New project ALT 50

[matgod]

My brother picked this up today, possibly going to get the full restoration, Most Parts are there, frames a little bent near the axle and plastics are pretty well rubbish. Does anybody no were the best place is for OEM or aftermarket plastics are for these?

Awesome nice to see more of them. It was just a few years ago thet the rear fenders were discontinued. The fronts are made of unobtanium. The lt50 quad is mostly the same parts. Call the dealers in your area to find leftover rear plastics. Good luck on the front.

Thanks Hoosier, would i be correct in saying that the LT 50 rear fender is interchangeable?

[hoosierlogger]

Yes, it is the same thing.

eBay will have most parts that he'll need.
I just finished a full restoration of a ALT and bought all the parts I need for a restoration of an LT and I ordered them here http://www.cmsnl.com/suzuki-lt50-198...886/partslist/
Might pay a little more with the shipping/fees but I liked the fact that they were original parts and I only had to make one order.

Thanks for the info Latty, are the LT fuel tanks and seats also iterchangable, its an 9/82 model D, looking at parts they seem to be the same but im not 100% sure on them if anyone has specific details on what items, ie, tank, seat, rear fender fit it would be much appreciated, thanks

[Latty]

No problem. Yes the tank and seat are the same as well.

Trike is getting rebuilt at the moment, Had a bit of spare time so tried to clean up the fenders a bit, however we have ordered a new rear fender and seat.
I had the front number plate plastic welded, although this isnt perfect i will use it until i can find something better.

Hi guys just an update on the rebuild, its coming along nicely, engine goes in tommorrow. As usual Paul from PMR restorations is doing a great job.
New rear fender and seat are also on the way. If anyone would part with a front fender that would be amasing.

i gave up on plastics and used honda, was very cheap and looks great imo

Update on the ALT, Everything is pretty much done now, the petrol tank has not had anything done to it so am unsure if i will completely restore it. Front fender has been made useable, and we put a new seat on it then put the aftermarket repro seat cover on it. Its a great little trike.

This make me want to do our alt 50 but alas Ive got to many other bikes and this one actually belongs to my brother. I am not completely sure but I believe the front fender off of a Yamaha tri zinger will fit. It will look a bit different but at least it will not be cracked.

Nice looking rig, good job!

Hello, your bike looks great! I'm in the process of restoring my ALT50 and was wondering what product you used to weld the plastic for the front fender? I'm in the process of installing new rear wheel bearings, then will make my way to the rest of the machine (engine, OEM seat cover, rear fender, wheels, etc).

Thanks
