[oneroom42]

2000 is out of my price range for a 70.. But those are very nice.

[oneroom42]

lol! i know what you mean about 2000 being out of your range. im thinking i can build someting for way less but im not sure what it'll look like and if it'll even work. i mean the kit is sweet lookin but its hard to part with the 2 large when said and done my 70 will have way more in it than my 250r. im thinking about it though!!

[bigbadktm]

never seen one of those before, freaking sweet

Damn that's a nice kit, way outta my price for a 70 though.

Nice kit. I dont figure 2k is way out of the price range for what you get. Might be what I need for Brother...... Naaaa he would destroy it too quick. Still don't know how a 2 yo can destroy so much. I spent close to three all together on the barbie 70 for the girls. This would actually be a good kit to convert there's over. But they are getting more interested in Dustin beavers to ride with ole dad anymore.

that is pretty fancy looking, looks like it works good.

Those look to be very nice kits. Here are some pics of my suspended 70's, both A+, one with a 3x4 kit on front. Fun little things, my kids enjoy beating the heck out of them.

When you say kit, it's kind of deceptive. It was a whole new frame with rear suspension and a set of triple trees that would accept the front forks from a small motorcycle, like an sl70. The A+ kit and the PK Racing kit were both made to take the atc70 tank and rear fenders and the atc70 engine. The old A+ and PK Racing kits are easily bringing upwards of $1200 depending on condition and completeness. The A+ kit is mild steel, and the PK kit is a chromoly frame. The kit that your link is too basically provides everything but tank, fenders and engine. There are people who can build you a frame, but the cost most people balk at. The cool stuff costs money. There weren't tons of these old kits produced and very few survive today. The people that own them, like me, enjoy them very much and they tend to be the centerpieces of ones' collection of trikes. One of these frames and an atc70 engine and a sl70 or xl70 parts machine and you had quite an impressive runner. Not many people have ever seen a real suspension 70 in the flesh. I've had 3 and sold one to another member on here, blue27. People think regular 70s are fun, you ought to ride one of these. Now my A+ frame has front and rear disc brakes on it as well as reinforced engine mounts. It's ready.

With that kit you have a new machine. I thinks its awesome with a few parts one could build a new trike. I would love to have a suspended 70! Bit to costly for me.
On another note I regrets buying my second 70 now also. My woman wants a quad for my son. Hes 6 and enjoys the 70 but its tippy for him she says. Now I gotta choose one to sell.

Heres a pic of my project, I found those not long after I started mine and thought [too much] to be honest I wish I had bought one cause mines still not done and with all the parts added up I doubt I saved much, not counting our time

[Mosh]

A buddy of mine has been making frames for these too.
I am not sure if this is his, but I talked to him the other day and it sounds like he has some really cool ideas.

Can these suspended ATC70 frames still be purchased anywhere?

John on here has one with a 190 motor. I hope he doesn't mind me posting the pic... I want one so bad, but I have to finish my projects first.
