Planet Minis

Hey guys! I'm sorry I don't know how to post pic's on Planetminis but I'm posting a link to a web site where I know how to post pic's. If this is not cool with the site, please feel free to pull this post. I've been into vintage mini's for almost 5 years now. It started when I wanted to buy a little around the town bike. I started off with a 1971 Honda CT70H. You know how it goes, one is never enough so I bought 2 more CT70H's. I changed the front end on the green one in the pic and put some BMX bars on it. I'm looking to put one of those new Lifan engines in it or a big bore kit. I kinda want to keep it Japenese? My first bike was a Honda Z50 so I thought I would buy one of those too(Two, I now have 2). The one it the pic has a Lifan 120cc engine and it does 55mph! Not bad for $300. I did put a little custom pipe on it and it hits hard! I wanted a little 2 stroke so I picked up a Yamaha GT80(2). I found a vintage Al Baker cone pipe on E-bay and put it on my 73. The bike sounds great but only tops out at just under 50mph. I think if I do some porting and maybe a jet kit, I can get it to do around 60mph? I have big plans for my other GT80(the red one is not mine) but I don't know how that will go. I really love Don's thread where he is showing the work he is doing on his z50. Like I said, I have big plans for my CT70 and GT80. I will try to post pic's of the work I am doing on that. Planetminis.com rocks!

what mods did you need to put that lifan engine in the z50. Sweet looking bike post more pics those don't look like they do a nice bike like that justice!

Nice bikes. I like the 2 strokers.

Your 50 flies doing 55mph!?

That Schwinn is pretty sweet, too.

i hear the gt80 is good swap into a ysr50 frame.
