Honda ATC Project - VIDEOS

My uncle had one of the ATC250R's, and it scared the curse word outta me!!!

**Major Project update**

I've decided to take the ATC70 to the next level.

This weekend should see the 90cc piston, barrel and head on the 70cc gearbox, giving some much needed extra power.

I also saw these 3 pictures on an American 3-Wheeler site

The top frame in this pic is the standard ATC70
The bottom is a 1980's aftermarket A+ Frame (very rare and expensive)


This pic show the A+ frame next to a modern Pitbike frame


Do you see where i'm going with this?

If not, how's this? An ATC70 with a pitbike frame giving front/rear suspension


Seeing how reletively easy this is, i've just bought this lot off the mighty 'bay


There's some stuff in there I don't need, like the tank, but its got an ideal rear swingarm with large plates at the rear I can adapt to house the axle bearings, also there's a brand new shocker, brand new frame and brand new chain!

How much you ask... £20 to you sir!

When it all arrives i'll post pics of the progress! I'm only going for rear suspension at the min, but a set of pitbike forks and some custom yokes will see a sprung front end with a disk brake!

Awesomeness !!!!

Yeah, you have to use a pitbike stem and custom yokes



Just ordered a load of stuff from a Go-Kart supplier

I'm going for a 40mm axle so i know its strong (the original is 25mm i think)

These are the bearings, they have lock nuts to locate the axle


They sit in these simple sandwhich plate whichs makes mounting them so easy


These are the hubs, again, they just locate on the axle keyway


I've got 2 of these coming, 1 for the brake rotor and 1 for the sprocket


The rotor and sprocket just bolt onto the above carriers, making gear ratio tuning easy


Last is a pic of how it all goes together, granted this pic is a very expensive kart, mine will of coure look a little more Heath Robinson!
