I finally found a Honda ATC 70 that wasn't to badly beaten and a reasonable price. Actually it was a package deal for the 85 Atc and the 86 TRX. Both run but they need a carb rebuild in the worse way. I gotta track down a new front fender for the ATC. Both came with titles as well.

Looks like a decent pair, you lucked out. I'm going to assume the ATC 70 has a bent frame hence the chopped front fender. Very common and easy to fix. Great find!

Wow, nice. It's nice to get a trike that isn't in need of an overhaul.

How can I check to see if the frame is bent? There are no dents in the tank from the forks.

The first sign of a bent frame is the front fender hitting the engine. It appears that on yours someone has cut off that part of the fender. Most likely because it was rubbing against the engine. Its a shame because the frames are super easy to fix. Just take the tank off and lay a strait edge(I use the ruler from my combination square) along the top of the frame. It should be strait.

Thanks, I had to drive to LA to get them from Vegas. It was a 10 hour round trip. But I think it was worth it.
