Awesome build and solid content. That was fantastic.

Thanks! much appreciated.

[@scottfarraway34]

1962 was a very good year! I was one of those very fortunate kids in the late 60's early 70's was given a mini bike by my dad. I was the only kid on the street who had one. Used to ride it up the back alleys behind my house. Many good memories. It was a Keystone Mini bike and I think my parents bought it from Sears. I think I bugged my parents for a couple of years before I got it. Thanks for the memories!

[@kylesyx8432]

Great video , that is good information to know. I would have loved to start out w one. The only issue I see with it is, the 98 cc ( great engine) but doesn’t have a lot of aftermarket parts/mods to pick thru! After shaving port/polish the head, jetting carb,header pipe and advanced the timing. Feels like I’ve doubled the power and sounds great. I believe it ran 34mph w 12t frt and 75t back ! Happy Trails 👍

[@Black66]

They do have a slide carb kit and a cam. I used some of these parts already on the micro bike build. Got the bike right at 50 MPH, Check it out! The links for the cam and parts are in the description of the videos on the micro bike playlist.

They sell a clearcoat. I think it’s called times two you’ll know it’s the right can because it Hass to have a button on the bottom of the can when you pop that button it releases the Hardner that’s the best that stuff is car clear it is by far the best. Regular clear always stay soft.
