Previous owner indicated it was a 1979 Honda ATC110 however I am not sure.
I've included pictures.
The number on the frame is US90-2X1197.
There is no tag on the motor below the shift lever for an engine number either.

Is this really a 1979 ATC110?

Frame is a 90, motor could be a 110, check at the base of the cylinder 89cc or 109cc it should say.

It sure looks like a US 90 carb on it with the altitude plunger or what ever Honda called it

Yep after a closer look at the pic, sledcrazy is correct that's a 90 carb.

looks like a hodge podge of about 4 differnt bikes as I think almost all the parts swap between all year of the 90 all years of the 110 and the 84-85 125m

Thanks for the responses.

We got this for free, it does run and would like to make it look "better"

8612m - can you be more specific on what 4 different bikes?

I also noticed the back of the front fender is rubbing on the frame. The fork does not look bent. What is the easiest way to tell if the fork is bent? or is it the wrong fender?

The low/high range lever won't move either - any ideas?

The front tire (maybe all of the tires) look too big. If they're 25", they're too big. They're supposed to be 22". If they're 22", they're way over-inflated.

X2 on the over inflated front tire. That thing looks like a ballon ready to pop!

BMW,
I think what he means by 4 different trikes is.
A u.s. 90 frame and gooseneck.
The fenders are a later year they are plastic and not glass.
Not sure the year of your motor without a serial number but it could also be from a different year.
As 125 said all these parts will interchange with each other but it's not stock by any means and more than likely not a 110 motor. You do have the bones there for a good rider if that's all you're looking for.

bmw1, may not be totally correct but this is what I see.

'72-73 US90 model frame.
Motor is probably original or at least a 90 as the frame front motor mount bolts have not been elongated as the 110 cylinder is longer.
Rear axle assembly is US90 style an would have used balloon tires front and rear.
Can't see a clear pic of rear wheels but what I do see says adapter plates with steel wheels.
Front wheel is one piece steel with a '75 an later 3 bolt axle assembly. Tire over inflated.
Forks could be original as there was a similar red color offered that year, but could be '75 and later.
Front fender looks like a 185 or 200 fender which is why it touches the head.
Rear fender is plastic looks like '79 and newer.

Price was right....

If that is an over inflated 22" tire and not a 25" tire then that thing is dangerous. I'd get the air out of there ASAP. It's probably stretched really bad if that is a 22".

Thanks again for all of the responses. I do appreciate.

It does have 22x11x8 tires all the way around.

The front tire is dry rotted and looks like PO put tubes in all the tires and then over inflated. I will probably get new tires or at a minimum, adjust the air pressure.
