    Looking great!

    I adapted the clutch lock lever from the lever that came with the kit to the old school brake (clutch) lever. This makes it much less complicated to start.

    replace fork steer tube

    I have done it on a few forks and been happy with it. Will it just be a cruiser or will you be doing high speeds with it? If it is of no use to you as is you may as well try it.

    My first attempt at a build: Introducing a "SwingBrat"

    I dont mind at all. The idea is to make it your own. I am excited to see the rest of the build. The design with a single support down the middle is likely stronger than the original design anyway.:thumbsup:

    My first attempt at a build: Introducing a "SwingBrat"

    Looking great already! I really like that springer on there.

    Here is a quick video comparing the factory sound to a custom single on the bobber jr. and the dual exhaust pipes on the easy Rider...

    Swingbike Kits

    I have pre-made 20" setups but I can make bigger or smaller with the materials I have. You just need to tell me your wheel size and an estimated desired wheelbase. (Fork shapes vary)

    Bobber Jr.

    A couple better angles of the new exhaust.

    Factory vs New pipe.

    Bobber Jr.

    I was going to make a dual exhaust but the kickstand was in the way. This still sounds much better than factory. It also gave it more torque and less hp which is perfect for the kids.

    New plan. Stay tuned...

    Bobber Jr.

    My daughter mentioned she thought my bike sounded better so I made an additional muffler from spare parts for the kid's bike. I used thick walled 1" pipe for the exit to create a lower pitch sound. The 1/4" inlet extends to the back side inside the second muffler and the 1" pipe extends to the...

    Swingbike Kits

    I like 20" and 16" best but if you want something a little different I can probably do it for you. I can weld if needed.

    Swingbike Kits

    The black one with mag wheels is in Bordeaux with regular spoked wheels now. The buyer made a YouTube video with it. Search for swingbike Bordeaux. That one was a good riding bike. The springer felt nice. I think I remember making the front head tube shorter to fit a 20" springer. If that is the...

    Swingbike Kits

    I used my very lacking computer skills to put a video together featuring just some of the many bikes finished using these same parts. These frames were all built in my garage at home with minimal equipment. Some of them were finished by people who bought complete frames. Probably the best...

    I came up with an interesting but effective and free solution for holding the lens in place. I got a pull start for it for Christmas.

    Bobber Jr.

    I am glad the prices have come down so far. I am into their whole bike, motor and everything for less than half the cost of your first motor. I just got back from a 1 mile cruise with my daughter. It is about 20 degrees Fahrenheit out today. She had a braces filled grin and giggles all the way...

    Bobber Jr.

    The kids have been able to do a large portion of the work so far. They have been able to see how a carburetor works, how to set and adjust cable tension, how to torque nuts, what different washers are for. They all got to ride it today and are very excited to get out again Saturday for some more...

    Bobber Jr.

    I picked up a stingray jr frame and an engine kit for my kids for Christmas. I want to have them do as much of the build as possible themselves. I was going to have them cut and prep for welding and build a frame but everything fits so perfectly on this one that I see no need to modify it or...

    Shimano ffs

    It could make a motorized geared conversion simpler.
