It looks good. By the way that 70 with the cut fenders is mine. I've changed the paint a little. View attachment 171484

That thing is so sweet man. Did you build the swinger yourself?

 

[switchblade]

Yep the swingarm,triple clamps, frame, and turbo setup.

 

[ugottalovewagner]

do you have the capacity to make more? how much would it cost for a swing arm like that?

 

[switchblade]

I wish I could but I don't have access to a machine shop any more.

getting ready to start working on disc brakes front and back, Should be a fun little challenge

 

[switchblade]

I have done several rear disc brake conversions but I have attempted any front brakes. Post some pics when your done.

 

[ugottalovewagner]

Will do, I am using a 6 inch rotor and caliper from the front of Yamaha Banshee that I had kicking around. Spanglers makes a 4 bolt disc brake front hub that should work perfect with the Marzocchi forks and a 200mm Formula disc brake setup that came with the forks. The only tricky part might be spacing. IT sucks you have to basically just buy some of the parts and hope they work correctly.

I have also been stalking your thread! I think the master cylinder I have is from A kx65, ALL tabbed and ready to rock~!

Looking good, your making nice progress on that suspended 70. love the update progress.

Have you been able to get much riding time on it yet? Just wondering how the rear suspension is working out for you so far. Many others seem to make the rear swing arm very long that I fear the trike will get tippy and the turning maneuverability would suffer. Yours looks proportionally very nice!

I honestly have nowhere to ride. I live in the middle of the city and am taking nursing school full time. I have a 106 BBR superpro motor that I will be installing in the 70 here in a few weeks. That should bring it to life a little bit

That motor should help wake that trike up nicely. Last month I added a 114cc cylinder, race head, cam, high compression piston and ported the head in one of my 70's and it's awesome now. Pulls the front wheel up in first, second and third easily. With a tug on the bars it will wheelie in 4th gear too, kind of scary on a hardtail actually. Lots of low end torque but the top end powerband comes on like a two stroke now where before it would fall flat above about 6000 RPMs. SMOOTH power thats easy and fun to ride, not brutal and angry like my 150cc engine is. You are going to love the upgraded engine!
