday there princess 👸

[@artjohnson2777]

i dig the dancing arms on hold down clamp at 11:47

[@SportbikerNZ]

What's dancing arms mean?

[@nicksteele1706]

Heck yeah happy birthday Braxton hope you had a great birthday and stay safe on the roads and remember don't text and drive wear your seat belt and always pay attention to the road love you guys

[@Nitewatch-xc9yz]

[@MonkeyMikeOutdoors]

Happy Birthday Braxton!

[@brianramsey7048]

Happy Birthday Braxton

[@stropcity1666]

Great vid... always learning from you all...

[@lizzard7473]

Happy birthday!

[@charleshank8573]

Looks great got to remind me of a mini bike bobber......✌️😎

[@danieldelarosa8806]

Haven't even started seeing the video already thumbs up. I have the same bike and wish it had rear suspension

[@netxphotography]

I can vouch for how quiet the Mr Cool A/Cs are. I have one in my living room and the only way I can barely hear the fan is in Turbo mode. Other than that, they're silent and work great. Good choice on the A/C units Red Beard. That mini bike is gonna rip. I'm anxious to see it running with Lonnie or Braxton riding it. Keep up the great work.

[@Tampaboys]

Great work buddy this is going to be one mean mini bike

[@megoingfast]

It's going to be a nice mini bike, not a mean one. You see how nice he's treating it?

[@Tampaboys]

me going fast haha good point buddy

[@effyoo6081]

I got a bobber seat off of ebay for my ct200ex. it fits perfectly with the springs between the seat bracket and gives me cushion. it looks amazing, brown leather inlaid skull, and cost $50. the EX seats are way low and it gives a bit of seat behind you keeping you from sliding back.

[@LuchMobGarage]

🤘🏻🐿🤘🏻 happy belated birthday Braxton Dood

[@alexbowen7306]

that looks awesome!

[@ervingoertzen7233]

Glad it’s you doing this , enjoying your videos as always !

[@lizzard7473]

That's gonna be a cool bike

[@426superbee4]

You made a sweet swing arm

[@RedBeardsGarage]

Thanks! 💯

[@kellyjung283]

Happy 16th Birthday Braxton

[@Amorsdad]

Real cool can’t wait to see the outcome God bless brother🤙🏽

[@MAD450r2]

Happy birthday braxton. ( hope i spelled that correctly) My birthday is 1 week from today the 14th. My bdsy is the 21st. Ill be 49 next week. Keep up the great videos guys.

[@christopherbozeman6333]

Man, I wish we had a motorcycle junk yard nearby. These videos make me want to buy a whole bunch of new stuff but if I'm going to engineer and build this type of stuff i won't be able to afford the new stuff. How about I just come work for you Red Beard

[@MrCaleb1414]

Happy birthday swole body

[@inderveersingh6232]

You should do a build on a Massimo mb200. No one has unboxed it and modified the stock motor.

[@ilovecheesecake516]

we need episode 2!

[@rodswim492]

Not hating! I love you guys.

[@Levi_Allen]

I would really love to know more about that Jack shaft setup at 6:08! It looks like you've got a housing for the bearings that gets welded to the swing arm, and then two brackets to weld to the bike. I'm lost trying to follow your links below where you locate the housing for the bearings. Any help is greatly appreciate!

[@austin6746]

Did you figure that out?

[@k-sell4065]

You guys do an awesome job with your builds. I watch them all. I'm currently building a trailer for my baha. I have a predator 212 with a go power sports torque converter. It's all basic right now. I'm saving so I can get more parts for an engine upgrade

[@xaviersadventuresandfun3545]

If you could make a video doing a 459 on a mini bike that would be awesome!

[@dirtfootracing8788]

You giving me ideas ....great build

[@richardbrior6086]

all ways like your builds

[@richardmattix5322]

You need to take it all the way to the jack shaft for it to work right.

[@kmagrinat]

Hi rbg love you and your team you make the best vids

[@jimmace6148]

I personally would have clearanced the right side of the frame to clear the chain than offset the swing arm. It's just weird that a machine you balance on would be built out of balance.

[@contraband1543]

Plenty of bikes are built offset. It seems counterintuitive but it's fine

[@christophermorin9036]

Good morning Red.

[@stevenpleasant5834]

nice build on the swing arm were is the video when you build the swing arm and change it on to the center of jack shaft were you put it on the two outer pillow block bearings thanks.

[@midnightrun-ns7pt]

After getting your lathe up and running need a mill press next, if you used end mills to cut your bolt holes with been done faster and true straight.

[@THECHOSENONE-bk7xg]

Love this idea. However i did see one same bike but they used 2 inch i believe square tube for rear arm. either way, what a spine saver!

