Rear suspension rebuild! |Much more travel on the mini dirt bike|
In today's episode of Mini Metal Fab, Russ and I rebuild the rear suspension on my mini dirt bike frame! We re did the design and extended the swing arm for more travel and softer suspension. We also cut the head tube off and changed the rake angle of the fork to even the bike out and make it perform even better! Stay tuned until the end to see us rip it and send some jumps!!

With less then 24 hours of total seat time on a dirt bike, we attempt to take them to our local Mx track and send it as hard as we can! Lots of ups and downs getting used to the bikes and what it's like to ride with the "pros"! We also are testing the new Mx14 rear tire by Dunlop on the track to see how well it performs!

From "rust to ripping" $160 custom go kart build! Start-test ride
มุมมอง 898หลายเดือนก่อน
Today we picked up 2 go karts as part karts for only $160! We completely tear both of them apart to almost nothing, to get all the supplies we need to build a 1 off custom yard kart frame for our 25hp predator 212! The build starts out great and then we come across a few issues we had to overcome to make such an insane package fit into such a small frame! Weighing in at around 100lbs all said a...

We finally got the bikes in good enough condition to be able to open them up on some trails! They handle great for what they are and the type of terrain we are attempting to ride them over! Huge rock gardens, tons of hill climbs, and a jump here and there! This was an awesome ride and we highly recommend trying this atv park out if you enjoy technical terrain.

What forks
@@apenzerbtw5502 upgrade forks for a 125cc pit bike
What's the point of a rear wing if you have holes in it, it just for looks?
@@MiluxF1 exactly for looks. No go kart would ever be fast enough to actually use a rear wing. Arrow doesn't come into effect until your going around 80+ mph anything slower then that. It doesn't make a difference! Simply to make it look cool!!
Thought it was the rc car from toy story at first
@@DhampirDrake haha lol it's a full size go kart!
This is a crazy looking build, keep up the good work😮 where did you get those front forks from
@@holesgamer3063 thanks man we appreciate that. And we got them on Amazon. Their an upgraded for a 125cc pit bike but I made them work on my mini bike!
i wish i had one sick build tho u guys nailed it!!!!!!!!!
This really cool tho 💯 watching your video all the way from trinidad and tobago 🇹🇹
@@davidstevensonmcqueen7851 thanks man we appreciate that! 🤝
The way you triangulated the rear upper shock mount made it super strong. Great idea.

Is it a live axel?
@@aspireacer178 yup
Try swapping the back tires with slicks, the tires you got on look like they’re grabbing the asphalt too much. Or if you don’t want to buy tires just wrap them in duck tape. Nice build 🤙
No shocks gonna be one bumpy ass ride
Looks like the RC car from Toy Story

Why do you gotta make it look so good. You're making me jealous

Post part 2 rn, please 🙏
@@createdthisaccountcuziwasb496 soon give us another week lol we got a different vid coming tomorrow next week will be go kart again
That thing is gonna be insane! I've had this idea as well. I think watching you guys doing all this problem solving, has helped me decide that I'd rather go with an air cooled dirt bike engine tho. Can't wait to see this thing finished.
@@krisley5178 hahah yeah it definitely will be and just wait to see our next build. Also going to be insane! And a dirtbike engine is most definitely easier and air cooled is way simpler and can fit in much smaller frames! Definitely worth doing it!
That thing is gonna make some power for sure! Just curious, what state are you guys located in?
@@krisley5178 thanks man and Pa down by Philadelphia
Nice work! Those gussets were a very smart move. Gussets add crazy strength. And you can always drill holes in them to make em look better. Where you made the removable frame pieces, you could tack weld the nuts on the backside of the mounts. Then you only need to remove the bolts when removing the engine. Cuts your amount of hardware in half. Good job on the wiring, since obviously the thing starts and runs. Electrical is always the most daunting.
My CB750 frame is designed with only one side being removable. You remove the motor mounts on that side, then lay the bike over on the ground and pull the frame off of the engine. Meanwhile the other side of the frame is nice strong original tubing.
@@krisley5178 yeah that's how the ninja 500 is designed too. There just isnt room like that on a mini bike frame to make that happen. Both sides had to be removable to get the engine in and out
Fun build! All you need to to is move that rear left frame with the axle mount outward about one inch. Since you built the whole back half of the frame anyway. Then you could just get an offset sprocket for the rear tire and completely eliminate that jack shaft. That thing is never gonna be right, the way it's designed. The bearing and seal in that motor side cover are not long for this world. A clutch was never intended to be hung out eight inches on the end of the crankshaft. Way too much leverage there. That's why no set screw collar can ever be tight enough to make it work.
@@krisley5178 thats literally our plan lol. Next video we post on this we will be doing that! Stay tuned. Switching to a 1" live axle on the back with the sprocket on the outside of the frame. Also will be cutting the crank down so the clutch slides on all the way agains the side cover!
sup guys hey where are you guys from ?
@@jaybird0000000 we're from Philadelphia Pa
@@MiniMetalFab omfg I work in bucks County Morrisville and yardley area I live in Poconos lol you guys aren't far cool no wonder I like you guys from my hometown area!
@ hahaha that's awesome man we're super close to each other! If you would ever be interested we would definitely be down to shoot a riding video together sometime somewhere!
@@MiniMetalFab super cool hell ya guys that would be super cool can I post a pic of my toys
@ sweet dm us on instagram or tiktok @minimetalfab and we can try to work something out maybe even do a build together or something! We love having people on our channel show off what they built!
What kinda dirt do you ride?
@@konnorsgoulet9869 a mix between sand mud and some clay. Also rocky terrain too
@ okay do you think it would be okay for harder pack track and or medium hard dirt?
@ it's worked great so far. Insane grip on everything I've rode on. Yesterday the track was hard pack in spots and soft sand in others it was amazing. Hooked up great!
@@MiniMetalFab perfect your the only person who has actually answered that question! Bless bro
cool build. im currently building my 1988 Yamaha blaster up. that i got for free with no engine i put a Honda xl125 motor in it last year it was way too slow especially with 10 inch tires. so now I'm putting a 1988 Honda cbx250 motor in it. gonna have 6 speeds and 31hp. wish it still had kickstart though. it deserves it i bought 700 dollar works front shocks for it. lol its quite the money pit! still cheaper than getting one off marketplace though thats not a piece of junk
@@marshallkaufman3123 thanks man and sounds like a sweet build! Should be a ripper when it's done. Ride and build safe bro!
steering solution is genius but I feel like there’s gotta be a more adjustable solution somehow maybe weld half an adjustable tie rod to the steering column instead of a fixed length plate
@@joe-wr2jh thanks man appreciate it and maybe will have to give it a try!
That thing is so sick. One of the best videos watched in a bit
@@createdthisaccountcuziwasb496 thanks man appreciate it!
awesome guys you should call it Frankenstein lmao great job
A inboard 1 inch clutch would have done allot of Justice in this build but nice work man
@@Eastside-e1w I know it would have but I'm not sure that they make those for big block engines! I could be wrong but from what we found most if not all 1" bore clutches run the sprocket out board. We plan to cut the crank shaft down and do a 1" live axle on the back wheel with the sprocket on the outside of the frame so will only have 1 chain then. That will be the next part! Stay tuned. Appreciate the support and feedback.
power to weight ratio is absolutely insane.

