Quick big red question for ya.

[yooperman]

im not to up to speed on the big reds besides the 84 models, and there is a big red by my that is forsale on the side of the road. plastics are rough the rears anyways, only got a look from the road. havent stopped yet to check just want to get my info prior to stopping, anyways my question is this brig red has the gray emblem on the side of the gas tanks and for the life of me i cant remember what year they came with gray emblems. anybody hook me up with a quick answer? thanks trikers.

[yooperman]

figured it out its a 86. appologize for the dumb question. but by what i could see from the road rear plastics are shot, front dont look to bad, you guys have a rough idea what rough 86BR should go for if i can get this cheap i may pick it up or attempt to.

alrighty appreciate the reply man thanks, that gives me a stopping amount not to go above. i am going to run and check it out this evening or tomorrow see what he is asking for it. But if you guys never see me post on this good site again send the cops looking at my wife lol, because i think if i come home with another three wheeler she will kill me especially since it will be a low key hush hush buy then a bam look what i bought lol. wish me luck on my survivial this damn 3 wheeled addiction lol.

It's always nice to know if they run and go through all the gears.
Anything else is an easy fix.

If you can't hear it run, I assume they are parts machines.
Some of my best riders have started as hopeless parts trikes.

My GF always gets the best machine in the bunch.
That helps Sometimes.

Not doubting you here! But a Plain Grey stripe is a 82. 200,chain,no rear suspension. 86 is a whole nother game! Dam nice machine! 250 5 spd. Nice $700- $1500. Rear fenders aren't much over $200. Rear diff is what you will pay the most attention too. Starters and stators are also weak points.

hmmm think i am going to have to do lil better research now lol, boy open mouth insert foot lol. This really got my interest now lol i am going to have to stop and check it out just clarify in my head lol because i made a lil boo boo and it slipped out to the wife about the 3 wheeler. and she put a heavy foot down on the idea, and let me tell ya my gonads aint big enough to go against that foot and tone of voice lol, i may be dumb but not stupid lol especially when she got what i want lol.

[briano]

Just sit down with her and tell her nicely that you NEED another trike. Hell, back in January my gal was saying I should be on the show hoarders with my 70 collection, then I found 2 more. The big kicker is she bought them for me for my birthday. Lol so you still have hope.

[atc350xer]

The best part about having a collection(and a wife who doesn't care about wheelers), is that they don't know when you bring a new one home! Last summer I washed one of my 70's, then put it away to wash the Big Red... my wife said "didn't you just wash that?" :lol:
