Tijuana Trike — DAVMOMOTO

1985 Honda ATC70 custom trike. The engine is a 110 cc 3 speed with reverse. This one was a parts bin special (as if you can't tell.) Even so, some of the parts were collected over the years for their color, like the purple front fender, and green chain guard. Two 1980's Honda ATC70 frames were grafted together to re-direct the backbone, and give this bike which has next to no trail when stock (and usually negative trail after they were banged into enough obstacles,) a little more rake. Combination heel-toe-suicide shifter, ape hanger handlebars, double sissy bars for the King-Queen seat, and much more.

The power plant is a clone based off the Honda TRX70. It is 110cc’s with a 3 speed automatic transmission with reverse. The exhaust pipe is modified from a Kawasaki KLX110 stock unit. The Cal-Custom Stromberg type air cleaner cover protects the cone

The control panel came from a bike a buddy gave me, a 1972 Z50 frame and engine that became the PonyBoy bike core. The bike had lived a hard life as a rental at a track, and the front number plate had a toggle kill-switch on it to handle incoming ri

The wheelie bars are a must if a rider is on the rear seat. Made with Powell-Peralta Bones skateboard wheels and bearings, and a 4130 moly steel frame. The Cal-Custom barefoot foot pedal was adapted to make a foot brake. The license plate is from th

The amazing seat cover by Mobtown Mike of Weatherford, Texas in beautiful Zodiac flake makes the bike. The street tire in front and knobbies in back provide great street handling. A knobby front tire is mounted and ready for off-road riding, which

Spring-loaded rear bin for all your crap. It is about the size of a lunch box.

The idea on the fenders evolved from my desire to mainly use materials on hand. There was some .030 aluminum sheet around, but without a sturdy support under it, it wouldn’t be strong enough to support someone standing on it, a requirement. The ridg

The Jet-Age front fender ornament made from solid brass and silver-soldered together.

The reproduction 1959 Cadillac tail lights turn signals, and fender marker lamps are all fitted with LED units. The running lights can be switched on and off, or made to flash. The brake lights are actuated by the right handlebar lever or foot brake

A Bates removable sissy bar for the king, and a Harley bitch bar for the Queen seat. The tank mounts and seat mounts are finished, and the fenders are starting to take shape.

This is mid way in the build, in early 2022. the basic structure is tacked together, but there is a long way to go, and a ton of decisions yet to make.

Early in mock-up, the seat, tank, handlebars and lighting are all there. The handlebars were cut down for several reasons, not least of them being to fit inside my van (with about an inch to spare.)
