I made the trailer and the wagon for use behing my BR. Use both for hauling firewood.

[Thorpe]

I cut my plug up and put a cigarette lighter on it...

[oldtime3wheeler]

Thorpe, can you post up another angle of that reciever? How did you make it work?

[Thorpe]

Very carefully my friend.... What angle do you want?

[jasonb01]

Scott, those BR's are awesome!! And Thorpe, I too would Love to see some clear, up close pics of that receiver. That is exactly what I want for mine. Would you be interested in making some and selling them? Is it still removable with the hitch bolts are is it welded to the bike somehow?

[Thorpe]

Completely removable.... I could build a few more...

[oldtime3wheeler]

A close up of that pic would be great Thorpe. What would you want for one? That is exactly the solution to a problem I have pulling my one trailer.

[ScottZJ]

I knew a dude in Ark that made one from the factory hitch. He cut the end off and welded a block (receiver) on it and drilled the hole for the pin. It worked great too and I have thought about making one for one of my big reds.

[Thorpe]

Thats about all I did to my factory hitch.... (as said by ScottZJ)

[oldtime3wheeler]

Oh easier than I thought. Thanks for the info guys.

[atcquebec]

Most of you have seen it but he is asking for it.
Here a pic of the 2 big red we are using for hunting

[harryredtrike]

those are some nice bm's i mean br's.like that hitch set up the most though.good job guys

[Northman]

Great pics are those stock /oem wind shields and can i get some close up photos of those foot guards so i can build them, thanks in advance

[Thorpe]

I am in the process of building a deerstand/ice auger holder attachment for the hitch for my BR... Will put up some pics in a day or two...

[ScottZJ]

Yeah I need a close up of the mounting on the windshields if you could, as I have one with brackets and not sure how it mounts hehe. I would love to add that to the mint 87 to finish it off with accessories.

Here are one set of highway cruzer type brushguards I have on one of my big reds. They bolt to the frame by the motor mount and use the existing bolt holes of the footpegs. I will try to get a closer pic of the skid plate one in a few days.

[Thorpe]

Got my deer stand/stick ladder rack all built... Holds the ice auger as well! I am gonna paint it up, and will post pics tomorrow...

[125Mule]

i like my buddy's idea he's got on his 85 BR. he mounted one of those cheap marine cig lighter plugs (water proof) in the rear compartment for his little elec. tire pump. he's got it wired up to the selenoid or relay? (whatever it is behind the lefthand side panel) then to the main ground under the seat. he did it this way so he'd still have use of the front plug. he is thinking of hooking it up to the ignition wire maybe, so it'll be powered with "key on" only. right now it's got power all the time.
i don't have a pic yet, and i was even out there last night but forgot the camera.
mentioned to him last night maybe he should think about hard wiring the pump to a switch and just by-pass the cig plug, simplifing the whole thing. :lol:

[Thorpe]

Here was the BR in action the past few weekends deerhunting... Has my 16 foot stick ladder and my tree stand on the back... (also hold my ice auger come winter)

[aldochina]

we need a better pic thorpe!!

[Thorpe]

Can be seen at http://s881.photobucket.com/albums/ac13/oneoldjimmy/

[Thorpe]

A few newer pics, and a new accessory... My plow and winch...

[MudBug]

wow Thorpe, that is one nice BR. It sure is decked out, I love the look of those rims, how much were they if you dont mind me asking?

[dajeepman]

Thorpe those are some nice wheels on that BR... how does it like those tires and how well do they perform?

[Thorpe]

Dajeepman-- Love the tires... Do well in the snow, and awesome in the mud... I am really happy with the ITP mudlites... Mudbug-- Think I paid about 70 bucks a wheel for those...

Its not too shabby now, but it was a turd when I got it... Lots of time and lots of money... My wife was looking at it in the garage the other night and says... "Why dont I think that the original 450 you paid for it, isnt all the money that is invested in it...?" Needless to say, I just cracked another beer and never answered the question...

[Mondexbrute]

Sure do like that hitch! I would be willing to pay you good money if you would make me one!

[MudBug]

[oldtime3wheeler]

I need a set of handguards like those. very nice.

[Northman]

Hey Mudbog I just got a foot guard like that out of the Avalon Peninsula on the rock, anyone want those hand guards i bought a set for 14 dollars from Princess Auto

[tulsamike3434]

Where can we find accessories?

[Woodsrider]

Hey Mudbog I just got a foot guard like that out of the Avalon Peninsula on the rock, anyone want those hand guards i bought a set for 14 dollars from Princess Auto

Hey..thanks for the tip on Princess Auto...I was wanting a pair of those for my BR.

[MudBug]

IMO, they are not as strong as the ones on my other BR. (the last pics) but maybe its because their tightening points are a bit weak/rusty

[midget]

this is my big red.put a plow on it did away with the manual lift and put the winch on it.the winch also helps get you out of places that you might of not gone into before

[skiffy]

oh yes, sorry, I forgot about those!

[Woodsrider]

This might interest a few people looking for a multi-use hitch http://www.princessauto.com/truck-trailer/truck-accessories/off-road/8251704-atv-receiver-hitch

[Northman]

Hey guys,

I saw link to that camp cover for reds, real nice , might try that look on this new red i got today, hey what name and size are those rims skiffy man those are real nice,

[Northman]

Im also going to get that atc hitch woodsrider that looks great to tow logs out of my property. Thats one thing i never liked about the red was wrapping tow ropes or chain around the ball

[tulsamike3434]

I have a plug on the side of my headlight what was that for?

[dajeepman]

I like how the head light is removable and you can use it as a spot light!! but has anyone tried to install a HID bulb and use a ballast ? Have a nice white light that uses less energy?

[Northman]

the plug is for accessories although ive only seen a spot light , most just convert to a lighter plug for stuff

[Northman]

I was wondering same thing has anyone tried new style halogen in a big red?

[Thorpe]

Halogen spot light, or a new halogen in the headlight? I put a halogen in the headlight on mine. I believe the H4 (?) is the same base and fit right in... Bumped the wattage up nicely, and readily available at the autoparts store... HID conversion would be rather spendy since along with the ballast they require a power supply...

[Northman]

thanks I will hunt for one it would be neat with the blue light must be brighter

Yea but wont that put more of a draw on the alternator? or stator? I would think.. HID are olny 35 watts and now they make 50 watts HID ballast are cheaper every day.. but my main concern is the I like to keep the head light extension so I can use it as a work light.

[dksix]

I had never seen this thread, those working trikes are awesome. I've got to do one of those blades for scraping the driveway. The rains this year keep it washed out.

[cats12234]

Does anyone know were i can find a speedo for a 250 honda bigred

[Thorpe]

Here is my idea for mounting a bicycle air pump on my Big Red. I'm amazed at how many times that thing has come in handy for me or for other riders on the trails I ride.

Could you post some more pictures of this...especially the back side of the plow blade so I can see how you have it mounted to the frame? Thank you!

[userj8670]

[Thorpe]

Digging that block heater!! That would be sweet if I had power in the middle of the lake, after a day of negative degree weather, and ice fishing!

[userj8670]

Block heater? I never heard of one. Im not knocking it, its def cool, but do you really need one on a gasoline engine?
