If you really want to replace the hubs, since the 81 is a 3x100 bolt pattern, than use the 82 250r hubs which is a 4 bolt pattern, but I"m not sure if it's a 4x100 bolt pattern. I sort of like the 3x100 bolt early hubs.

Are the 81-84 rear axles all the same? Will the hubs from those years all fit on the same axle?

The 1st gen 250R used the same hub splines as all the other Hondas of that generation - FL250, ATC70,90,110,125,185,200...

That means you can use 1st gen 200x hubs or TRX 400ex hubs. The EX hubs add about 1" width per side.

The 82 250R hubs are the 4x130 pattern like the 185s, 110, and 125 of the same era.
2nd Gen 250R hubs should work too (4x110).
Lots of options.

The front tire is the problem - I had a hard time finding 8x8 0 offset in either 3x100 or 4x130 (81 & 82 250R bolt patterns). I probably overlooked something obvious.

:DI would upgrade the front forks to a 200x setup , better handling and brakes and the narrower tire , but that just me ,the rear hubs off most other hondas will work fine ,, but thats the easy part good luck and welcome to the trike fun ,,"ENJOY":cool:

I wish I had a hub/spline chart too but here's a link
for the rim, offset, bolt pattern stuff.
Some folks go to a more common size tire to get more choices.

www.mudthrowers.com and then go to 'ask the professor' for the chart.
