ATC 70 NYPD police trike

[42F67N]

A few pics of my lil atc 70 nypd police trike its not finished i still have to get some more decals for the rear plastics made that say police and dial 911 and a few other things and i have to recover the seat i bought off ebay,i used por 15 last night on the tank and it seems to cover better then kreem which ive used in the past,im also gonna maybe add a headlight and red and blue lights to the front end.

This is what it did look like

That looks good compared to what it was. Awesome job so far! *looks away and snickers* :D *then bursts out laughing* HA HA HA lol police and trikes lol ha ha ah :lol: . But seriously nice job.

I think that's great. There should be more 'theme' based custom stuff like this! Great job Man.

I've used Kreem a lot on custom bikes in the past. I was thinking of using POR15 on my 70 as it needs lining with something. They do make a tank lining kit, am I right?

If this is what you used, do you recommend it? Gotta be an easier process than the 3 stage Kreem deal. What was involved?

Thanks.

Looks great, but please tell me you didnt paint over the original fenders.

[OldManDM]

looks that way from the red showing on top where the seat will be in the second pic......
but i doubt there`s anybody selling black fenders for the 70 either....... :wondering

Looks great. Now all you have to do is to convince the NYPD police chief to buy 70 of them to patrol Central Park.

[monster 84r]

nice! haha i know this is outrageous but im gonna have to ask, is there a place for a sinen :twisted: hahahaha that thing is nice. a big improvement, really original too! good job.

[gvmc45]

youll need a siren and light if you intend to pull anyone over and dont forget a shotgun holder and larger front sprocket for high speed pursuits.but good progress so far.

[42F67N]

With the por 15 all i did was buy there tank liner and sand blast the inside of the tank they do sell a kit that has 2 or 3 steps but all the are is preping the tank so the liner sticks if * can blast it * dont need the first 2 steps.

Im gonna add some red and blue lights and some other things like the dial 911 and "to protect and serve? i just have a built a few atc 70s and wanted to be original with this obne and yes i did paint the red fenders with fusion paint ive used it in the past on plastics and it holds up great.

You sure do have a thing for 70's don't you? I do to they are just so fun and tiny. Great to zip around the property on. I see you are working on a suspended 70 frame, have you had any progress? If so I would love to see some pics as I have been doing some research on the same thing. but your current 70 looks killer. Some of those stobe under body neon things would look cool for red and blu lights.

[42F67N]

The suspended 70 frame is one i modded to fit a 125m i have messed around and tried to fab up a swingarm from scratch but its tough ,im thinking about trying to use a swinger from another quad maybe a small kids quad i just havent got around to it yet.

And yes i love 70s there awesome for playing around the house

[90nut]

I have toyed with using an after market xr 50 swing arm but I havent done any measuring or to in depth thinking on it until I figure out what forks I use. What have you got for forks?

[trikerider2oo7]

looks good 42f...i like it...i made this up...thought it looked kinda cool:


btw...do you still got them pocketbikes you used to talk about on cpc? i got one a couple weeks ago. its a harley lookin one, 4stroke, 4speed, auto clutch, goes like 40mph. its pretty fun to ride around on

[42F67N]

Thats kinda the idea i had for the back end ceppt i was gonna put police in the middle and "to protect" on one side and "to serve " on the other.


as far as forks all i got is stock ones for now i do alot of building of that 70 on paper when im at the beach trying to come up with diffrent ideas i was thinking like a set of yama bw 80 forks ? i dunno.

I sold the pocketbikes because i crashed on my dirtbike and messed my knee up and it hurt to much to bend my knees to ride them :( all i kept was one front wheel for a wheelie bar idea i had lol

Hey 42F, If you ever need to take measurements of a suspenion 70, let me know. I have both an A-Plus and PK suspension 70. I haven't gotten around to getting them running yet though. The A-Plus suspenions 70 is a steel frame and the PK is a chromemoly frame and both are put together differently. I have a brand new aftermarket 110 engine, not a lifan though, and I need a wiring diagram and I think I'm missing the main wiring harness. I don't have an engine for the PK yet. I thought it would be really cool with one of those australian 200x special engines, but I don't know if we could get any sent to the states.

