ATC 80-R First test ride.

[Jason Hall]

Man this thing fits my little guy perfect. I busted arse to get it done as fast as I could. It's been 2 weeks since I started it & the wife is mad as a hornet, cause I've been in the barn till all hours of the night. Now I know it's been well worth it :w00t: All I need is a 10" front wheel & a 21" front max. What a little screamer. I took a picture of My-R & the 80 next to each other. It really does'nt look that much smaller. The wheel base turned out 4" shorter that the 250.

[Kintore]

Thats awesome Jason! :w00t: I wish I had one of those as a kid.
How do you boy like it? pulling wheelies yet? lol

[BigGreenMachine]

How is the power of that motor doing in the R chassis? Does it pull the front end up?

[xd 200x]

I have a 200x front rim if you want it. It came with my last roller. good tire you can have it. Im in lansing.

[cragster]

thats awesome. i want to make a mini racer sometime....(after i get me a real racer that is)

[hrc85250r]

that is sick, i bet it cranks, those little 80's arent pussy motors for their size....

[RedRider_AK]

Man, that looks like tons of fun. Great job on the trike, it looks like someone took a shrinking ray to an 85 250R. Very cool.

[Jason Hall]

The engine has plenty of power to pull the front end up. I need to put a bigger rear sprocket on in order for it to be rite. You really have to keep these 80's screaming to make good power. With to tall of a gear you really have to keep it screaming. It's ok with my boy on it, but with me it needs more gear. It will be better for him also with a bigger rear sprocket. Believe it or not the sprocket from the 80 fits the R axle hub with little modification. All you need to do is make the 4-bolts holes bigger, the inner hole in the 2 sprockets are the same size. The 80 has 8mm bolts & the R has 10mm bolts. Over all it was not very hard to make everything work. Thanks again for all the input you guys.

xd 200x, Thanks for the offer man but I'm pretty sure a 200x still has a 11" wheel. I need a 10" wheel to get a smaller tire, like a 20" or 21".

[xd 200x]

yea its an 11 sorry I coldnt help man

[Orangecnty250r]

I love it...Nice work!!

[slow200s]

i have to say that is one nice yard bike!
good job and great job in the time crunch!

[Derrick Adams]

They have 100cc class at Earlywines, next month!:naughty: :naughty:

[Meat-BoX]

Hows she ride for your kid? Any quirks or minor Problems you need to fix? With the Small Rims and Tires do you have any Ground Clearance Problems in the Rough stuff? Does she handle the rough stuff good and how is she in the Air?. I love it. I want one. You did all that in 2.5 weeks? Man thats cool:w00t:

[Jason Hall]

Meat-box, the only thing I have to do is get some new axle carrier bearings & seals. It handles sweet. The ground clearance I don't think will be a problem until he gets in the real rough stuff. I really think I will put some 18" turf tamers or fast trekkers on the rear. I have an extra shock that I will experiment with, to get the rear suspension set up better for him. I also have some 85-R forks that I will take the little spring out of like Derrick suggested. Also I want to strip it down & paint the frame white. I'm the most impatient person on the planet, If I could have skipped out on work, I would have got it done sooner :lol:.

Derrick, We will see how it goes. I doubt there will be anyone to run in his class :lol:. I can't wait for the next harescramble at sunset, I will bring my own partner this time :D.

[Meat-BoX]

Fast Trekkers would be a good choice for that Trike. A good tire for a racer that will clean out good, and get good sideways. I love mine.:beer

[BigGreenMachine]

And the 18 inch Trekkers are shorter then most 18inch tires.
