First off hi to everyone, I recently brought a 1985 Honda atc70 in good running condition but a little rough round the edges for £140 which i have taken apart and now slowly cleaning, painting and rebuilding, Only downside was a slightly bent frame which i understand is very common so i am adding a backbone as seen in another post. (SEE PICS) after owning this trike for around a week i already found myself feeling the need for more..:wondering. So i found a ATC110 for £150 in running condition again a little rough around the edges but seems to smoke and burn oil, Any Ideas?? I am wondering weather to make the 110 like original or mod it? Again any ideas would be very appreciated. Please feel free to comment. Thanks Dave.154162154163154164154165154166154167154168154 169154170154171

not a bad little 70 project you picked up. :beer been want to get an 85 myself for awhile now.
don't just add a frame brace, if you haven't seen it there's a fix for straightening out the 70. sorry can't seem to find the thread on it right now though.

the 110 could use a gasket set at the least, top end refresh/rebuild at the most i'd say. both look pretty darn good for the price IMO. :beer

Cool. So they had trikes overseas as well!

Actually, I remember the super gran show from the 80s and she rode a first gen 250r!
