Xr and crf70 conversion to trike

[KASEY]

OK THE 450 IS DONE,, so its time to do a couple of suspension 70's. i have a 2004 crf and a 2000 xr70 frames i am going to build into a 3 wheeler conversion. i am going to do an ground up conversion here, not on facebook . that way it wont get buried and lost in the blackhole . these both will have extended frames and extended swingarms. not going for a 70 look a like going for more room and rider comfort. at this time i know one will have a 140 pirahana not sure about the other, here is a few before picts.you can see i cleaned off one frame a little , in also opened up the swingarm pivot bolt hole as the stock location is not in the sweet spot, also going to cut the rake back about 4 degrees to a better place for a trike.

steve's is done too ,, yellow was done last year,, I will do a build thread on his 450 next ,,,

ok here is a 2.5 inch extension that is going to be in both frames,, it does 2 things ,, it gives a little more room and it raises the headtube to give a little more length for the front forks... also made a cut on the neck to decrease the amount of rake,, going with a slight decrease to speed up the steering a little, on my motor mount I setup the motor level where I want it when its setting on tires. so I will build and adjust the suspension to keep the exact position,

Hey Rich, any idea how much rake you took out of the head set???

[KASEY]

first amount was 3 degrees when I install the forks I will see if that is going to be enough,,,

[Yamada]

Nice! Your build thread are always interesting.

looks perfect .....is it the same rake as the A+ you got???

[ATC-Eric]

Sweet start.

[KASEY]

looks perfect .....is it the same rake as the A+ you got???

this will have a few degrees more than an A+ they wer exactly the same as an ATC70 and that is a little too steep for a suspension build,
