yea it's a MESS. With what i have into it i think i'll be able to get it up and running in pretty good shape for about what an atc70 sells for now days. I think i might go all the way and get everything re-plated like the axle, hubs, etc.. we'll see. but im definately not letting it go anywhere

sandblast the frame, try to take the rusted bolts out without breaking them, then start a frame up restore

**dizasterzrfun69** · 02-13-2008, 09:50 PM

i think the frame is pretty well trashed, its got angle iron welded on it in one spot and some other cobbled up stuff. it uses the kx dirtbike frame though. The swinger also has some cracks in it that will have to be repaired. I might see about getting a duplicate swinger made. i didnt see the swinger was cracked until i got it home, oh well.

I went to the dealership yesterday to see if they could tell me what the frame was with the vin. he said it's an 84 and thats all he could tell me. I said "dam" and then decided to start looking for info. I've been looking and it appears that it is in fact an 84 but its a kx80 (originally thought it was a kx60). it uses the 84 kx80 front forks, rotor, and caliper. The rear brakes on the 84 kx80 is drum and on this conversion it's disc. I'm not sure what rear brakes were used but the rear master is "enginetics" which is commonly used on race-karts. We have a local karting shop in town so i think i'm going to take it in there and see if they recognize any of the rear end.

This is kinda fun, it's making my head hurt but its fun.

That looks like a chromoly swinger. Is the axle hollow? Hi Performance Atc was known for their hollow axles. I have one on my rd350 powered frame. I know there were 4 wheeled kx60 and kx80 conversions. I had to work over due to an ice storm last night, so I haven't had much of a chance to check my Hi Performance Atc Catalog. What about it blue27? I think there was a kx trike conversion in that catalog.
