ATC 90 Bandito Buildup

[tahiti429]

Here is the first of the 10 requisite posts. Let me introduce mysef. I have a couple of ATC 90s and I am in the process of building one with a Bandito frame and a 108cc big bore kit. I have done the body work and paint on the frame, fenders, tank, and forks. The paint and fiberglass work on the fenders turned out awesome. I will see if i can figure out how to post some pics.135421

I pulled the donor motor apart and I was stoked to find it has a 54mm piston with a big dome and a web #98 cam. The cylinder looks to be in great shape as is the cam. One of the rings was broken so looks like Im going to have to find a new ring set.

Very nice! Looks incredible. Are those new tank/fenders or did you restore the ones you had? Good job! Thanks for sharing:beer

[tahiti429]

Belive it or not, they are the green ones. The fenders were in good shape for the most part. No major cracks, just badly weathered. I filled some holes someone had drilled for snaps, i guess for vinyl fender covers. Kinda like a bra on the front of a car I guess. The tank is actually a 110 tank that had a hole that i welded up and bondoed. It turned out alot better than I thought it would.

I bought the Bandito frame from Lardog. He helped me set up the rear axle with new bearings, seals and brake shoes. Couldn't have done it without him.

good job! looking very good. im in the proccess of bringing an 1977 Atc 90 back to life, though im not going to do a build like you!

[tahiti429]

Thanks. Are you going to build yours stock?

[ytm200steve]

wow i wish i could make something that nice! keep up the good work.

Thanks. Are you going to build yours stock?
I am doing mine as stock frame. though i have camoed the fenders with mossy oak cloth tape (pretty much high quality camouflage duct tape). Planning on small mods like 110 carb, maybe a high performance cam, just a few little things like that.

Thanks for the complement. It only takes time. The paint i used is rustolem safety red, available at any Lowes or Home Depot.

Sounds like fun. You cant go wrong with a 90.

[jsmay]

so, you painted it with cans? it looks great!

[tblumer]

That safety red rustoleum is a real good match to the honda red, I used it for my 90's forks and headlight shell

[ytm200steve]

i would have never guessed that was spray paint:beer

This was the stuff I used. The Rustoleum came in quart cans. It was easy to use, just thin 10-15% with acetone and spray using detail gun. I dont think cans would have turned out as good. Cans dont put out the volume a spray gun does. I did however use Rustoleum silver metallic for the clutch cover and the side cover. I think it turned out great.

Here is the clutch and side cover. I am replacing all of the phillips head screws with stainless allen head buttons. What do you think?
