Quick Side Project

Here's a project from one of the other guys in my welding class. He bought this little unit for his grandson and set about fixing it up. He lengthened the brake pedal, fixed the center stand and fabricated a chain guard. I offered to make a sissy bar and he was all for it.

Used some leftover galvanized tube from the electrical department of the college. Stuff isn't easy to weld

After that he gave it a nice Nascar paint job with Tony Steward's color and number

It has an old lawnmower motor, not sure how many HP, but with a single large sprocket was pretty quick. What a lucky kid!
