ebay is a good place to look for parts. I know there were suspension kits made which would make your ride even nicer. And then the usual (cams, bigger head, high comp piston, better air filter, new exhaust, bigger carb, ect..) you know the usual.

cam, air filter, exhaust, rejet carb are the easiest to find.

As far as I know the suspension kits are no longer available. Check e-bay. Dr. ATV has a lot of performance upgrades for these cool little trikes. I dont know how to post a link yet but if you search yahoo or google you will find it.

I don't know of any suspension kits for an atc70, only complete frames. The suspension frames are pretty hard to find and usually go for alot on ebay. A
good place to look at suspenions atc70s' is on GlamisDunes.com, they have alot of examples of nice suspenion 70's and regular ones too. At glamisdunes look for the atc70 thread and go crazy. You can buy aftermarket engines, up to 125ccs' that will bolt into an atc70 frame with either manual or automatic transmissions and electric start. You can also get big bore kits from 85cc to 110cc for the stock atc70 engines, but people say that the 110 kits are hard to use the pullstarters on. I have several 70s' myself, one regular frame and 2 suspension frames and I have a ball on them, and I'm 5'10" and 250 pounds. I never grew up I guess.

For a camshaft look on webcams, they also have bigger valves and clutch spring kits and such. Also your handle is wicked!!!! :beer

my opinion best bet for making one faster is buying a bigger cc knock off engine you will save some money in the long run trying over trying to mod the orginal 70 engine to perform with these knock off motors.

ive ran a few knock off engines and am currently running 2 bikes with them and there awesome

heres my atc 70 with a 90cc motor in it

Pretty much what has been said before - Mines got an XR cam, Cobra Race exhaust, K&N cone filter. I'm having alot of trouble (for some reason) finding a larger than stock (#58) Main though - so shes running a bit lean. I've clipped the needle last groove rich to compensate the best I could for now. She runs great up to about 7/8 then it chops. I'm 6'1", 250lbs and I was pulling wheelies all day entertaining the crowd at my 4th party. I even raced it against my buddy on my ALT125D and got the jump on him every time. The only thing I would have changed is I would have gone with the Cobra "Quiet Series" instead of the full race - the little sucker is LOUD.

They are very rare .... therefore hard to find. You might need to search for more than a day. :cool:

Try DR ATV for parts. That's where I get all mine from.

The suspension frames are very hard to find. I've only seen two makes, one is from PK Ripper (you might remember their BMX frames) and A plus from SO CAL. Here is a pic of a PK Ripper frame that was sold on ebay, which I have one of.
"Up for bid is a very rare, fully suspended rolling Honda ATC70 chassis/frame. This is not homemade- These frames were made in the early mid 80's by PK Racing Products. Front forks are from a Honda SL/XL70, and while the shock on the rear is off a Suzuki LT80 quad, it really needs to use a rear shock assembly off a Honda XR70- which will fit without an modifications. The LT80 shock works fine for a lighter weight rider- but a heavier spring is needed for an adult."
