85 bigred!! fenders + exhaust done LOL

[aldochina]

for 250.00 just couldnt pass it up. Tank is excellant, has all the hard to find goodies. ive already gotten into it a bit, it was together, and running when i got it. Front tire was flat. he gave me another, but that tire is no good also. Came with extra pegs, the ones on it are bent. extra switch also. Figures i just sold my rear fenders from my parts machine. Got an idea for some make shift fenders though. this is just going to be a beater basically. I'm sick of breaking all my nice stuff. every time i ride. I cleaned the carb, adressed the air filter, swinger is tight, but wheels have some play, hubs are prob worn. Hope to get it reliable in a week or so. needs some brake attention also, but thats basically it. I am quite happy with the purchase.

had the mintest tool kit i ever seen under that seat. the case is still soft and pliable, and the tools are still gold!

Nice find on the tool kit, well the whole thing but WOW on the kit! Don't see that often.

I agree with not wanting to break the nice ones. I am building my 350x into a daily rider, so my 200x can be build into more of a monster. Have fun.

My computer will not pull up the pic, but great find. Seems a bunch of us have lucked into some good deals on Big Reds this past week. I can't wait to get home and see the pics.

Wow, part it out! Just kidding, great find, not often you can by a parts trike that you can ride!

your 1985 Honda ATC 250sx looks very very nice with rear mud tires on it.. Did you bought that bike from central NJ or something?? it looks nice bike. i have two of them, they are great bikes on trails.

[skypilot]

what tires are on the back of that big red? Never seen a tread pattern like that.

[200XMichigan]

Nice score, gotta love when they still have the tool kit. The 250ES I just picked up has it in it too. Didn't look like it had ever been taken out. It seems like everyone if grabbing up 250ES's on here.

the sx with the strykers came from NY, the one with the rack is much nicer and came from mass. I love the sx's also.

tires on the bigred are mud sharks.

the underside of the seat was all grimey, i cleaned it to like new, and really was amaZed at the condition of the tool kit. Even has the pressure gauge!

wait till you see what i have in store for fenders lol!! I will get to this a bit on sat. and will post up some progress pics for us bigred nutts!!

Just saw the pics, great find. That tank is sweet and you have the side panels also. I am getting an 85 250 sx this summer that I am super stoked about. It looks like it has never been ridden with the exception of rusty wheels. You have a nice collection in your garage.

Can you throw up some pics of the tool kit and gage?

[aldochina]

little update, i got it basically where i want it now, just gotta start reassembling it. rear end is in good shape, hub splines are slightly worn like i thought, everythng just needs a clean and grease. almost done with the fenders lol. i think they will work out great. I have a spare muffler that was rotted the same as this one that i patched up good, i will use that one, and patch this one up. the foot pegs only had one stock bolt left, the other 3 are all drilled through. i guess i will just get some grade 8 bolts to put through there the ones that where in it where all bent to hell. Hopefully i can get this beast going soon.