[42F67N]

Vealmoney have any pictures of them suspension 70s?

[Vealmonkey]

Not on digital right now, my PK frame was posted on glamisdunes and there is another member on here that has the A-Plus frame suspension. The PK just has an anodized chromemoly frame which is cool, but the Aplus frame is just painted black, not too cool. My PK frame is just like the one for the trike "mini me" on glamis dunes. What is cool about the Aplus frame is, the name Aplus is etched into the top triple tree. The Aplus frame has 4 seperate engine mounts that branch off from a central bent tube where the PK frame has 2 bent plates with 2 holes in each plate that come off the central bent frame. Both frames are longer than a stock atc 70, so they could accomodate longer engines, strokers if you would use that term. But I found out the hard way that an atc110 engine that has the high-lo gearbox hits the swingarm on both models. You would either have to use aftermarket engines or some type of 90cc engine like the st90(I think that is the engine without the hi-lo box). Howdy has that magazine project 90 that doesn't have the hi-lo box, but I don't know how it originated, whether it was cut off somehow or they used another set of cases to start with. The 90's could be stroked and bored out past 125ccs', I heard somewhere around 185ccs'. I also know greenhuman from australia has modified 200x engines to fit into an atc70 frame and that would be a dream engine for the PK frame! The only drawback is the rear brake. I have been hoping that someone might come up with a disc brake that would fit an atc70, and I remember somebody on the board mentioning his friend had come up with something of a disc brake for a 70. I know they had them for the other trikes aftermarket wise. I've just never seen one in person to even know where to start to engineer one.

At the Glamis 70 section look under "#73 Jc" subject number and the first picture you see is of my PK frame as it was listed on ebay. I think the other board member that has the Aplus frame is HRC200x, and I think the Aplus 70 is his avatar. Oh, I was also the high bidder on your 70/90 on ebay, but nobody bid against me and it only went up into the $300 dollar range. I picked up the Aplus 70 from a member in Tennessee and I will have to check, but I think he had pictures posted on here when he had it for sale. I drove down to get it and bring it back to MD, and made a weeks' vacation in Nashville to pick it up. I also have a blue 83 atc70 with less than cherry plastic, but a nice tank, which I bought the dratv blue fenders for that don't match, which I might use on one of the suspension 70's. I'm always keeping an eye out for original honda blue fenders for it, wishful thinking, eh?

[willcamach]

pretty cool idea . But Arent NYPD patrol cars blue and white??? i'm not trying to be mean or anything but i know there are blue plastics for the 70 and you could have saved your red plastics. either way your idea is cool and original and im sure once you add the lights and all it will be hot. :TrikesOwn

I looked around on the net and found baby blue nypd cars white nypd cars and a picture of a black swat truck that was nypd i figured since nypd dosent have a "police trike" i could pretty much go any route i wanted to,my orginal idea was going to be a nypd police parks and recreation trike so i thought the black would fit the theme.

The original red plastics were scratched up and im trying to build this one cheap my last 70 i bought 140 bucks wortha plastic from dratv had the bike all cherry mint and wounldnt ride the damn thing outta fear of messing up all my work ,i wanna be able to ride this lil 70 and not worry to much about it.

[Wickedfinger]

Not a nit pick by anymeans, because I think the trike looks cool - but - it looks to me like those forks are bent too far back?. Maybe at the stem?. I also agree with Gvmc45 - lights and a siren would be trick. Heres a pic of mine.

[42F67N]

look pretty straight to me but even if they were bent this is a budget build lol so it dont matter i just wanted to build a beater 70 to ride around the house and play in the snow on when it starts snowing again :)

I like it! I think it would be cool if you could find a couple of real NYPD badges (or good knock offs) and incorperate them in to the design some how. Unique idea, keep up the good work.
