The mini Mad Max bike was actually an old Harley 250 dirt bike (my friend trashed the motor!) modified to take a Yamaha 80cc motor from a step thru which is almost identical to the Honda 50.
The paintwork was done by me and featured Celtic designs in pink over a metallic purple base (well I did build it for a little girl!!!). The bike was called "KB" because it was Katie's bike......

Re: Maz's Old Bike Projects
The motor featured high compression pistons and trick cams so it tended to "breathe" a little heavily on occasions. So we fitted a beer can as an oil mist catch tank...curt wrote:what was the beer can for some kind of filter?
