    2004 ATC450R needs help

    Here she is so far. Me and a friend have been working on this today. We were wondering if any of you have some advice or opinions on making it better.

    Hehe...anyone want to chop up a $6500 machine???

    Me and ATC Crazy where playing around with the pic all day ive got bug eyed at looking at it anyone have any changes they want to see the forks where a little to much angle on them but they looked worse with less angle. I think its pretty cool tho. I saw one someone else did one time and it looked really good.

    Looks sweet, my only suggestions are changing the fork angle and bringing them up some, the bars look really low.

    how about

    Maybe add the '86 style scoops for the radiatiors, and a bigger diameter front tire.

    Now that you mentioned it smurf it could use some radiator shrouds. I'd say either 85-86 R shrouds or off the newer cr's. The front fender needs to come up some too, closer to the triple tree.

    I would build a custom designed trike and just put the engine in it.

    Thanks for the input guys

    I think we will bring the forks up, add shrouds, shorten the length of the fender and bring it up some, and add a larger front tire. I liked the looks of the shrouds off the CRF bike that the forks came from.

    Funny you should mention...we relocated it to the rear. You can't see it b/c of the muffler...










    Good eyes

    Alright You guys got me working on one, but it probably won't be done for a while (days, maybe even a week or two) because I'm meticulous as hell. If I show it to you guys though, I can guaruntee it'll be awesome.
