This video was awesome! I've been wanting one of the JD2 benders for awhile now. I'm actually building a mini bike trike but am using 1" square tubing for it! I can't wait to see how this turns out in the end. Keep the videos coming and I'll keep supporting and watching them!
Eye protection... but also to hide my face of which at the time I worked corporate world. You ever seen someone climb the corporate ladder while also being a goofy mini bike rider in their spare time? Free speech ain't free, sadly. Can't keep personal and business separate any more. Ditched the 25 year long career and the helmet in the latest videos. ;)
@@megoingfast I completely understand, lots of backstabbing sorry ass people in the corporate world , I was a territory manager for Nabisco for 18 years and they restructured and I lost my job but now I’m a sheet metal artisan on military aircraft and I love it to finish out my working career
This was a very informative video! Any chance you could make a video showing how to make a trike from like the big she trike Mini Bike Kartel builds? Or explain the changes you would need to this frame to build it into a trike like theirs?
Good afternoon. I will be glad if you help me. I really want a bt200x mini bike, but there are none in my region. I'm ready to do it myself. tell me please, do you have a drawing of the frame, AutoCAD?
Not the frame, the dimensions and angle measures are given in the video series. On the website, there are downloads on the bottom of the page in .dxf for cad use for the metal plates if CNC mill or plasma are available: megoingfast.com/custom-homemade-mini-bike-build-plans/
Nice work. Figuring out the rolled radius into the tight bends takes some work. I've had my JD2 bender since 1988, before they were called JD2. My 1" and 1.250 dies are the ones I've used the most. Has to be miserable working incognito with the full face helmet. New subscriber here.
@@GratefulEd907 we do. It an after school projects so that kids outside of my auto class can join in. Ever year we try to build 4 drift trikes 4 min bikes and 1 cyclekart
I have a question- can you use a manual bender to bend these frames? I'm just asking bc I don't have the $ to invest into a hydraulic bender at the moment but I want to start doing some custom builds. I've been modifying existing minibikes but I want to take it to the next level. Appreciate your videos- let me know what you think if you have a chance.
@@mrjoshua2791 I go back to the ORIGINAL Minibikes of the 1960's & 70's & the hot engine to run was a McCulloch MC10 ? 10 HP 2 stroke with a Karting cast alloy header & I'm down under in New Zealand Cheers for leaving the comments switched on, you fella's in the states have now got it easy ! Trev

did you add that hydraulic cylinder to it or did it come with that cuz I've looked at a few of these and they don't come with that hydraulic cylinder that looks like a high Harbor Freight cylinder
Did you order special bearings for the pit bike front fork stem? Most of the small pit bike front forks that I have found, have a 22 mm steam, but with ~47mm od on the bearing cups
Great job I hope you can notice my comment I hope u can weild a body frame for pocket bike that can fit the 43cc 47cc 49cc engine hope u can make a video doing pocket bike
It won't bend true, and without a sleeve in the weld won't fit in the bender unless you grind it down and sacrifice weld strength and support. So, overall, not the best.
Don't know. Don't have the engine to check. The 440cc 18 HP that's on there will be putting out over 21-22 when I'm done with only minor performance mods and have room enough for the stock gas tank. Only cost $350 with tax.
@@megoingfast Don't Support China ,you may as well used a used good condition Trailbike engine if your chasing that sort that sort of horsepower, you can get low cost Honda dual range CT90cc 4 Strokes for a song with a lighting coil & reliability if your on a budget & upto a 250cc if you want to scare youselves
Damn autocomplete: minimum of 5 speeds & similar weight as the engines your playing with or prefer, not everyone lives in the states with it's cheap prices.No offence.Then builders could tailor the power output to suit their riding abilities.Just an alternative powerplant thought with non Chinese reliability buy local & keep someone in your own Country Fed.Cheers, Trev New Zealand 🙃🤗
I ride a 70s Cat Duster Chopper Almost every day the weather is good just beyond the edge of the paradise campfire. 212 governors removed, velocity stack , foam filter, jet , springs, 4 feet of 3/4 galvanized homemade header pipe, Honda thumb throttle, Suzuki foot pegs, I’ve had it for years She’s eaten many engines I used to go long distance rides with a hot rodded brigs & Stratton 8hp l head 14 tooth sprocket straight on its shaft no clutch I’m sure someone know how rad of a ride that would be. I’m 30 years old & just ordered a bt 200 x , predator 212 & a torque converter... I don’t even have a car These mini bikes are my daily drivers .
The are I believe 4-5 different sets I've got laying around. 2 are Amazon. 1 was studz. 1 was off a RB100 after I switched forks, and one was home made.

