You have a good "Go to guy". Not many $30 recoils around that I ever see.

my go to guy is like my drug dealer.
just went to get the recoil and bolts 30 bucks right.
well its a complete 125m on flats, ive got a 84 110 tank that doesn't clear the cdi and coil so I check the tank. no repairs and there's the complete but faded and a few cracks rear fender with a rusted seat pan. even grabbed the tank insulators and bolts. so another 100 bucks for that. and since I don't have a battery and the cables are just hanging he gives me the battery for free. might as well grab the battery cover, the solenoid cover and the cherry rear tail light for a extra 10 bucks. so 140 bucks. I ask him would it have made more sense to just buy the whole 125m? he said yes, i didn't even ask what he would have just sold the whole trike for. thank goodness I didn't bring a truck. jim

I met Brian 20 some years ago, he never got into the internet thing. I think there was a member here a few years ago that found him and was buying parts off him and selling them here for a small mark up to make it worth his time. If anyone local hasn't met him, he doesn't mind me sharing his number, but he only sells locally cash and carry, he's fair on his prices so we don't haggle, more you buy, he might throw some small stuff in for free. His three wheeler inventory is getting smaller. But he's got a ton of other junk. jim

got fuel lines and a beater tire with a 9 inch brake assembly which doesn't fit the forks. but it let me take it for a spin. good news is there is no issues with the shifter. pulled the headlight to fix the broken mount. tomorrow install the original front brake, and headlight and decide weather to keep it or sell it. jim

swapped the original brake back, advertised it and sold it in a day. too bad it sold before the new key switch showed up. Now its back to getting my growing pile of new parts installed on my 185s. jim

back to the original trike in this thread. I paid $80 for the pile of parts, used the motor and tank on a 81 185s frame and it runs really good. sold the 200m seat, fenders (cracked) and 1 hub for $70 so got the cost down to 10 bucks and still have the rear axle and exhaust for the M with ill probably find a way to use the exhaust on the 185. the 125m was 65 bucks plus 140 for the tank, recoil, plastics and misc stuff. I ended up keeping the headlight assembly, tail light and new key switch (came in after the sale) and still sold for 340. This is really the only way to afford all these hobbies, make them pay for themselves. Of course its a hobby for me, I dont figure the hours tinkering in the garage or chasing down parts. jim
