I am waiting on parts for a couple of projects and decided to clean up my shop. Then something shiny caught my eye. I have been squirreling away *cough..hoarding..cough* lots of parts for years. Turns out I had nearly everything I needed to build a mini bike and after all, these parts would take up a lot less shelf space as an assembled bike than if they were on the shelf, so really, what choice did I have??
I started by bending up some tubing
Then I laid out some of the parts that I have. The forks are from a Yamaha BW200. The factory frame is from a Honda NH80 scooter. Wheels/tires/engine came from Northern Tool over the years.
After a lot of measuring and tack welding on a make shift jig I have the beginnings of the bike. The seat is from a Kymco scooter and most of the other smaller pieces were on hand. I still need to bend up some tubing for a seat support and there will be some more bracing to the down tube before it is ready for a ride.
The rear brake is from a Yamaha R1 parts bike. I just need to make a bracket to hold the caliper.
So far, this is what I have got. I will mount the seat next and go from there.
None of the pics work my dude

I still can't see them :(
Pics are working for me now, they were not working for me last night.

Fixed
I am going to use these two bare steel nuts welded to the frame and two 4" bolts to maintain adjustment of the engine mounting position. The engine is mounted in slotted holes so I don't want it to be able to move during use.
I bent up a piece of tubing to fit the underside of the seat. This will be part of the frame with a hinge for the seat to access the gas tank.
Still need to add a front support to the seat frame. All of the steel which is rear of the rear wheel bearings will be removed once the frame is done.
Front support for the seat frame work is in.
Started adding in support for the down tube. The space between will be filled with sheet metal for more scooter look.
I added a down pipe to the muffler which will connect to a short piece of flex exhaust pipe (to allow engine position/chain tension adjustments) which will connect to an angled crossover pipe to the lower frame tubes and out
Floor board is in
Built a set of medium rise ape hangers

That stance is perfect.

Thanks! It's a good fit and comfortable.
Nice!
What year's the Bug in the background?
This tubing will route the exhaust out thru the frame tubing
The rear brake is completely installed and bled.
Kickstand is shortened and installed.
In reply to Ben_Modified :
That's a really cool idea to run the exhaust through the frame.

Thanks Pete!
Rear fender is on.
I am going to upgrade the steering head bearing to roller bearings and strengthen the steering head. I welded up a steering head and installed the bearing races.
Spray primer and paint applied
Glad the tank had marine gas in it.....or as we called it back in the old days...regular unleaded!
I like your color choice, it contrasts the red engine nicely.
