Can you sell a frame already lowered an ready to assemble
Hell yeah. I would like to more of these type of videos!!!!!!!!!
Those braces are sweet this is going to be a sweet little bike awesome job bud
Thanks 👍
I can’t wait to pick up the brackets for the rear just ordered the gussets for the frame! Love my db30
Music goes perfect with the video very Moving
I miss my doodle bug i had as a kid. It was stolen sadly. This reminds me of all those good times i had with it. Keep up the good work you guys, i love the projects and parts you guys work with. Have a good day guys
Sorry to hear they stole your bike. No fun. Thanks for checking our build out though.
i love what you do, I've always felt special attraction for mini bikes, a big greeting from Spain
That's sweet you have a bracket for the hydraulic brake that'll save you a lot of fab time
Thank you I finnaly figured out the brand of my mini bike now that I see this frame it’s the exact same I’m looking to do what your doing except 10 inch wheels! Plus it’s the original yellow it came in
I have an old Doodle Bug I was gonna sell for cheap, but after seeing this. I’m definitely rethinking what to do with it
Decisions decisions. Let us know what you end up doing with your Doodlebug!

It’s going in line behind my flat track minibike build that I’m working on now. So far I’ve installed a pit bike front end with original triple tree and shocks, 10 inch wheels and tires like the ones that Cars and Cameras used on their build. Mine however is based on a 909 minibike frame. I’m still debating whether or not to put a rear swing arm on it.
Don’t sell it. It’s worth a lot more than what people want to pay
@Go Power Sports I am in the process of welding in the extended axle plates, what rear axle bolt and spacers did you use???? would be very helpful!
I'm at the same step as you, I ordered the mega moto 80/105 axle and I have to measure and cut my own spacers. Hopefully you made it past this process and it rides great!
My doodlebug is full suspension. I have a swing arm from a pocket bike on my doodle bug. I have y'all's holey gusset kit. I have a kx 100 engine in my doodlebug. She freaking rolls. Very comfortable being full suspension.
Nice, can't wait to see it.
@@GoPowerSports y'all should offer these axle hangers in different lengths
These db30s frames are my jam man. Please manufacture some new ones. The doodlebug (db30s) is the quintessential mini bike. The world is running out, we need more. The Lil Rascal is solid but these fill the void between big wheel and small frame mini bikes.
I was gonna sell mine. So glad I didn’t. Plus people want to low ball you. They don’t realize how rare these guys truly are
@@Blessedup69 absolutely! I love my Doodlebugs!
colman ct200u frame is the same. They actually bought the patent
@@makeitmark27 it is extremely close. I guess you could put small wheels on a one....🤔.....oh boy!
We need the part 2.
Lol, nice! The music does the work some justice because seems no one else sure as hell is! Sad but metal work is more refined than the trash our country sells to innocent familys for polotics! Awesome fix!
Thanks?!
I know this video is a few years old, but I was wondering what angle you have the fork tube? I can tell there's more angle than original, and it looks great. I have an old Doodlebug in storage that I'm about to resurrect once I finish my son's Manco Streaker build. I'm definitely going to lower the Doodlebug a bit after seeing how sick your build looks. Great job! Beautiful mini!
Do yall have a kit to put a headlight on the coleman ct200u’s?
Awesome vid
Much appreciated!
@@GoPowerSports you're welcome :)
Sweet build! And I usually don't care much for the doodlebugs. I've asked before on fb and didn't get an answer. Will these wheels accept a 5/8 flange bearing? I like the look of the wheel but I don't want to run 12mm axles.
They will not, you would need a lathe to open up the wheel to take a standard bearing. We've tried to shove a bearing into this wheel to make it work, but it's way too tight.
@@GoPowerSports thanks for the reply.
Are there any other ways to make it more comfortable other than replacing the front end for front shocks? When I go over a tiny bump at high speeds it really messes up my back
Just found out about GoPowersports mini bike kits.
Subbed! 🇨🇦👍
Do you have a Canadian distributor?
Are y’all gonna sell the weldments for the frame and back wheel on your website?
when can i order these brackets i have everything to do the project just no brackets for the axle a year later
When is the next installment on the slammed Doodle Bug? When will the rear axle hangers be available?
After you shortened the front shocks, how long are they?
What forks are you using? Will Coleman ct200u forks fit the doodlebug?
When are the axle mounting plates gonna be available
What size rear wheel spacers did you use since you relocated the rear wheel? I’m trying to do the same??
where can I get a some what cheap larger doodle bug ive looked everywhere you tube please haelp
When will the rear axle brackets be available
Do you guys sale the extra tree separate for the front end?
I felt that cameramans pain through my fone
What side of the rear axle goes on the sprocket side the short side or the long side one sticks out a little further than the other from the hub I need to know which side is the sprocket side? thanks.
Hope you guys start selling this as a kit
you know you're a welder when you catch a rag on fire if you haven't caught a rag on fire yet do more welding.
When will u be releasing those axle brackets i need a set. Like right now
Yes! Should be back in stock within the next week.
@@GoPowerSports great thanks!

@@GoPowerSports
I’ve seen that video. I’m more interested in how you stiffened and lowered the shocks used on the slammed doodle bug build.
How do you get a doodle bug frame
How to strong are these hangers I’m a big guy lol
I an repainting my doodlebug any good color combinations
What's your favorite color?
whats up guys
Did you ever order that Updawg from GoPowerSports.com?
@@GoPowerSports i typed in UPDAWG and you guys dont carry them so...idk
What's up dawg 😁
Looking good guys. I would like to know why you dont reply to my emails i live in Australia and would like to order from your website but you won't answer and let me know if you mail out to Australia....
John.... Australia...
We can ship to Australia! What all are you after?
Your average Customer Cannot do this, so why not make a kit we can assemble?
Would love to!
California law bans small off-road gas engines, including lawnmowers and chainsaws. Are mini bike motors in this class?
You would have to buy in a kit form with the engine separately. Which we can get you the Mega Moto 212 Minibike kit and you pick up your own engine local.
Are y’all gonna sell the weldments for the frame and back wheel on your website?
Yes, hope to have them online soon!
@@GoPowerSports can y’all also make a weldments to relocate the rear wheel for the Motovox
