Really clean bike, I like it! What material did you use to strenghten the frame?

 

Cheers mate, I just used mild steel pipe with a 4mm wall thickness.

 

any pics on how you strengthened the frame?

 

One of the sweetest fifty's ever seen! I like it!

 

DWNUNDR - I marked the back-bone of the frame with a scribe (so I could realign in correctly when I put it back together) and then cut it in half with a set of pipe cutters. I bought a length of 48.1mm DIA. x 4 W.T. black steel CHS and cut it to the correct length, I then bashed the pipe down inside the frame with a rubber mallet (this site pipe is a perfect fit but requires a bit of force). Once the frame was back together I realigned the two scribed marks and had the frame weld by a mate who owns a MIG. The weld was a little untidy so I cleaned it up with a belt sander than had the whole frame powdercoated. The weld mark cannot be seen now as the powdercoating adds a thickness to the frame. I was trying to find some chromemoly tube but it was quite hard to find so I ended up just using the black steel CHS with a greater wall thickness.

Mini-Fifty - Cheers bud

 

Here a couple of new ones. I have added fastace bs-22ar rear shock & Geico graphics

Those Geico graphics are clean looking.

 

I'm looking at getting a new swingarm soon and I like the look of the Billetware sportsman. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good alternative? Shipping is bit of a problem here in Aus I got a quote from Billetware and the shipping was approximately $100 for the swingarm.

 

Thats a very clean bike i love it, not sure you really need a swingarm as the bike sitting level as it is. Most of us Ozzie guys hang out on Miniriders btw.

 

Thanks mate, yeah I have an account on miniriders as well just seems pm has more followers.. The bike does sits pretty well ATM but I've got the mod bug and i have bought just about all the billet parts I can, now it's the expensive parts left.

 

Throw a whit back fender on!

Looks so sick.

 

glad to see ya got a HD frame now, do ya ever ride your bike mate? that things is ridiculously clean

 

Haha yeah mate the photos were taken just after I changed the frame over so I thought I would give it a clean before the transplant. Definitely needed the HD frame with the 108 just need the front forks now to make it a full mod. It gets a bit sketchy now with stock style forks.. Lol

 

Looks fresh.

I like the stance of your bike and I have some parts that are waiting to be installed. So my question is are your forks the stock ones with just the hd springs and +1 forks?

Yeah just fast50s +1 HD legs, bushes and springs..

 

Finally someone that has a DrD pipe on a stocka!! Iv been trying to get a width measurement on the header pipe for a while now and nothing!!! So what is the width measurement please.. Also what do you think of the pipe overall preformance wise? And most of all... The exhaust note?? Does it sound any good?

 

Ahhh me being a silly fool to fast flicking the thumb to scroll down missed the part that it's a 108!! But still I think they only make a DrD in 1 size width... Still good to know the width if you have it

The pipe is only made in one size and its designed to suit engines from 50cc to 108cc. The pipe is stepped, the smaller diameter which is closest to the head is like 16-17mm and the larger end is 25mm. Performance wise the pipe is great definitely makes the bike feels like it runs more crisp. I have run the pipe on both 88cc and 108cc and it runs good on both and sounds awesome, it's pretty loud though.

Not the best video cos its in a closed garage but it will give you a bit of an idea.. This is on the 108cc RH..

Haha yeah I took the video one night around 8:00pm so I tried not to annoy the neighbours to much.. The pipe definitely has more of a crisp punchy note than the stock, gives it the bike bike sound. As far as pipes spend the bit extra and skip the FMF powercore and go for the speed pipe or the drd. I have heard a lot of good things about the speed pipe on stockers, there are two sizes, one for stock and another for big bore. I ended up choosing the drd cos it covered a wider range of displacement.
