Well seeing I may effectively have my own section to put my worklog in I thought why not.
I know this isnt relevent to this forum and I am not running any toyota parts but I thought people might be interested to see some custom work done on something unconventional.
I wanted a scooter that was affordable, had a clutch, air filled tyres and was relatively fast and cheap to mod and service. This ruled out any go-ped or zenoa engine. So I decided to make one that was made from the parts of a pocket bike, cheap easy and with disk brakes.
Anyway here goes:
- Heres what I started with after I stripped the frame and choped a bottom plate off
- After I chopped off the rear fork and welded on a pocket bike fork that I prepared earlier
- I braced the frame
- I welded up the rear forks properly, chopped some bike forks down for the front, bolted them to a wheel and sat it next to where I thought it would end up sitting
- My new custom fork tack welded together
my new forks welded to the original forks that had been chopped
how it made the frame sit with the lower height, notice how it slopes downwards
the front part of the frame chopped getting measured to see how much to take off
aligning the newly cut down forks and checking for straightness
