sold off the z50 and got to thinking kts time to clean up the shed. pulled the white tank 70 out, new fuel lines, found a new petcock, pumped up the tires and buzzed it around the back yard! so today dragged the red tank 70 out, new fuel lines and it don't start, pull the carb, clean the jets, new fuel lines and it runs, pump up the tires and front tire is junk. Pop the tire off, replace the tire with the spares in the shed, buzz it around the back yard.
wash them both down and now I decided its probably not worth selling. Around here, what ever I sell it for, its going to cost me at least 50% more to buy another one if I want another 70.
anyway, these are both 85s with the upshift 4 speed. the fenders are fiberglass, bought off eBay about 10 years ago. picked these things up when you could buy running 70s for 200 bucks all day. jim
(yes, I front fender is backwards. )

decided to toss the trikes online for trade. I was hoping for a old Chevy roller project, like a el Camino since they really don't sell very well around here. What I did get was a CT70 for the red tank atc. The 70 I kept probably needs the points set, I sort of remember messing with the points years ago. it runs but doesn't have the get up and go like the red did. So got the bike, ordered the broken lights for the thing, while I was ordering stuff, got the flywheel tool and a new kill switch for the atc. jim
