I think I broke my ATC70 :D

[Dirtcrasher]

I chopped her all up, I'm gonna get that top tube replaced with a 3mm thicker walled piece of tubing. It may be a pound heavier..... The old frame was bent and repaired by a meathead. The front end was so cocked it was noticeable even without a level or magnetic angle finder

This is an old pic but I just got the new PC up and running so I wanted to see how well it would allow attaching files etc etc.......

That rear shock has to weigh 5 pounds and a couple more pounds for mounts etc etc. But, I bet I haven't added more than 10-15 pounds to it yet with a rear disc brake and suspension, plus the thicker top tube (2"s longer than stock).

As soon as I replace that top tube, I'll get it back together and mount up a rear brake caliper and add the master/resi and I'll have to fab up a rear foot activated brake pedal...... Lots to do and then the front suspended front end should be a blast but I'm hoping to shorten 200X forks and Mill my own upper and lower fork mounts.

I'll keep this post updated, I'm just about done getting the MX track back looking and performing well so this is next on the list!

Lets see if the pics work! NOTE - I think I figured it out, the other pics are just pics....... One is me on my 2 year old 1985 200X (at least I had my elbows up) Oh, and YES, THIS is how you bend all the ATC250SX swingarm and axle tube components!!

Man I LOVE that SX launch shot, Steve! Good luck with your build, I'm sure it'll be awesome. Oh & btw, if you need some extra $$$, you could sell me the 200X

thanks guys.... Gazoo, the 200 got sold a year later for 500$ and my 86 netted 600$. NOBODY wanted them back in 1988, including me - ANYONE can punch me in the face about those decisions.......

Yeah, the camera is all fired up, gotta fix it......

The 70 is even further apart now, all chopped up. Reminds me of the show - "SLICED"
