Vintage Mini Bike Restoration | Budget Build & Built Flathead!

We restore an old mini bike! Vintage stiff chassis mini bikes are popular right now, many people upgrade them with Predator 212 engines and go racing, but we opt for a built vintage Briggs and Stratton 5HP flathead engine on this project to keep it all old. We take the mini bike apart, paint it, make a custom seat, install the Briggs engine and go for a ride!

"Should put that thing on a skateboard". I like where you're going with that, John!

John: "Everything is just stuck, worn out, or broken." Dude...you just described the beginning of every great project you and Ike have ever done. LOL!!!

I love that you painted it metallic blue. I have darn near the same mini. My old man bought it for me on my eighth birthday. powered by a flat head and it is Metallic blue!! The flat head is blown up (may have been over revved) and I have been contemplating restoring it to its glory of my youth. I have an old racing 5hp Briggs sitting in the attic waiting to be put back in service. This video may have given me the inspiration that I needed to get the project started.

Brought me back guys. I had a bike just like that when I was a kid. Can't wait to see it kick some china engine butt. I always enjoy Minibike Monday. Thanks guys.

This old school mini bike build is one of my favourites!

With the 35 chain breaker . You don't need a master link . Just use the chain breaker to reassemble the chain. The mini bike looks great

We had those in the 70's. Fun to ride and useful in the pit stop. My dad was a mechanic for a motorcycle racing team so we would ride those back and forth to get parts, food, drinks, and sometimes help!Great video, keep it up, I actually learned a lot.

I have several briggs and stratton engines still running after 40 years. I have never had a predator last more then 5 year with out blowing up

Beautiful restoration job guys !! The metallic blue looks great. Also like the chain guard, it also protects you from the centrifugal clutch which gets red hot ...

[eddyoddrod]

Bike looks great with the new paint and upholstery.

Good to see you guys cleaning up an old "Stiffy".... Fun times ahead comparing Predators to the trusty old Briggs and Stratton.. Let the fun begin!

[sweeneysweeney]

Awesome mini guys. Color is killer! Briggs sounds good. Its an oldie but a goodie!!

Those fuel tank wingnuts have the name of your gentleman region written all over them.

Tell u a trick to paint wheels rub a little Vaseline on the tire before you paint the paint won't stick then you can just wipe the tire neat trick

i love looking for details in the background and guessing what the next big projects or big modifications to a previous build might be. im having a field day right now because that green rail is sitting suggestively close to that

[legokid]

Yall are the only reason I look forward to Mondays

[joebeaumont]
