Author Topic: Daughters' Pit Bike (Read 2409 times)

During my down time at the races we watched supermoto races and some kids ride their dirt bikes around. My 6 year old fell in love with them and I figured I could use one to toot around on at the track. I recently purchased the PS4 and what easier way to get this other than trading the PS3 for it.

I was told that it was a 125cc and given some of the faults on it. After some research on this Chinese thing I found out that it is a 70cc but I don't mind. It's a little four stroke and it lugs me around fine. This pic is with the plastic off and now it's completely torn apart. I'm replacing some parts and then painting it pink and black. Two major issues are there is no tube in the front tire and one of the handlebar clamps is busted. Triple trees are only $30 so it's not a biggey. Hell, everything on this doesn't really even top $50 and that's for complete plastics!

Oh yeah. She's been into everything I'm into whether it was jeep rock crawling, turning wrenches, baseball or my play toys. And don't forget the many more hours on the video games than I have!

Nice man, thats cool she likes everything you do. Keep um close and have fun and they will turn out to be great kids and even better when they are adults.

I have one of those as well. It has a 107cc motor in it. A couple of us have them and race at my buddies house. Fun to bang some bars.

She's stoked about it. Wants to show all of her friends and everything. Too bad it's torn apart. The frame, the front forks, swing arm, rear shock body and rear brake stay are painted. Just a few more parts and the plastic to paint and some new parts to order and it's going back together. Tune the carb a little and throw on a better filter and we'll see if I can get it to rip a little better, I mean be reliable for her!

Before she gets on it she needs to get bike riding down. Once she gets on this I'll have to fabricate some training wheels to ensure she's go to go.

Just went on a spending spree this weekend. Here's one of my purchases. Not usually a Husky brand fan but for it being a 10 drawer with ball bearings and 40" wide for $298, you can't beat it. Figured I'd throw my daughters pit bike frame inside the top. She'd probably get a kick out of it being in there!

I don't know what the deal is with these pics coming from my phone. They are in the correct orientation up until I attach them here.

My budy just got the same box for $200, they had a bunch of them that had minor dents from packaging them and shipping them from the factory to the store. Now it's time to really spend the money on the tools to fill the drawers.

Oh yeah. I have a decent amount but after looking at sockets I realized that I need quite a few more!

The plastic doesn't look great close up and I'm also not done with it. I just mocked up to take a look at it and see how the new tip I cut would look.
