canadian model came with reflecters eh?

wonder why? not like honda equipped them with lights.

 

Good find. Looks like a Maier aftermarket front fender? How's the quality compared to the stock OEM plastic? Enjoy!

I have a brand new Maier fender set for it. The front fender is a Maier and it is slightly different in shape than the original fender and sits higher. The Rear one is a little more flimsy than the original Honda back fender and is not as strongly reinforced as the original. I have a back fender decal coming so when I get it I will install the back fender and snap some pics.

Ernesto......Yes the Canadian version came with reflectors on the forks and rear grab bar. Not sure why. The ones on my ATC are not original. They are reflectors for ZB front forks in red.

what are your plans for this trike

 

what are your plans for this trike

Going to keep it stock for a while. I am going to do a CDI conversion on it and get rid of the points. Don't want to make it to nice because it is going to see mud and snow. I also like the Douglas rims & holeshot tires you can get for the ATC 70. This may be next.

if your gonna be going through mud and snow i wouldn't keep it stock, these things are pretty gutless stock

 

I picked up this 1982 ATC70 a month ago. Very fun machine. It will be a ton of fun in the winter.The 4 DOWN trans is hard to get used to. It came with a set of wheelie bars.

I have the back decal coming.

Very nice find! Looks to be in great shape. But that is not a wheelie bar, it's a "grab bar". But I kind of get the impression that you were joking.

The quality of Maier plastics sucks! It is so flimsy, dull, and the colors are no where near as vibrant as OEM. It's just that Maier is a lot cheaper.

 

Here is a pic of the ATC with the home made wheelie bar.

I am used to riding a stock ZB (very gutless) and with the extra gear and 70cc it feels like it has twice the power of a ZB. It is okay for now....But, 88cc would be a great upgrade.

Better pic of the wheelie bar. Remove the grab bar and it works well.

I know the 1982 did not have the bar pad but I picked one up in good shape. You have to change the bar clamps too.

tmas

 

Wow nice pick up!! That thing is clean. Have big fun!

 

Nice trike tmas.

 

Thanks guys. The pad is actually upside down in the above pics. Here is the way is should be. Surprised Z didn't notice. The bar clamps are stamped L & R.

Today I put a brand new Honda throttle cable, carburetor and air box. The NOS carb was from dratv $111. Woke the engine right up. Honda still stocks the throttle cable and the air cleaner housing which I purchased brand new, some of the rubbers in the old air filter housing had suffered dry rot. I have to say it runs perfect now after having a few carb issues.

I find most ATC carbs are missing the choke cap cover.

I have a 1982 ATC manual and this is the options page. How hard are these to find?

Cool bike tmas. I have always wanted an ATC70. I just can't find one locally.

 

tmas, i've never seen the optional mud guards before.

I would imagine they are very hard to come by. They look neat.

I bought this ATC off a good buddy who is a Honda freak. A few guys on this forum know him... He owned it for 10 years and didnt know it had a four speed.?. It just took me a long wait to get it off him. He Kreemed the tank 10 years ago. Still no problem.

I also cleaned up the rusted axle tubes.

 

My next problem will be getting a seat cover that is very close to original. The seat has a few rips. It has the sewn in pattern on the top.

tmas

This is a cover on ebay that I am looking at.

sweet man!

 

Anyone from the 3-wheeler era has to enjoy a site like this. My first ride was an ATC70 back when I was 4. Gotta love em.

 

I put the rear decal on. Guy who made it does excellent work.

What's the top speed on that thing, about 30mph? Also, looks like you're planning on keeping it stock? I would, and just pretty her up nice and good with as many new (old) stock parts as I could get my hands on. Looks like a lot of fun.