[@joaomoreiradasilva6436]

GOSTO MUITO DO SEUS PROJETOS SHOW DE BOLA

[@richlucasjr9116]

What's going on with the private videos? And are you going to put out any videos on the Gsx-R 600 ? Very much interested if you are. Keep up the good work 👌

[@richlucasjr9116]

Oh,,,, sorry,,, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Braxton...... Make sure to notify next to kin and freinds to stay off the sidewalks when you get your license my friend...... LOL Be safe

[@JayFeb-xc5ex]

If u were to build this for someone about what would u charge them for the swing arm stretch, the mono shock and the customization of it all , wat would you charge for the complete bike asking for a friend please and thank you 🙏

[@kramerklan7748]

love your vids keep it up

[@240sxking5]

I live in canada and just turned 16. The registries are 6 MONTHS BEHIND.... I think the kid should ease up hahaha

[@howardfreedman4289]

Nice swingarm. I'm planning to build my own mini-bike with front and rear suspension. Why do many mini-bikes use a jack shaft. Can the sprocket not be mounted on left and chain directly to the engine sprocket, then put the brake on the right side. I must be missing something here. What kit did you use for the front forks/uspension? Thanks so much.

[@mikec8011]

SWEET!!!!!

[@boost89gt]

Would love to see a rear disc brake conversion on a ct200u-ex, i have a built 212 and stock gearing that goes 50+mph, brakes kinda suck lol

[@Deucealive75]

I'd like to see a front disc addition on a Coleman 200.

[@Jakaan1000]

Hey Red Beard how much will cost for you to make me one of them swing arms and ship it to me???

[@neonbangs1579]

He could make a killing selling those, i would be in line to stretch my sons just like his for a bigger motor.

[@DmenDuroRider]

I would buy it

[@christophershilling3510]

I would definitely buy this.

[@jonnygun5055]

Same

[@Ohiocountryboy-se2cn]

I think its about time for a plasma cutter.

[@MichaelRoachWV]

Do you not get UV burns from welding? I never see any sleeves on you, I'd be bright red in pain for a couple days lol

[@alexconnerconner8130]

Builder on a budget... What kind of engine you think I should go with on a 4fun 4 seater go kart dont need crazy speed but at least do close to 40 would be good enough for me

[@mikesbarn1858]

All the time you had there and you couldn’t was the mud off the back tire?

[@sj1122334455]

My plan is to turn some cheapo billet Civic control arms I found into swingarms, it'd look pretty cool and be easily replaceable

[@dylanpeeples6160]

That’s sick but you know that new dirt bikes still have box swing arms

[@vk2aafhamradio]

Very nice work. Did you consider using the jackshaft as the swingarm pivot axle? It looks plenty strong for the task & would have kept chain tension constant through the travel arc.

[@loicbrabant6032]

Love you

[@skizzbomb361]

Hey Red Beard, where can I get that bushing? Is that a bushing that you put bearings in?

[@twinkleberry1317]

I’m in school watching this

[@megoingfast]

A proper education 😉

[@tyrelarnett583]

Any idea where i could get some front forks and suspension? Everywhere i look they are out of stock.

[@mikekuiros4941]

Do you have a suggestion on changing the brake system on a coleman CT200u ex? it has a drum brak system and it doesn't work very well

[@michaelosullivan4112]

Imagine that if you would put 450cc motor into mini bikes frame with wider rear wheels and dirt bike front wheels of 250 or 450 dirt bikes be looking insane fun to build

[@JayFeb-xc5ex]

Wat type of swingarm did you use for this plz and ty

[@FangOfTruth]

Check out Mustie1’s videos on the suitcase moped for the chain drive setup. The jack shaft arm was unique.

[@KayKay-mf4pq]

I have this same model I've been customizing exhaust painting want to do a lot of other stuff to it too torque converter bigger valves it'll be a dream come true to have you guys do this to mine

[@meco72104]

The dual shocks should help sturdy the bike from side to side movement.

[@alejandroortiz5479]

How much to stretch mine i have the same one or do you sell kits for it

[@GBsPitstop]

Help? Got a Coleman mini bike that will not idle. Can get it started with choke and then go but it will not idle. What can I do? Got a Coleman 2 seater that did same thing but finally it just fixed itself. It’s not smooth but will run. Have cleaned carb on mini bike multiple times. Is it a jet change needed? Any ideas? I don’t see how to adjust idle.

[@cutthroatkid.d]

Happy born date Braxton

[@jurriendw050]

I should put a little bit of oil coating in that rear swing arm bc its gonna rust from the inside

[@mattmead5730]

I've seen you use your band saw many times; a portable Harbor Freight converted to stationary. Have you shown details on it, or is their info elsewhere? Pretty cool setup I'd like to imitate.

[@bobbyblank6916]

What size pipe/tubing did you construct the swing arm pivot jackshaft from? I used 1.25" sch 40 pipe for 1 3/8" OD bearings, but it isnt a 100% fit and the bearing wobbles a tad. I drilled holes for a couple set screws, but I'd rather just use the right tubing/pipe. Thanks!

[@RedBeardsGarage]

This was dom tubing but I would have to check what size it was.

[@bobbyblank6916]

Thanks for responding! I'm fairly new to this, so I'm not super familiar with the ins and outs of everything. If it isn't too much trouble and you don't mind - I'll greatly appreciate any specs you provide. Keep up the great work, man!

[@Whiskydickwonder]

Did you ever dyno the 301?

[@crybabylocr4012]

I wanna buy one you guys built what should it coast

[@yettidoggzumii1581]

Niiiiiiiiiice..!!! 😁👀😎🏁

[@kubasaki1978]

Why didnt you bend both pieces of flat stock together at the same time???

[@NoReason2Liv]

Whatever happened to the Coleman BT200X? Wasn't that suppose to replace the CT200 series?
