Come on guys, show 'em off! The big red has got to be the best overall ATC ever produced, I will be pickin up my first BR in a few days and will end up doing a ground up resto on it and want to see what some of you have done to yours or just see the stockers that are out there for reference. So come on and post up some pics of your work-horse! By the way, if you got extra parts you wanna get rid of let me know how much.

Yeah... I may have "freshened" it up a bit... I have alot of hours into it, and one understanding wife! Its wearing Maier plastics with a little massaging... Think I paid about 70 bucks a wheel from D.K.... (front required a little custom spacer action)

Your down by the cities right? There are times i wish i lived down that way or at least closer for the simple fact that there are always good deals on CL down that way, about a week ago I saw a 84 250R on there for 175 bucks!

There's a lot of nice BR's here!
Darrin, I especially like that pic with the ice auger. Somehow the phrase 'Git 'er done!' springs to mind. Lol! Nice machine! Reverse must be awefully nice to have. Plowing snow without it would be pretty pointless. Honda should have released the '85 BR in '82... or at least given mine better forks, shaft drive and reverse.
I know I just posted my '82 BR restoration slideshow here, but since I don't feel like up-loading another picture to the site, here's the link instead. http://s589.photobucket.com/albums/ss335/1911Kimber/Big%20Red%20resto/?albumview=slideshow .

Its handy for going ice fishing, (added a unseen pic, my portable icehouse is hitched to the back of the auger stand...) and come deer season, hauls my stand and ladder out to the woods too... I was really suprised how well the BR does plow snow.... Now, I just gotta figure out where/how to mount a cooler... :lol:

My first trike. Paid good $ for it but everything worked mechanically. Just had to fix a leaking tank, recover the seat and freshen it up a bit.

Alright...here's my '85 Big Red machine...just added the DG RCM exhaust as of August 2010...stock system still in great shape...just wanted something lighter and better...
Other than that, all stock original. Only problem is that I've been told it's "too nice to drive". Looking for something more woods worthy.
