    I think I have a problem...

    This has gotten out of hand I think...

    I just picked up the red one. I thought it would be cool to have one of each for a while and this came up for sale for a great price.
    It runs GREAT but needs some suspension and brake attention.
    The green one with a light I've had for a few months and it really needs nothing.
    The green one with green hubs is (I hope) a stator away from being a runner. I'll probably sell it once it's up and running.
    The roller is too far gone to ever be more than a roller.

    The red one is interesting - it would be neat to know the history of it.

    When I got it home for inspection, I noticed the forks it the tank. I thought something was bent but figured out the stops have been cut:

    I also noticed the 22" rear tires actually had some clearance with the low pro fenders. Turns out, the swinger is some type of +2 but not stock. Rear shock link is different, too.

    You don't have a problem; Maybe just a larger storage area is needed
    All our government does is distract us while they steal from us, misspend our tax $ and ruin our country

    If you need more room between the forks and the tank you can make spacers that fit in between the tank and the front mount for both sides that will move the tank back. You can't go back very far because of the frame behind the tank. The Jimmy White Manual tells you how to do it.
    Rides:
    1986 ATC250R (sectional pipe and Klemm Research silencer)
    1986 ATC250R (Desert Bike, WAX-ON seat, Dual Cibie lights, Steering Stabilizer)
    1979 ATC110 (Bandito frame and forks, Turbo wheels, disc braked)
    1982 ATC70 (Lifan manual 125)
    1987 LT80 (piped, widened)

    Oh - I actually have a PDF of the Jimmy White manual and totally missed that. My frame has also been trimmed at the back of the tank. Too bad it doesn't have the aluminum short track tank!

    Oh The Insanity...

    And, to top it off, after selling of my 70s this spring and summer to make room in the garage, I bought these:

    Very rough but very complete. I have the TRX seat in the garage.

    They have the important parts - pull starters, seat pans, etc.
    I think there are 5 or 6 different types of knobbies between the 2 - Ohtsu, Cheng Shin, Carlise, Titan, Duro. None hold air very long.
    The TRX might be a runner but the ATC air cleaner is open so I bet the engine is bad. We'll see.

    And I think that's a "correct" headlight. Has the switch up top and everything.

    These will sit and rot a little more while I put the 86 X back together. I think. We'll see. I think I got the 70 bug again.

    I gotta sell a Tecate first.

    Yeah, having multiple 3-wheelers is a sign of psychological health. Only people in the right mind own them.
