I agree,but I can't do it anymore for now but if you're a Jock the system is all over you like "A Sailor on your SISTER ! "...Goodonya - it's been 50 years coming for a pat on the back for me and only a Bikie gang did that 😶Trev New Zealand

Wife did rad on the intro. Glad to see you making vids again. .solid work as always bro

[@turbolaser24]

Yeah she finally was able to get to it. I think the way I did this one is how ill do the majority of them.

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.

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 😎

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.

This is dope asf I'm getting ready to do one with a 1 foot stretch on the frame. This was a inspirational video

[@16driver16]

Im about to do the same thing but only 3". Though I am considering taking 3" out of the height at the same time

[@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

[@xoff22607]

Nice work Bobby....Could you please tell me about the table you're working on? Am looking to do some of this kind of work myself. I have several frames and tons of parts just waiting to be modified. I c one stretch coming with two motors and two rear wheels...Anyhow, thanks for the awesome videos...My bad, I guess I should have followed the rest of your links, right to the Chop Source Fab Table...
