    New ride in the stable

    Well I worked out a deal today to trade a trike for a trike. Got rid of my 85 KLT110 for this 79 atc70 and some cash.
    The 70 starts right up, switches through all the gears and the tank is spotless inside. It has wheel spacers on it. Also looks to have the original seat with no rips.
    The only bad things I have seen so far are the rear fender was cracked and replaced and it needs the nut for the headset.
    Did some year 70's come with the red number plate?
    So what do you guys think of this deal?

    Nice little trike. My 1978 ATC70 has the red plate on it. What's up with the front fender? It almost looks like they put it on backwards. I like the wheel spacers too.

    The front fender is on backwards. Not sure why as the frame and forks dont look bent.

    This my forth 70. I got rid of 2 then found this one. The number plate does not seem to be painted. Also It didnt look like the fender was cut. I think someone just liked it that way. The guy I got it from says he has the title for it too. Just forgot to bring.

    Nice. I stopped by Larry's last weekend to pick up a kicker and while talking to him he asked if I was interested in selling my little lt50. My niece wouldn't be too happy if I did that.
