I think this bike was posted before, and was for sale on ebay, but I could not find the post.

Was this the same guy who was selling the '87' 250r as well? I honestly cant recall...

Looks legit, save for the lame handlebars, headlight, seat, tires and a few other small details.

Tank is cool though!

It looks like bighair/trikrbuilder30/bigbuilder45/he-she/ is at it agian.....I would stay away from this one unless it was seen in person. To much $$$ for a non-original IMO anyway..

Don't think it is bighair , This guy is in Seattle and has his name and number . ya 1850 a little high but bike does look to be in decent overall shape

decent shape, but all original? The seat has been recovered, the stickers are no longer on the fenders, no stock handlbars, no stock rubber...

The wear doesn't match as well, it looks like a restored model to me. If it were all original and in the same shape as the tank/shrouds i would agree with the price.

You are correct....and they both had bids on them with reserve being met. So....I wonder who got screwed out of there down payment? Oh....and when they were on e-bay they were located in NY...now there in Seattle. I'm call'n' BS

Man, this guy just totally sucks,,,,he's way to stupid to be a criminal..."I traveled the west coast spending months inspecting trikes"....and this is the best he/she could come up with? In classic trikebuilder form...he/she knows jack about trikes, whats original and what isn't. How many times are these trikes going to be sold, and people screwed out of the hard earned money before someone busts TB/he/shes chops? I hope it's soon so this stops. The best we can do is call this guys scams out every time he/she shows up on craigs list and e-bay. Maybe he will give up.

Yeah...thats the same 350X that someone won on e-bay a few weeks back. from non other than "collector45". $500 non-refundable down payment......I bet it was non-refundable all right. You can tell by the way the description is written it is the same guy selling it. On e-bay the trikes were in a storage unit in New York....now they made it to Seattle, this guy is stealing money from whoever will fall for it.

Has anybody called the number in the ad to see what kind of story he/she has this time?

I think it would go some thing like this " Ha...I have fooled you all, I am not a he or a she...I am a poly-metal alloy robot covered with a living exo-skeleton... I don't know anyone named trikebuilder, but I did send bighair $18,000 for two trikes that I never saw...she screwed me over...that is all I know. These two trikes I have for sale are so awesome, they came from Africa where things don't rust. Send me $500 down and I will hold them for you.....or just leave $500 cash behind McDonalds between the dumpsters and I will pick it up there later."
