2004 ATC450R needs help

[ATC crazy]

Here she is so far. Me and a friend have been working on this today. We were wondering if any of you have some advice or opinions on making it better.

Hehe...anyone want to chop up a $6500 machine??? :D

[87 250SX]

Me and ATC Crazy where playing around with the pic all day ive got bug eyed at looking at it anyone have any changes they want to see the forks where a little to much angle on them but they looked worse with less angle. I think its pretty cool tho. I saw one someone else did one time and it looked really good.

[4cylinders]

hey, it looks great to me, but it needs more cylinders. :twisted:

[Dynofox]

Looks sweet, my only suggestions are changing the fork angle and bringing them up some, the bars look really low.

[Beer_Smurf]

Maybe add the '86 style scoops for the radiatiors, and a bigger diameter front tire.

[Dynofox]

Now that you mentioned it smurf it could use some radiator shrouds. I'd say either 85-86 R shrouds or off the newer cr's. The front fender needs to come up some too, closer to the triple tree.

[Manny55]

that looks a little wierd lol.

[Aaron2003]

well if it's a 450r you might want to add a +6" swing arm...

[trikerider2oo7]

I would build a custom designed trike and just put the engine in it.

[ATC crazy]

Thanks for the input guys ;)

I think we will bring the forks up, add shrouds, shorten the length of the fender and bring it up some, and add a larger front tire. I liked the looks of the shrouds off the CRF bike that the forks came from.

[Bumb]

need flames coming out the back

[Wickedfinger]

That engine isn't going to last very long without a radiator .... :D

[ATC crazy]

:D Funny you should mention...we relocated it to the rear. You can't see it b/c of the muffler... ;)










Good eyes ;)

[Billy Golightly]

Alright You guys got me working on one, but it probably won't be done for a while (days, maybe even a week or two) because I'm meticulous as hell. If I show it to you guys though, I can guaruntee it'll be awesome.

[nate b]

bigger front tire, longer swingarm, and maybe make it a 2-stroke

[CartmanKXT250]

uhh...that 350X or 200X or whatever with that stupidly heavy and slow old chopper motor needs to melted for scrap!

[x.system]

Needs a 250R front fender, then it should clear the frame when you raise it up.

[Billy Golightly]

I ownz j00 1/\/ PhotoChop!

[ATC crazy]

:shock: Billy...you did a damn fine job on that R.

I think ours turned out good considering that Josh only had 1 day experience w/ PS, and I have never used it before.

[350XXX]

first one looks great, but the second one looks killer. tha first one looks like the whole front end is a little small to me.

[Wickedfinger]

That thing looks awesome Bill. You need to send that into Dirt Wheels immediately!!!!!!! They'll love it.

[ATC crazy]

GREAT idea Wicked....I'm sure they would love it. Hell...they will probably use it in their April issue as an AF joke :-D

[Billy Golightly]

Just sent it now :-)

[Red Rider]

You also need to make the front forks either leading axle or trailing axle.

[Billy Golightly]

I did have the front forks on mine leading, but the tire stuck way to much out from the front fender and it just looked kind of stupid so I made it like how all the old vintage bikes are, just straight under the fork tube.

[Pete]

lmfao, '77 750 engines have 60 hp....I think I'd take the CRF over the 200 lb motor!

[Billy Golightly]

:shock: :D

A person on my forum suggested making a new ATC450R since the TRX is suppose to be out soon, and here's what I whipped up in PhotoShop. Now if we could only get Honda to really make one of these we would be in good shape!

Thanks for sending us that photo of the three-wheeler 450R. It looks very interesting. Would you object to us putting that picture in our magazine?

make the swingarm 2 inches longer and it will look about right.

[ATC crazy]

Aweosme work Billy. I will be lookin for it in an upcoming issue ;) :clap :clap

[Wickedfinger]

Man o Man Bill!!! ... thats what I'm talking about.

[davham]

That is AWESOME!!!!! Makes you wonder how ATC's would look if still produced today.
If you only had 13 grand laying around you could have something very close to that. Be tough to chop two new 450R's(TRX&CRF) in half though.
Great job on the pic, looks like something from a honda add.
Take that pic over to exriders.com and tell them this is coming from Honda next fall since the decree is over. Those little punks will be squirmin'.

[TeCaTe_MaN]

HOW!!!!HoW!??? HOW do you guys do that stuff....oh my god...i could never do something like that...that looks really good, looks like someone went to the dealer and snapped a photo :)

[Dynofox]

I like the yamie blue. 8) It's cool seeing these pics, but kinda sad in a way since they'll never be real. Just think how great one of those ATC 450r's would be!

[markdb420]

I love it and put it on exriders as a real item to rile up some people. Wouldn't it be great?

[TeCaTe_MaN]

[87 250SX]

If the pic works

[87 250SX]

Sorry about the blank post hope the pic works now

[TeCaTe_MaN]

/me thinks if Billy...

too much time in chat??? :D :D :D

[87 250SX]

oops I for go to add the back of the front fender im told the handle bars still look low but the other ones on the 450 R look high so LOL i don’t know just playing around a little.

[350XXX]

do one in orange and one in yellow crazy. those are killer! just wish honda would learn that though. :D i wonder how much a crate motor is gonna cost and what the dimensions are for that motor?

[ATC crazy]

I'm not the one making the pics...My 87SX is. I dont have PS right now... :(

[davham]

You ruined the joke over there before it even had a chance to begin......

LOOKS SWEET!! HondaATC

i agree with dillio, swingarm needs a little extension

[Pete]

and 3 more cylinders.

[Cheap250]

:shock: :clap
The best photochop i have ever seen

[smokinp]

I like it...but i think that the front tire is too small

[trikerider2oo7]

Put a bigger front tire and extend the swinger a lil bit and it'll look awesome.

[hondatrikesrule22]

Now if someone will use the photochop to turn a banshee into a 3-wheeler... :twisted:

This has already been done in real life. Its in Dirtwheels too....but I dont feel like going through my 500 issues to look for it now :rolleyes: :D

[ATC crazy]

Sorry to bring up an old post....but I found that TRI-Z Banshee...

*EDIT*

If I remember right, its a 1988 Banshee with a '86 TRI-Z front end on it. Sweet huh? :twisted:

[trikerider2oo7]

That would make a great drag bike with it being long and all.
