Last May an old friend sent me a facebook marketplace three wheeler ad because he knew I ride three wheelers. I opened it thinking it was going to be a beat old hardtail but it was an 85 R! I didn't need another project so I sent the ad to a couple of trike buddies but they didnt jump on it based on how rough it looked. By the end of the day I convinced myself that I should just go look at it and check it out. When I got there I realized that it wasn't a beat to hell POS but just very rough cosmetically. The guy was the second owner and rode it in the desert out by Las Vegas years ago. I couldn't help myself and I brought it home. At some point the grab bar, seat and rear fenders were stolen and the chain was so rusty you could hardly roll it. The engine has never been opened up and has good compression. Since I got it I have replaced fork seals, fork boots, tires, chain, rear master cylinder, swapped carb for a stock bored out to 36mm carb, rebuilt that caarb, pipe (PT high rev copy), repacked silencer, seat, fenders, grab bar, lights, stator with 200w stator, bars, clutch cable, rear sprocket and disk brake (both bent), brake pads, and airfilter. I just finished up the DC conversion to run the LED lights and added a taillight that has a brake light (along with switches for the front and rear master cylinders). I have a ported cylinder that I was going to put on it but I have been surprised at how well it runs so I decided to just leave it alone. It has been a slow process so far but it sure does look better than it used to!
