I've been giving my Metro a bit of love recently. I swapped the original GET engine from Ruckus to the Metro. The GET in the Metro was getting really tired, so this really helped wake it up, plus I get the addition of the Ruckus swingarm! I've been ordering a few parts here and there. I just got my stretch kit from Small Fast Things as well as my Ruckus triple tree adapter from Zen Kustumz . Gonna be changing out the controls and whole front suspension set up!

I now have a way to get Mike's Mini Motors merch! I've had people ask me how to get shirts and stuff in the past, so I finally got around to getting this set up. Check it out and see if there is anything that you like. There are shirts, hoodies, stickers, and more. Any purchase helps fund the channel! Thanks everyone!

Feeling thirsty on this nice sunny day? Stop by The Basement Ecapse Rooms (139 9th St W, Kalispell, MT) and pick up some lemonade from the Captain Fizzy's lemonade and Galactic Lemonade stand! Our niece and nephews set up a lemonade stand, and are offering a few different choices of lemonade and some snacks too.

Z50R customer build done and picked up, and they were stoked! This bike rips with the 88cc big bore kit on it and pretty much makes 1st gear useless... haha! This little thing turned out better than I was hoping!

05/01/2022

Thank you for the support, everyone!!! I got to 1K subs! You all rock!

04/27/2022

Got my sample merch in today! I've had a few people ask me about shirts and merch before so I started looking into it. Found a company and ordered these samples. I'll have more details later, but for now what's everyone's thoughts?

04/26/2022

The weather was nice, so my wife and I went out scootin' for dinner! Went and checked out downtown. That was some good food! If you are in Kalispell and looking for a great taco, check them out!

04/08/2022

New goodies thanks to !!! Thanks man! Rear brake lever so I can install the rear disc brake kit on the Ruckus, and a steering stem adapter with Koso Guage for the upcoming Metruck build!

Everyone mark your calendars for this one! Underbone is making a weekend of it, instead of just one day. Come join them, myself and many others to chill, tune, ride and just have a great time one August 12th &13th, and then the F2F10 ride on August 14th. I went to last year's ride and it was amazing, and this year Underbone is really stepping it up to make it the best ride anywhere!

Mini Bike Snow Bike Build - Part 2 - Suspension, Chain, Brakes and then First Test Drive

It's alive!!! Well, at the end of the video it is...

In this video, I finish up the Mega Moto Mini Bike Snow Bike! I start off showing you the suspension set up I came up with, get the chain situation figured out and the add some stopping power with the brakes. Once all of that is done, I take it out for a test ride!

Don't miss the blooper I added at the end too!

I was able to take the Mini Bike Snow Bike for its first test drive this last weekend. How do you think it went? Keep an eye out for the video later this week!

I got the suspension fabbed up this last weekend, so now the mini bike snow bike supports its own weight again! I even lowered the lift and sat on it, and it supported me just fine. It's pretty stiff, but not bad for putting it together with parts I already had. And since I'm trying to not modify the stock frame at all, I ended up making a bracket for the top shock mounts that bolts into place!

Just posted my first video of the Mini Bike Snow Bike build! I get a swing arm built and got the track attached to the bike. Check out the video and let me know what you think!

https://youtu.be/ROdh4oIn6EI

01/25/2022

Got the frame of the snow track swingarm all tack welded together! I think if I were to start all over, I would design it a bit different possibly. But this is how it will stay for now. Next up, let this thing support its own weight with some suspension!!!

Let the build begin! I got all my parts in today from and Amazon. Gonna start digging into this project right now! Stoked to get to use my bender some more!

01/16/2022

Just pulled the trigger on parts to try to make this a reality! Mini Bike Snow Bike!!! I already have the ski front end that I built last winter. My plan is to make it into a swing arm and add a couple shocks so I can have a little bit of suspension. Of course I couldn't find most of the parts I need locally, so now I have to wait for shipping! Ugh!

Over the holidays, I picked up some parts from FLP Parts when they had a sale. I purchased Rear Sets, a front frame cover, hub cap, frame caps, and a key cover. In this video I will be installing the rear sets and the front frame cover since I ordered them already powder coated. The hub cap, frame caps, and key cover need to be anodized, and then they can be installed. Keep an eye out for that video in the near future.

After this video, we will have a rolling chassis! In this video, I get rid of the old, broken and crappy controls that were on the bike and put brand new parts on. I even decided to upgrade to brakes to hydraulic brakes! After I do that, I get started on the back of the bike. I get the rotted old tire replaced, install the sprocket adapter and brake caliber. Stay tuned for the next Monstrosity Moto episode, where we will get the engine installed! Then I will have two Mega Moto Mini Bikes to mess around on!

Also, David Kint, QuickDrawD, and B Brown, if you did not see my post on YouTube, you have until November 10th to message me about your winnings from the 500 subscriber giveaway, otherwise I will redraw names and give them out to others. So you better hurry!

Check out the video to see me get it installed on my Honda Ruckus and see how it looks. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe!!!
