There's some goodies on that bike! Dg head,boost bottle, aftermarket pipe and those sweeeet tires. Here that would be a 700 to 1,000 trike. You looking to buy it?

Yes sir. I made an offer.

Those things go pretty cheap out here on the west coast. I had one that was in decent shape and only wanted 400 for it. 2 months went by and never even got a call on it. I know the guys out east really like them. They go for about double out there.
That one your looking at seems to be very complete and from the pictures, looks to be in pretty good shape. Those rear tires are very desirable and work real good in the sand. Take a look in the gas tank. I don't think Ive seen any without a rust problem in the last 10 years, but that is fixable.

I own a 250r. Even came with some extra goodies.

Nice. Looks like it came with a DG head and an old school boost bottle.

No benefit to speak of really. Snake oil. I would take that off, plug the hole in the intake and hang it on your wall. Nostalgic piece for sure.

A boost bottle is to capture blow back and slowly return it to the intake as the engine needs it. As in the unburnt fuel.

If you have reeds, a boost bottle isn't going to do squat. If you don't have a case reed system, then it's a cheap alternative to a reed intake.

I have a motorized bicycle that has a 80cc two stroke engine in it that doesn't have a case reed system. So unless you wanna modify the piston skirt and all that good stuff to use a intake reed system people usually just opt for the cheap DIY boost bottle system. Even then, it's debatable on how much they actually work.
