I pray that your daughter finds the same kind of love in mini bikes that you, my son, my daughters, and I have found. My guess is that she will! Love the story, man! Go PowerSports! For the win!
So cool ,I bet your daughter will love her dad restoring and riding minibikes .I still love them till this day ,I’m sixty year old lady 😮 ,but guess what my son’s for my retirement as a school bus driver for 31 years got me a minibike and it is awesome 👏 so this old lady still rides on 😅👍
Beautiful build! Im picking up a Hornet tomorrow just like yours. I cant wait to get started on it. I have plenty of mini bikes but need one more. Thank you for sharing your love for these.
Thanks for checking out our build. It's a labor of love and glad we were able to showcase it. Good luck on your own build! Send photos when you're done.
1:15 that's the one I owned in the early 70s except mine had a black seat. My brother & I paid $129.99 at Woolco in San Antonio. A blast to ride. 3.5 hp Tecumseh engine. Unfortunately the belt began stretching & slipping & it got slower & slower. My cousin bought it & put the engine in his go kart.
YOU DID A GREAT JOB ON THE REBUILD. I FOUND IN SEATTLE WASHINGTON (AT THE TRANSFER STATION) A K AND S MODEL 90. HAD TO DO A COMPLETE REBUILD, THERE WAS NO ENGINE AS WELL. I CLEAR COATED THE ORIGINAL PAINT AND DECALS ON THE FRAME AND FENDERS AND MATTE BLACK ON THE REST. 1970'S BRIGGS AND STRATTON 3 HP (NOT MANY ENGINES FIT THE FRAME) COMET DRIVER AND DRIVEN NEW SEAT AND NEW TIRES. I HAVE MANY PICTURES I CAN SHARE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE END RESULTS, JUST HIT ME UP. AGAIN, AMAZING BUILD.
So glad I ran into this video ! My hornet has the floater wheels already but looks like I’ll have to buy the new back rim from gps not sure if they ever came stock with the floater wheels only reason I ask is because my sprocket is just like your original on my floater rim ? Thanks
Great job , my cousin took my hornet but my brother gave me his! Where did you get the Mylar stickers that go around the tubes? I already have the new decal!
We are currently having our minibike restored for my son. We are having trouble finding a match for the paint color. What was the paint color you all used? Thanks!
Evan with the help of all of you guys absolutely nailed it!
Thanks for checking it out Lucas!

Holy crap! My dad bought one in 1974...and then my mother sold it in 1975. We lived over in Paris TX. I was only big enough to ride it once.
Very cool! You’re so close to us.
So glad to see the Hornet built so nice ! I am glad you bought it from me to restore!
Very cool! We appreciate you and glad you got to see the end result.

Awesome Restoration.. That's A Collectors Item, I Would Keep It.. Great Job. Also I Dig The Color
Thanks a ton. We love the color too.
Great build. Great dude. Amazing story.
Sometimes it’s best to be a grower, not a shower.
that's how I felt when I came across my arco. It was a must have for sure.

Absolutely amazing bike. And an amazing story to go with it. Much love to y’all and keep the builds coming! ❤️🤘🏻

@@GoPowerSports I have been trying to reach you guys about my order and when it will be shipped out .
I just sold my same frame in great condition with the bars for like 200 bucks after sitting on marketplace for almost a year 😑
These are pretty sweet frames!
What about the decals? I own one of these and want to restore it
We picked these up from a gentleman named Tim who specializes in K&S Hornets down here in Texas.
Ummm......link? Number?
How can i get ahold of Mr. Tim?@@GoPowerSports
Great job , my cousin took my hornet but my brother gave me his! Where did you get the Mylar stickers that go around the tubes? I already have the new decal!
Thanks for checking out!

We used a 20 Series TAV.
@GoPowerSports do you sell this? What's the part number?
