    ^ YOU GUYS - Tell ME, JASON,SWIGIN and MANY OTHERS and we'll fabricate whatever you want.

    BUT, there is almost never enough demand in this economy for anyone to tool up most of the time. I can't have 5000$ worth of Machine Shop equipment and make 10$ an hour......

    Anyhow, I'm sure you found steel to be a bit easier. Aluminum is not very forgiving and like you said, not easy to weld!

    Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

    cool. I tune my 8 yr old daughters 70 from time to time. I wish i had the time and money to build a 70 like that for her, for now I am building a 1986 R for her when she gets older. Of course daddy is going to be keeping it lubed and warm for her till she is ready. Wow? and hey?, why don't you guys spend time building more seriouse Trikes??? Not to take away from the awe of a suspended 70 though its coooooool.

    Thanks for all the comments.

    I have a ATC110 as well but for fun the 70 wins every time.

    Today I got the new wider front axle back from the engineers and installed, along with the handlebars and risers.
    Hope to have her running tomorrow.





    The string's there to hold the back down in the right stance, I need to move the bottom shock mount back a bit.

    Just curious I wanna do a suspendy 70 after a project or two more and I'm wondering what is everyone else do for triples? Does everyone make there own or does some bike out there fit perfect? Sorry to steal on a thread. I am watching this build and it is coming out beautifully. I just don't want to make my own triples if I don't have to... Thanks..

    Triples are the most difficult part of the whole project. If you are going for inverted forks then you have no option but to make them or get them made. If your going to use normal forks then there are a quite a few different bikes you can probably use the triples from, most would require some adaptation though.

    Hoped to get her running today but hit a few snags. The atc70 foot rest clashed with the pit bike frame which has a built in mounting for the 2 rear foot rest bolt holes, so I had to work something out without weakening anything - eventually by cutting a couple of slots and lots of wiggling I got them to go together.





    Neither the atc70 or atc110 manifolds I have fit with the new frame - can anyone suggest one that might fit this or a work around?



    Also I was hoping my spare 110 chain would fit with the extra length but its 3 or 4 links short, so I might have to borrow a few link from my 110 for a while...

    Have you thought about chain tension with that much slope on the swing arm?
    4 wheel's a bad deal