If you find someone who can build it in the area. I'm sure someone can build you one but I'm not setup for mass production. Barely have enough room to move around in the garage.
Nice work!!! Any full suspension builds??!!
Kindly question about the wheels how we can get it for international order? I couldn't find in internet 😪
I would like to buy 1 of your frames how can we make that possible
This is awesome! I’ve been looking for a mini bike build like this from scratch!

What 1" CLR bending die are you using or prefer?
What's with the bike helmet on all the time ?
Tbanks for the video. Im looking to make cuatom bikes as a side hobby after my first build was so fun. Great work🙌🙏
Ok great video but why are you wearing riding gear while you’re building it ?

great build guide. I always tell my students to have the seam line up when we use the tubing bender to help with bends and compound bends. Thank you
You should make your students build these. I’d sign up for a class like that if it was available in my area.

@@bonnevillegarage that’s awesome what do you do with the builds?
@@GratefulEd907 scrap the metal each year, and reuse all the main parts.
Did you use one of the dies that came with the harbor freight roller or did you get a 1” roller die for it.
Should try do some on trikes be looking awesome fun next adventure for trails ridings
Great job buddy how much would it cost me to get one of these frames off you bud
Can you please tell the wall thickness and diameter of the pipes? I would be really happy if you can.
Did u know where can i found bushings fo the fork frame to hold to the bike frame

What kind of tubing is this? It is kind of muffled in the video. Thanks!
Do you have plans?
At where can buy on of this
Awesome start for a mini bike build for a custom mini bike frame! Very helpful!
do you happen to know neck tubing size and thickness? and bronze bushing size?
Very well done mate great work keep it up
SAFETY FIRST !
Good work bruh !!
Great job.I really want to get a pipe bender so I can make cool mini bikes like that.

What die are you using to get your curves I’ve got a bunch of them but I can never seem to get my curves that tight maybe I need a new die
1"*3" for the jd2 bender. Model 32 Die Set - 1" Round Tube (1" OD) - 3" CLR - 180DEG: www.jd2.com/model-32-die-set-1-round-tube-1-od
Solid video, new subscriber.
Also, you can just use the WD-40 as a rust prevention.
Two thumbs up man!
Tubing costs around here are too expensive to play around.
Hi, do u mind to share your frame dimension?
Great job I hope you can notice my comment I hope u can weild a body frame for pocket bike that can fit the 43cc 47cc 49cc engine hope u can make a video doing pocket bike
Nice work brother!
What brand name tubing roller do you have there? Thanks, Merry Christmas!
JD2
sorry for another question, why did you change to the second bender after the first roll? will the harbor freight roller not do every bend?
There is a roller and a bender. Roller will not be a specific degree radius, a bender will be. The rollwer cannot do the 130+ degree bends needed.
Make a frame for big tires next with a rear swing arm for extreme off-roading.
I can't find 90 inch, would it work to weld 2 or three lengths end to end?
It won't bend true, and without a sleeve in the weld won't fit in the bender unless you grind it down and sacrifice weld strength and support. So, overall, not the best.
@@megoingfast thanks, I will keep looking for a longer one.
wish I had a pipe bender
What material do you use for the steering stem?
I have a v-twin and opposed twin Briggs and Stratton engine, do you think if I followed your build to the T, these engines will fit?
Don't know. Don't have the engine to check. The 440cc 18 HP that's on there will be putting out over 21-22 when I'm done with only minor performance mods and have room enough for the stock gas tank. Only cost $350 with tax.

16:35 and online from a place close to home
Deserves way more views. Hope you can make seperate videos about your tools and or mods
part 3-5 starts covering more details - filming part 3 the past couple days but this is a very large project with many parts for many builds
