Uncle Mike's Budget Mini-Bike Build part 3

 

Because we are going to make this a Budweiser themed bike, we will need to paint it red, maybe some white as well.



For a finishing touch I ordered up an old school oval number plate for the front, so I could attach the new Dunn Man stickers I made up





We fabricated a new axle adjuster base from some angle iron to fix one side that had a tab missing


We also welded some tabs on the forks for the front number plate


Then we stripped the bike back down and began removing the old paint

 




The frame is getting a red paint job, the paint can said, "apple red", but we'll call in Dunnwieser red.


The starter, housing, chain guard and gas tank gets a new coat of white.


Partially assembled




We bought an aftermarket exhaust, designed specifically for this bike, we'll have to see if we need to add a muffler and some wrap.





I then added the Dunnweiser stickers to the sides of the tank



and it is finished:




We later added a muffler and wrapped the entire exhaust with Moroso header wrap. We also added a few more stickers.





just a reminder of what we started with
