We tested the fully rebuilt ATC at Dumont Dunes, so the fabulous stock wheels were replaced with DWT wheels and Skat Trak dune tires for more fun in the sand. While they were fitting up the back of the bike, a stock airbox was mounted up, but it was filled with a K&N filter element with an Outerwear cover. From the front, the Duncan ATC looks mostly stock. Everything on the machine is either rebuilt or replaced. The replica stock plastic is from Maier.Īt the front of the machine, Duncan remounted the stock radiator. A Renthal ATC-bend handlebar was fitted with ODI grips, a refurbished stock thumb throttle and a Works Connection clutch perch. All of the stock skid plates were refreshed and mounted. The ATC is so bright and smooth that you would think it was fully refinished. Part of that immaculate appearance is thanks to an OEM-replica sticker kit, but mostly because all of the body parts were replaced. That process started with a stock capacity, stock color Clarke Manufacturing plastic tank. Maier OEM replacement tank scoops were added to the tank. The front and rear fenders are also Maier OEM-style plastic, and so is the front headlight cover over the original headlight. The stock shifter, kickstarter, footpegs and rear brake pedal were all powder-coated before being remounted on the chassis or engine. All of the powder coating was handled by Powder 1 in El Cajon, California. Three-wheelers are also a little easier to get some jump style on than a modern quad. The ATC almost looks like a restoration but packs a national-level race engine. While the chassis was on its journey, the ATC’s liquid-cooled two-stroke engine was on its own mission.
