Pics of my 110 project

[mnicho14]

I am hoping to tear this thing down completely this weekend and repaint if the wife dosn't come up with some huge ass "To Do List"!

[mnicho14]

a few more...

[mnicho14]

The price was right... Zero dollars. I'm looking forward to getting her on the trails.

[mnicho14]

Can anyone tell me if there is a different style exhaust I can go with and I would also like to take my time restoring her (this is my first ever off road bike of any kind) is there any options with a 110 for upgrades .. alot of chrome would look good. I have a feeling I will be collecting older trikes and rebuilding them over the next few years.

There's several out there.Seems like some of them(bassani and pk I think) mounted to the side instead of in the middle which gave it a straighter pipe.Check ebay. If you want a new one,Cobra is good.Not sure if they have it for the 110,but they should.
Post some pics as you progress.

[mnicho14]

Thanks 83200e... Hope to get some updated pics early next week.

Thanks, everyone has been pretty helpful.
One question... does the gas cap have any functionability or will any gas cap that fits work?
Thanks again

[TrikerR]

on my 110 the little off/on switch doesnt do anything

[lilatv]

Well the cap has to have the ability to breathe, otherwise it creates a suction in the tank and the gas won't feed the carb properly.

[mnicho14]

There was no cap on mine when I picked her up. What is the on / off switch for anyhow... I had read something about that before.
Thanks

[trikerider2oo7]

nice find...i hear cobra's are good pipes...dennis kirk has them for some trikes but im not sure which ones

[mnicho14]

Colors I am thinking about using to repaint the bike....

Original Red...
Camo..
or Tennessee Orange

[TrikerR]

yea on the cap there is a little switch, i think whats meant to happen is it locks the cap on...but mines all seized up.
i reackon the orange would look killer, mines gunna be blue and black

[lilatv]

I used the krylon fusion "red pepper" (made specifically for plastic). that someone on this site suggested and it looks real good and close to the honda red. One of these days I will get a camera and take a picture or two. later

[83185s]

the cap is for the tank to breath...if u turn it off it will go for a bit but then die cause it isnt getting any gas to the carb from the suction...u only turn it off it trailprotrailpro trike is not running...and if u tip over run p and turn it off...otherwise it will leak and can cause a fire...its happend to my friend and it doesnt look pretty afterwards

I got a rare race frame for it and a super trapp pipe racing pipe to the frame is a 2inch extended bandito frame

[mnicho14]

Here is an update... Going well so far. Except the second coat of paint went on a little wet. The clear coat made it look alot better.

[lilatv]

Looks good, So what paint did you end up using?

[mnicho14]

Krylon Cherry Red for the tank and forks and headlamp. Krylon glossy black for the frame and Krylon Crome for the ring around the headlamp. I forget the actual name for the fenders but it was a paint for plastic. Can't remember the shade of red either.

[lilatv]

The krylon is great...I really like how the spray was a fine fan pattern, very easy to lay down. What did you use for clear?

[mnicho14]

I believe that was a Krylon clear coat also. I bought alot of paint this last week but I didn't buy all the same brand. I could be mistaken. I will check tonight.

[mnicho14]

The chrome looked real nice. I am thinking about painting the rims chrome also.

[mnicho14]

I am a little stumped on what I should do for the handle bars and tail lite bracket. They are both scuffed and a little rusty. any recomendations?

[lilatv]

Well the handle bars on the 70 that I freshened up were rusted all to hell. I took a 3M paint and rust remover pad...it works, stuck it in a drill and went at it, once it was down to a fine rust spotted look (if that makes sense) I sprayed it with rustoleum clear, the rust hasn't grown since and its been a couple months of humid weather, but it has been stored inside.

You could always grind it down with the 3M pad and shoot it with rust converter, let it dry fully then sand and shoot with the chrome paint....thats how I did the wheels on the 70...ran out of rust converter and wanted to be done with it or I would have done the same to the handlebars...may still do it but I haven't felt inspired to mess with it lately.

Lemme know what brand clear you used, I would appreciate it, I tested rustoluem clear on the krylon paint and it turned yellow and did not mix well, so if krylon makes clear I would like to get it, I checked their website and it wasn't and option so I just assumed they didn't make it. later

[mnicho14]

Thanks for the tip. I will start that this evening. I will let you know what clear coat I used. Thanks

[lilatv]

I better add that the 3m rust and paint remover pad will scratch the metal slightly, very fine scratches at that. I just went across the entire thing and it kinda give it a brushed aluminum look and dulled the shine slightly, the clear brought some of that back though. Good luck

[lilatv]

Ever get a chance to see what clear you used?
