That will be a great gift for your son. I picked up a really clean 85 atc70 last year. Then hooked my good friend up with it. He wanted to give it to his son for xmas. You will have to post up a pick when he gets the trike.

First off, thanks for the compliments. To answer the questions, my son is 5, the new seat pan came from dratv.com for 40 bucks (they have alot of new 70 parts) and I will definately post some pics up here after he "opens it up." This lil thing is so easy and quick to work with, I wish I had several more. They are alot of fun especially if its for someone like my lil boy who always puts a smile on my face and is just awesome. He will most definately have a ear to ear grin. Thanks once again everyone.

Well after a couple speed bumps, I got the 70 finished. Its needs a bath before xmas morning, but I "needed" (lol) to take it for a spin to check everything out. My neighbors got a kick out of me riding this thing around our apartment complex, lol. Everything works great, no smoke, plenty of power, brakes adjusted, and carb set correct. Tye only thing left is the grips. I figured that I would let my son help with the finishing touches with it. http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/900/imag0449n.jpg

Luckily I fixed the carb issue just minutes before gift opening time. He opened his grips (to help dad install them) and threw his helmet on. His trusty steed was sitting outside under a large bag. Once he had seen it, he says, "thats my new 3 wheeler!" I was just as excited as he was for him to start riding with me. He hopped on and I started to get nervous as I explained everything to him and started it up. Following him like a cat on a mouse, he rode well. Once we entered into the front yard he rode parallel with the fronch porch not seeing the large rock. He hits it with the left tire making the trike start to roll over. I quickly grabbed the trike and helped him out. Needless to say, he was done for a while, but wants to ride tomorrow. http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/6337/imag0516x.jpg I have video of all this, but not sure how to upload it.

You'll be ready for that 88cc kit soon enough! LOL What did you end up doing to fix the carb? Glad he likes the trike, but then, what kid wouldn't . LOL

Lol, I used Gorilla Glue Epoxy to fix it. It still tends to leak gas from the bowl, but runs fine.
