HOT 1979 HONDA ATC70

Francis Raynauld is a Dirt Wheels reader up in Quebec, Canada and here is the 1979 Honda ATC70 that he put together. You’ll note that the engine is not the stock 70 unit.  It is a 160cc engine purchased from one of those pit bike companies. Their motor mounts are designed to lineup with ATC and mini frames.

Some of the most fun you can have is getting a bunch of ATC70s together and racing around a small oval. It’s a total blast when those things drift out sideways with the throttles pinned.

Below is the list of items used to build this custom ATC70. It’d be easier to count the number of stock parts.
