TOTALLY SICK KASEY!!!!

[edog]

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mosh]

:drool: You definately build,and own some sweet arse Trikes man!:drool:

Is that a Banshee shock?

[Trouble]

Omg.... i want! i want! i want! i want! i want! !

[SeaBass8]

Wow!!! Really cool!

I may have to try one of those some day.

Great job.

[Hoosier_Daddy]

Now, that's cool!

[TravEX]

Hella Sweet!!!!!!

[ccdhowell]

Wow, my eyes have been opened...very nice is too little to say about a creation like that. Simply superb

[tecat-z]

Dam man, now that's a cool trike!! You definately got talent.:w00t:

[Tri-ZNate]

Very cool to say the least. I think '08 stirred up the need for a gang of 70cc riders:shiftyeyes:

[drhatc200]

that is one bad little 70 like the others you have again aawesome machine

[Derrick Adams]

Thats very nicely done. You should be getting a pretty good collection of 70's these days.

[Jason Hall]

I love that thing, what a nice job you did with It. I especially like the rear linkage setup, you had some time In that. That must be an add on cooler on the cylinder head on the right side? That Is WAY cool Kasey, you have some great Idea's,and do a fine job building just what you want. I love everything about It, color scheme, length & stance, by far the sweetest 70 I've seen :beer

[sandpuppi101]

Deffinatly a prestine build Kasey.I looked at the pic's for a few minute's and picked up on the finer detail's,and it look's very nice indeed. 70 racing Rule's ,and I hope too see you and your trike's in person one of these day's..

[chris200x]

Thats very nicely done. You should be getting a pretty good collection of 70's these days.

I was thinking the same thing Derrick. Post up the rest of those little buggers when ya get a chance Richard. I never get sick of looking at them. Very nice work indeed!

[KASEY]

well i got the fenders painted finally,,,, i guess i am going to have to build myself a small paint booth,,,, it took 3 attemps to get it without a bunch of crap all over them,,, here is what it is starting to look like,,, with a few of the decals on too,,,

[oldtime3wheeler]

Sweet trikes, wish mine looked that nice

[big schott]

Oldtime, You'll get there. At least you have a good headlight in the correct spot on that 70. I see you havn't replaced the bulb.
Looken good.:beer

[atctim]

Richard - that trike is one of the coolest 70s I have ever seen - Nice theme. BTW - are you aware Honda makes a Mugen Civic?

That would be the perfect car for you man:

They have one at my local dealer - pretty cool ride.

[sgp56]

man thats sweet

[Xowner]

WOW! i sure am glad to see that number plate found a GREAT home!!!

[KASEY]

MR.X OLE BUDDY ,,, now you can see why i was blown away when that showed up at the house!!!!! it was perfect and without that #1 i would not have been able to have my original number too,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

oh yeah i am aware,, but with all the financial troubles of mr honda,,, they have changed the name to M-TECH ,, i think he figures with a new company name if he went down big the company would survive!!! i was reading about a mugen civic that the thieves got to before the dealer could sell it,,, they took all the mugen goodies ,,,,, now there is only 999 mugen civics left,,, i guess i would not want one i am sure it would get stolen or vandulized sooner or later,,,

[3Razors]

Even though I'll never understand the 70 craze. That is some awesome work and the Mugen theme gives it a real unique kick! The 70 nuts have got to be drooling looking at those.

[KASEY]

one thing nice about 70's you can build several for the amount of one ful size trike,,,, also i am short 5' 9" so i fit a 70 just fine,,, you need a taller bar kit,,, try it you might be suprized,,, :D :D :D

[Xowner]

haha and it was address to the CAT! LOL i want one of those frames so i can build one and not have any worries about folding the stamped frame up !

[Jason Hall]

Kasey, the 70 Is looking awesome. I have a suggestion for you, maybe for one of your future 70 builds. I was looking at the new trx90's at the dealer. I thought of using the factory white honda 90 rear plastic & seat on my boys custom atc 60. I would bet a 70 would look SWEET with the modern plastic also.

[rdlsz24]

Suweet build! What engine is that? I'm pretty sure none of the smaller Honda engines were kickers.

Rob

[KASEY]

all HONDA CT70'S AND SL 70'S WERE KICK START,, ALL THE WAY BACK TO 1969,,, THAT IS A HONDA TRANSMISSION,,

[Billy Golightly]

That thing is simply bad ass Kasey, awesome awesome work and job man. Does this mean your gonna be at TF next year? :D

[KASEY]

lol!!! man it is just too far to haul all the way there,,, move it further west maybe!!! ... i did 1100 miles to the rampage last year,,, that was a chore!!

[KASEY]

ok well i think i have it all figured out,,, i got the seat profile i like,, and i got rid of the red hubs,,, i had the front hub chromed,, and painted the rear black,, not sure on the rear yet,, i might chrome them too,,, so off to the seat guy for the finished product,,, and a seat stencil kit and its all finished,,,, so now i need to get it out and ride it,,,,,

[birddogg]

Awesome machine. Someone needs to re-pro those suspension frames. My BBR SuperPro frame complete with an Elka shock and +5 swinger for my CRF50 only cost about half of what I've seen those A+ frames go for.

[scooterroo]

looks pretty sweet kasey, one of if not the badest little ones on here.

[UlsterATCFan]

You could make a fortune building and selling these things man!

[KASEY]

here are a few links to picts of my 70's the one picture of the tres regatta the lineup of 70,,, the first 6 are mine,,, the last one is an 83 i rescued from certain death at a salvage yard, its now a happy garage queen,

I noticed they where the same rear fenders used in the top picture of the post above. any help will be much appreaciated.

[sx250heath]