what engine? 212cc?
@@permezmo yup
Please put a cage on that thing lol
@@trailwolfzj9762 nah it will look bad and we won't fit!
@MiniMetalFab wat u mean it'll look bad lol u can make it look however u want and fir however u want beauty of a pencil and paper then welder lol. Welp hope yal careful cuz it's only a matter of time it will flip. My cousin who is dead now use to flip em on purpose. He was a knut lol
U want me to draw u a fly cage bro u can have all the credit lol especially if u ain't paint it yet lol who cares what it. Looks like .... that helmet aint saving u. And ur broken back aint gonna care what it looks like lol. unless ur gonna sell it.. and if that is so.. guarantee someone gonna put their kid on it. I guess u could call that a full term abortion machine 😂
@ it's just such a small kart and we're so big the cage would have to be bigger then the kart itself so we personally don't think there would be a way to have one and have it look decent. But this thing has 0 tip to it. We literally can drift it on blacktop without sleeves and it still doesn't even try to flip
Coming from a guy who has a cheapo flux core welder. Whats a good welder for custom frames?
Look on Facebook marketplace for an old Lincoln or Miller welder something that's 110v and runs mig. Usually u can get them with a gas bottle and some wire too! Any of the old welder weld great. Much better than these cheep new ones do!
@MiniMetalFab thanks for the suggestion man! Have you used mig for aluminum before? Does it work
@ no problem and you need a special welder to mig weld aluminum it's not the same kind as normal mig. It's easier to rig weld it
Ill tell you from experience, those front wagon wheels do NOT work well as drive tires 😂 good you used different ones for the rear
@@Memesmith_YT we're not using either lol it's just what we had for the time being but we are getting 4 new ones that will be way better!
@@MiniMetalFab yeah that's a good idea on my project they constantly bald and the bearings break quick lol. I have to think of a better solution
I was the first to like. Quick question i also have a similar kart but when i offroad my air filter gets clogged every time ,any tips?
You can buy outer elements for the filter/filter sleeves
@@fazebudget get a water jacket for the filter it will help keep dirt out!
why not just tap the governor lever hole 1/4 20 and bam done
@@MrRoyalFreak yeah you can we have tried that in the past and ended up cracking the block so we just don't even risk it now. We usually weld the holes shut. I just didn't feel like it this time!
@MiniMetalFab I've literally done it 20 times or more just this year never cracked anything a little red rtv on threads and it's never an issue and don't need to worry about the heat with welding don't hulk torque the bolt in lol just tight 😀
@@MrRoyalFreak that's good to know. We just like to weld it bc 1 we can 2 it's stronger 3 looks better. It's just much more work! We have never had an issue with heat from welding. It doesn't take much to weld the gov holes and the oil sensor hole shut. U can see how we did it on some of our other engine builds we have posted!
Motovox FTW 💯💯
