YEET! That was the best part of the video. It looks like you tried to make your minibike look like a coleman! IT LOOKS AMAZING! I never thought a doodlebug would look so good in red!!
She's a beauty bud! Nice job on the paint. I posted a link to my channel on another video, I look forward to seeing more from you (you might dig my non-hemi/hemi piston build).
Yours was worse than ours. Ours came with brakes a rear tire brakes a rip string an engine not even all of it a clutch thing a button starter for saftey or somethin like that. It didn’t come with a bit of the engine the front tire and axle and no air in the back tire. Good thing is it came with the chain.
Look werry nice compact powerfool and fun to drive ...i wish to made one but unfortuatly here in Europe no Frame to buy...Also im not sure if made it can registrate eassly ... 🤔 wheels and engine and other stuf its not a problem...

@@meekfreak28 I wasn't happy with no tension-er ,chain was still sloppy with moved up engine. innovated one in there with a good tension spring and it works well.
I'm doing a no mod. Also, you can find a 30 series "flat" plate on ombwarehouse.com for $99. It might be another option for situations similar to this!
I used a mount plate under the engine and notched out the 4 torque converter mounting holes and made them oblong so the plate could swing up counter clock wise ,then tightened the plate to the engine and everything fit well.ALSO grinded off a part of the back of this plate to keep it from hitting the engine.

Liked and subbed. Post up some more minibike videos. I have a good bit of mini bike videos on my channel, mostly racing. Check it out if you get time. Thanks
People want more minibike videos!?!? Leave a reply
Yes please.
Talk is cheap Meeks, judging by the lack of replies (dishearting isn't it) BS walks, Goodluck.. Regards Trev NZ 😇
I just bought one today for my daughter
please make more videos on this
Yes
you could add pegs to the back axle hub so that when it tips over it doesn’t crush the air filter or pulleys on opposing side
opposing side! lol dienasty
Yeah, you turned that bike into a really cool mini. Impressive!
Thank you!
I'm a small engine mechanic. The "check valve" looks like a fuel filter used on a lot of Stihl brand outdoor power equipment machines

1:56 the non-hemis are better for modifying anyways, you got the right choice.
Just finished painting my doodle she getting painted black and I just ordered a stage one kit for my 212
Great work on the Doodlebug!!
I love how he stopped to support the great American in the back ground doing a pull 😂🫡
Cool build man.
I just got the same bike in the same wore out condition you described.
It’s always asked about when people see it sitting in corner
that thing is nice. for sumone that is doing a stage 1 use a hemi thay have bigger cams from the factory now
Thank you. I just installed a hemi on a friend bike. I did not know that
How much bigger Cam than the "old" Hemiheads ?....Trev, Cheers
Buy American & KEEP your family working ,China will take over soon ! Trev New Zealand 😇
How did u remove the governor
Cool bike new sub just wish I could ride a bd I'm 6 5 way to small
Welcome to channel and thank you!
Just got a db30 frame out of the rafters at the shop. Stock red with all the stickers on it. Put a new predator ghost on it. She's mean.
Good job
thank you
I have the same bike and my brakes don’t work they only work when I push the bike backwards how come
Yours was worse than ours. Ours came with brakes a rear tire brakes a rip string an engine not even all of it a clutch thing a button starter for saftey or somethin like that.

did you have to cut the torque converter a lot of people are saying you do a lot are saying you don’t
What size is the chain? I have same setup but I can’t find chain because mines super loose
Nice job! I'm in the process of Restoring One Right Now that I got for free! Question, does your back sprocket have 5 bolts hold it too the wheel?
Look werry nice compact powerfool and fun to drive ...i wish to made one but unfortuatly here in Europe no Frame to buy...Also im not sure if made it can registrate eassly ... 🤔 wheels and engine and other stuf its not a problem...
Beautiful
Thank you
I'm glad cam was super low because I wanted to know how to start one
Do you have a link for the header pipe??
Where’s the exhaust from?
What header is that and from where
Did the motor swap bolt right in to the frame or did you drill it or a new plate
Bought the adjustable plate and had to drill holes still
Did the adjustable plate make room for the TC? Or do you still need to trim the back plate or use risers under the adjustable plate?
looks sick
what exhaust pipe did you use specifically? can you give me the link ?
What header is that

They're mad wheelies
Mount the tank in top, or get an aftermarket moped gas tank. It would look a lot better, and easier to put gas in.
Where you find wheels at?
Wow, what a weird sounding exuast!!!!!!!
So how fast does it go?
Nice doodle bug resto. Is that a rattle can paint job? If so, what brand and color did you use?
Thank you. Duplicolor cherry red metallic
@@meekfreak28 how many cans did you end up using? for primer and the red
I've got a db30 I'm building but I am using a mb200 rear.
Lots of mods to even make it fit.
That thing has to go more than 40?
42 was last time I seen on my
Phone gps
Did you have to do any modifications for the torque convertor to fit right
Yes had to shave the rear side down to clear frame
@@meekfreak28 hell yea bro thanks. I just got me a baja dirt bug and im getting ready to build it. Thanks for the info
@@TheHondaracingpower no problem. They sure are fun and easy. Be sure to subscribe for more !
@@meekfreak28 will do bro check out my vids ill be uploading on the mini bike soon.
@@meekfreak28 with out a doubt , the torque converter is the way to go.
The fly wheel not the rip string
I’m really about to spend $700 on my own mini bike, to build it myself fully ofc
I could build you a trick one for that minus engine but I'm in New Zealand & getting over a massive stroke @ 57 that nearly killed me. Cheers Trev
What's ofc btw ???
@@trevinskiking2165 of course
@@jebus6246 Thanks..the internet is forming a new pigeon English ! ( Writing etc runs Professionally in the family) : that's not even abreviated correctly.Cheers Trev NZ 🙃
@@trevinskiking2165 youre a fabricator?
Never mind it was the throttle not the clutch
Were you able to use the stock chain tensioner?
No I used a #35 chain. I keep chain tension by sliding engine forward.
@@meekfreak28 I wasn't happy with no tension-er ,chain was still sloppy with moved up engine. innovated one in there with a good tension spring and it works well.
Nice bike! Whats top speed?
42mph! In the process of restoring another one! Check it out
@@meekfreak28 i sure will!
this set up has great low -mid end torque.
@@ELVISRN1 Hi, that's because it's probably near stock.Trev NZ Cheers
for How much $ u got that frame
Did you have to mod anything for the torque converter setup
Yes. Have to notch the rear of converter plate to clear the frame
I'm doing a no mod. Also, you can find a 30 series "flat" plate on ombwarehouse.com for $99. It might be another option for situations similar to this!

@@ELVISRN1 ua-cam.com/video/5DdmACwp6-w/v-deo.html. This was a no frame mod, no cut, drill holes and mount method with an active spring tensioner.

Must be a chore to keep the front wheel on the ground
Don't hit the gas too hard, and lean forward.
you mean hydrolic brake?
no chain tension-er ? got my torque converter cover on and looks great .
How do uou put gas in it
I have a race fuel can I use with the flexible hose
Zip tie it under seat
And kill switch not saftey thing

Yeah those filter suck i had them on mine and those kept on killing the engine I took them off my bike runs 10000 percent better
