PK Racing ATC70

[Mr. Clean]

Picked up this PK Racing 70 over the weekend. Had to sell one on my non-suspended 70's to get it, but worth it for sure.

Going to be another fun project!! Now I have to finish my A+.

[Vealmonkey]

I think there is one in Maryland! LOL That always was and still is a great trike. It was one of the trikes that made me look for mine. Congrats on picking up a legend. Have fun. Keep us in the loop with lots of pictures please.

[Flyingw]

[Mr. Clean]

Is this the same trike..

Yes it is!! The guy is on Glamisdunes and posted here as well. Very cool photo!!

I will take photos of the progress, it needs quite a bit of work. Part sourcing has already begun.

161654 Here's a pic from my PK file! LOL That's the front door to my living room there in the background. It's nice and snug. LOL I've got issues!!!! :P:

[Mr. Clean]

what are the plans for this one????


You got any big plans for it?

Have not yet decided exactly what I am going to do with it.

Here is where I ended up tonight. Disassembled and ready for a very nice come up from its current state.

This much I know, the yellow and purple is going away and will not return. Outside of that the color wheel is fully in play.

My A+ was built with the frame and motor last, the PK is going to be frame and motor first. I have a TRX70 motor and I plan on doing some mods to it, no Chinese motor will be used in this build. Then I will have the frame powder coated as it appears it is the current coating. Thanks for the pics as well.

:pics::pics:

[Vealmonkey]

Not the trx70 engine! LOL You need to put together a trick little sl or xl70 engine.

[tri-Z ripper]

looks sweet how it sits now!

[Mr. Clean]

looks sweet how it sits now!

Yellow frame no more!!

I do not have enough projects going on so I decided to start on the PK. I blasted the frame and applied epoxy primer and some base silver.

[tecaterob]

Wow 2 great pick ups for sure. The 70 & 500...
Great job

[Daddio]

You west coaster's are so lucky. All of the neat stuff is over there. Cool stuff!!!

[petesatc]

any updates Mr.Clean????

[jb2wheels]

amazing how quickly it deteriorated before Mr Clean got it.

[Ol Deuce]

This PK has my attention that's for sure!!! I wouldn't mind having one in my Barn!!!!

[Mr. Clean]

amazing how quickly it deteriorated before Mr Clean got it.

Hard to say but I think it was stored outside for some time in SoCal. The chrome rims tells the story and the frame was powdercoated and faded pretty bad.


any updates Mr.Clean????

Nothing much to speak of, need to get back out in the garage and get my act together!!

[Mr. Clean]

any updates Mr.Clean????

Finally got some time to work on the PK.

I basically took all the parts from the original trike that were chromed or polished and polished them up with my buffing wheel.

I also got some Xowner rim's and had Kenda tires mounted up on all three corners.

New neck bearings, and hub bearings just need to do the rear carrier bearings. Interesting thing on this PK is the rear carrier adjustment is like a Tri-Z. The only other PK I have seen has the skate board wheels for chain tension and a fixed carrier. Note the last two pics.

Have a rough set of A+ fenders (not pictured) to go on the trike as well as tank that I am doing body work on.

[Mr. Clean]

Some pics from my PK file, looks like you have A+ triples

Do you have pics of the lower triples?

[coolpool]

That looks great so far! It's funny how these little 70's can get our blood flowing.

[Darius1502]

Incredible work! That thing is really coming together! Great job Mr. Clean!

[blue27]

Its looking good!!!

[thestud25]

Do you have length and width measurements on the swing arm?

[socs28]

Can I make a suggestion of going blue seat, painting the tank white and getting the red white and blue wing logo, make it look like the I think 85 200x/350x? I think that was the pinnacle of those trikes look.

[blue27]

Here are some pics of PK triples. I can get more but these are pre-fire pics I had on file and now they are broke and discolored with melted handlebar mounts.

[Dirtcrasher]

Wow, nice! I could make those easy; Wonder if Pat has a set I can measure. Then use XR75/80 and other forks for the bore. I'd make some if I have a set to follow? And some interest.

A large batch of 350X headlight guards is 1st on my list though......
