So you buy your first pocket bike, or maybe you buy your first major upgrade. It's a great looking bike, you go to show it off and realize there are two other people who have the exact same bike. That takes the wind out of the sails a bit, but the good news is that it does not have to stay that way. One of the nice things about pocket bikes is that you don't have to buy a customized bike to have one! You can change your pocket bike's appearance, upgrade its performance, and transform your machine into a custom pocket rocket you can be proud of. You'll find all the tools, parts, and accessories you'll need at pocket bike chop shops.
Turn your normal stock pocket bike into your personal custom pocket rocket! If you're not sure where to find the parts you need, a good place to start is at one of the numerous mini bike forums or that have recently rolled into action on the Internet. There you'll find an enthusiasts' community with unsolicited testimonials (because have you ever seen a company's website with a bad testimonial?) from members- other bikers, who'll tell you where they've found the best deals, and even more importantly, they'll tell you where and what to avoid at all costs!
You may also want to check with your mini-bike dealer. Because of the mushrooming popularity of minimoto and custom pocket bikes, many dealers who originally didn't sell spare pocket bike parts have recently added both parts and accessories to their inventories to meet an increased interest and demand in both. Along with individual parts, you'll see that many chop shop owners and pocket bike dealers also sell performance-enhancing kits that are even complete with instructions that will tell you how to touch up everything. These are very helpful if you're new to the mechanics of custom pocket bikes.
You don't have to look the same as everyone else. Make your custom pocket bike look as good as it rides. Between the Internet and chop shops you will have a wide choice of accessories to make you custom bike stand out from the rest of the group with accessory designs, saddles and saddlebags, trunks, tanks and tank pouches, headlights, horns, chromed wheels, decal kits, etc. If you've seen something done to a pocket bike, you can probably either get it or do it to your own!
Gold pocket bikes are extremely cool and popular but for some reason it can be difficult to find gold pocket bikes. With a little time and work you can paint your pocket bike gold.
Gold pocket bikes are gorgeous and even more striking than pocket bikes of other colors.
1.Start your painting project by removing everything from your frame. You will need to remember where every part came from.
2.Purchase some 80 grit sand paper; you will need two to three packages depending on the size of your bike frame.
3.Sand the frame just until the shine is gone. You don't want to remove too much of the finish.
4.Wash the frame with soap and water. Dry the frame and wait at least an hour before the next step.
5.You will need one can of automotive paint primer, one can of gold automotive spray paint and one can of automotive spray clear coat.
6.Use the primer first and wait for it to dry. Add four to five more coats of primer, waiting the allotted time between coats.
7.Wait at least one day and then sand very lightly. Remove any dust.
The next step is the paint. Apply in the same manner as you did the primer.
8.Wait another day and apply the clear coat the same way. Be sure to allow appropriate drying time.
9.After 24 to 48 hours you can reassemble the bike.
Gold pocket bikes are totally fantastic when painted in this manner. Impress your pocket bike fellow riders with a newly painted bike.
