Thanks man. I have that all on video but I haven't gotten it edited yet. I'll try to get another video up next week that explains all of that. It's a pretty slick and reliable setup.
I hear ya, I don't show a lot of the detail on the video but the frame was really rusty and cracked towards the back end where I chopped everything off. It wasn't safe to restore in the state it was. And the forks had cracked welds and were bent back really bad too. That was the only thing that was sacrificed. That and a cracked front fender. The rest of the parts were saved for other restorations. Thanks for watching!
I love the 3 wheelers since that was what I rode as a kid but I have really gotten in to trail bike recently. You got any bikes in mind for what you're going to get?
@@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS well, my problem is I have four vintage snowmobiles I've been ripping since I got them that all need major work now. So all the "project money" is going thataway. EVENTUALLY, I would plan to acquire an old dirtbike that doesn't run, and get it going to race around my trails. I have no hope of finding a three-wheeler, those are a luxury in my state that people pay good money for.
Hi I am building an other one now my self very cool and nice builds could you post a video of putting those front forks on I have never changed or put forks on any three wheeler before so I would like to see how you did it with that type of front forks thanks,
If you search youtube for "Honda ATC Front End Swap" you will find some videos. Or if you search google for "ATC parts diagram" for whatever model you have you can find a diagram. It is pretty simple, the only thing you have to remember is to use a magnet or something to catch the ball bearings.
I like it interesting conversion my favorite choices the Honda 200 Big Red e-model for a two-wheeled conversion as it has the high and low transfer case and chain drive and very easy to convert to a two-wheeled Fat Tire monster although I've been eyeballing a possible Honda 250R three-wheeler to two wheeled conversion and again would be rather specially on that frame easy to convert or the 200x model but one thing for sure he's old Honda 3 wheelers for a whole lot more fun riding on two tires for sure
I was originally going to build one off a big red instead of the 110 but the thing would have been really unwieldy to ride. The 90/110 is a really nice size to ride. I agree though, the bigger bikes with the tubular frames would be much easier to convert. A 185s or 200s with the smaller tires might be a fun project in the future!
@@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS I hear what you're saying with the 25 x 12 by 9 tires I've learned that the key to that same size tire but a 2-ply radial 25 x 12 x 9 knobby Tire and the ones I run have a 2 PSI Max operating pressure as soft as they are there Rock Solid and beings they have the original profile at a lot of stability and my opinion makes much better smoother ride than the bias-ply night and day difference and I finally when I switch from bias-ply to radial I should have done that a long time ago and what I gained easier rolling smooth stable ride that's definitely the key and well worth the minimal $200 investment didn't sell the other ones were put them on another bike but I have to say I still like the conversion you did I would have never seen that or look at that bike for that I do like the benefit of the vertical engine and the added ground clearance that's pretty cool can't wait to see it
@@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS yep I'll never forget the day my parents surprised me with a Honda big red 3-wheeler 110 and the first time I sat on that comfortable seat looking down at the huge low-pressure flat-looking tires, it was Pure Heaven that thing would run over anything you put in its path in the right was smooth and the seat was very comfortable to sit on, out of all the Honda Big Red three-wheeler 110 has the most comfortable seat and the best-looking in my opinion
@@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS it's kind of funny in a way but the sad truth is, tire pressure in low pressure tires, and the fact that little Johnny totally ignored the manufacturer's safety guidelines and operating procedures, over-inflated the low pressure tires on his Honda Big Red disregarding the 4 PSI Max operating pressure labeled on the tire and went off to ride in some off-camber trails on his new first maiden voyage trip riding his Honda Big Red and the story is as we all know it stick your foot down the bike runs you over whereby he broke his neck and incorporate greedy lawyers step in and have their clients signed a contract promising overnight get rich in 1986 that was the death of the 3-wheeler dirt bikes for any off-road bikes with huge low pressure tires as the greedy corporate lawyers settled out of court with Honda an agreement to cease production on future models, so they're still legal you can still build them because they were never ruled in the court system but that'll never happen with the corporate greedy lawyers just waiting to start class action lawsuits because the parents failed to follow the safety guidelines and instruct your child on the safe operating practices than manufacturer explicitly warned about it's the actions of stupid people not taking responsibility for their negligence and then point the finger and blame someone else for their failures and injuries that somehow it was their fault, definitely sad times that we live in with stupid people still drinking the Kool-Aid
It is a pretty big chore, especially with the stamped frames on the 90's and 110's. I think a 185S or 200S would be a lot easier since they have a tubular frame.
Here is the build video of the red bike at the beginning of this vid. ua-cam.com/video/iWi7odpQ-e0/v-deo.html
DAM !!! now I have to build one !!!!
Dang it, then I won't have the only one. Just kidding, have at it!!!!
Very cool project. Thanks for sharing it with us. Looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks Dan, I'm hoping to have another video ready by mid next week.
This is so cool! I really like the white paint concept and graphics. Dual headlights look great! Can’t wait to see it all completed.
Thanks!, I think the white one is still my favorite!
Nice video! Would love to see more detail on how you solve the chain sprocket dilemma on these builds in your next vid. Keep up the good work.
Thanks man. I have that all on video but I haven't gotten it edited yet. I'll try to get another video up next week that explains all of that. It's a pretty slick and reliable setup.
I do like this but, that was a really good 78 Atc 90.

darn, now I just want a trail bike or three wheeler even more.

@@nybergsgarage Nice! Almost time to get the sleds out!!!
@@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS almost... just lemme finish workin' on 'em.
Love to have one of these build from a 200x
That would be a blast!

Hey make a video of the complete build start to finish compalation it or some thing
Thanks for the good idea Paul. I'll put together a long start to finish video of the white or blue bike soon!
@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS tha KS for the reply I will now sub
@@paulh9454 Thanks and thanks again for the good idea!
im looking hard at this, what is the easiest bike to convert, and what is the best to avoid?
It is a pretty big chore, especially with the stamped frames on the 90's and 110's. I think a 185S or 200S would be a lot easier since they have a tubular frame.
Can this be done without cutting original frame?
You definitely could but the wheelbase would be pretty long and awkward looking I would think.
I wonder if you rotated the fork tubes for a better steering rake?
I was thinking about that too. I'm not sure why the ATC185s had them like that originally. 😁 I flip them some day as an experiment.
@@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS It should steer stronger, Nice clean builds you have though! i subscribed
What size shaft did you use ?
@Richard Kemp. For the jackshaft, I used a 3/4" keyed shaft. What are ya building??? 😀
2wheel 사고싶네요. I want to have 2wheel.
They are fun.
