Frame Off Restore

We still have our 125ATC honda three wheeler we got back in 1985 for Christmas. Damn thing still looks new because PoPs would kick our azz if we brought it back looking any different. Had to wash it after every ride. It has been sitting in the garage with the same tires and everything else. Last time I was home back in June I pulled the air filter and it just crumbled in my hand. It needs a complete overhaul too. I also let a friend ride it when I was in High School and he jumped a ditch and it bounce a couple of times and over the handle bars he went(The 125ATC did not have any suspension). The thing that scared the crap out of me was when it came behind him and ran him over. He got up and was soar for a couple days but it was a load off my mind that he did not get hurt real bad.
 
My grandpa had the exact same three wheeler back when they were new - rode it when my bike was broke. That thing is in amazing shape for being 25 years old now.

Looking at that thing you can see why some people thought they would float.
heck i had one of those . had alot of good time on it and yes my would float for sure done it abunch of time's
 
There are still a few of those running around the local use area. These guys have apparently ridden them for years because they go bout as fast and most of the places the quads go. The key looks like lots of body english. Have fun.

All new cables, chain, new rings, valve springs and your typical routine stuff. Still needs some TLC but thought I would post results so far.

You guys are killing me... respect man... it's all about respect. I knew a guy that broke his neck on a ten speed bicycle. I heard about this bad to the bone rocket that proved so unsafe they started governing speed limits of 186

. Heck, even know a few crazier than me that rig it so it would go faster...

I converted a KZ900 into one of these... anyone lucky enough at the Verde River would have seen it explode and burn to the ground on its 2nd outing (fuel line rupture)
 
HAHA! My first wreck was on a 3wheeler! Twisted my "Left" ankle up good! nothing broken. Had to ride my motorcycle home afterwards. Had to use my heel for up and down shifts! I now have what is referred to as a "Trick ankle"! Was fun,but they were dangerous as hell.
 
That was the big cat on the block, I only had the ATC 110. Oh the memories. But i did like my dirt bikes better, Those old ATC's would bite your leg every once in a while. LOL

Looking good.
 
I just fixed the pull start/auto decompresion set up on one of those a few weeks ago for a guy. Years ago we took a 600 ninga and added a atc rear to it. Kept the ninja fairing and all, it looked real mean only it kept popping the chain and I dont remember what happen to it after our big 20-30'runs before breaking.
