I vote Monster Mini!

I reckon the trike will be the most expensive... But that's a guess...
The mini will be easier...

I guess main thing will be what is easier to get parts and the new tires that fit.

Mi-ni! Mi-ni!

Anybody have a manual for either of these? The ATC has no spark (the coil tests good with the multi meter though). The KV75 is missing parts and wiring. I think I will start with the mini, because my 10 year old daughter reallllly wants to be able to ride it around this summer...

I am having trouble finding a coil for the late 70's Kawasaki kv75. Does anyone know a part # or where to order a cheap Chinese knockoff coil?

Good luck, they were not nearly as popular as the Honda ct70.

Coils are usually rated by ohms. Electronic is one, points and magneto is another. I can't remember the values right now, but I believe a quick google search would produce the specs.

Well, I have four 3 wheelers now! I think I can get 3 of them running. I need to start figuring out what to use for the pivot side of a swing arm and a small jack shaft. Maybe combine the 2? Any advise is welcome. I have been looking at some pictures of the old missle kits that turned ATC's into fat tired 2 wheelers for ideas.

those kvs are great bikes. expensive parts. I had one i dragged out of the dump. I think every single part on it was broken in some way or another but it ran and rode had lots of fun

I once had the Honda in a 250, With pull start! That was a pain to start. Who puts pull start on a 250! It was fun to ride. Dangerous but fun. Mine had semi auto trains. Nice.

Build fat mini bike. So I can copy design.
