Hey trikers, finally figured out how to post pics, so i thought i woould show you my 85 Honda 250es Big Red. I'm building it to be a trail rider and mud machine! Basically stock to start with, needs a few things, but it's kinda become a hobby for me. It will be fun to go around the quads in the mud! Owned several trikes growing up, but this is my first big red. Tell me what you think. Was gonna sell it, but changed my mind.

looks nice, you should take some standing back so we can see the entire trike! a 250es is on my list of some day.

nice!! I'd love to get a set of those hand gaurds. My buddy has the same set on his. I wonder if those are old school, or something you can still get. Are they Hondaline do you know? they match the trike great.

Did you just buy this or is it for sale? http://nacogdoches.craigslist.org/mcy/2082977712.html
If you just bought it, congrats! Looks like a nice Big Red.

Looks like it's already to hit the woods now ! What are some of your plans to do to it ?
When you are ready to get a cover for the clutch adjuster nut, give me a shout.

hey jeswinehart, would love to find a cover for the clutch adjustment nut, shoot me a pm, and aldochina, ordered these from canada, since I ordered the guards a few months ago, they are no longer available or offered on that site, but i think they match well, shoot me a pm if you still have that stock muffler. This trike is listed on craigslist, i pulled my add on this site, this trike has potential, not going to sell after all. Plans are to put radical mud tires or rear, maybe a winch on the front, and possibly lift it. Thanks!

The handguards look very similar (if not identical) to the ones you can get from Princess Auto - www.princessauto.com. Site is down right now so I can't verify. They have a utility look that I like.

Link to them: http://www.princessauto.com/all-seasons/recreational/power-sports/summer/8005848-atv-handle-bar-brush-guards
I'll be headed that way over the Christmas holiday, might stop by and pick up a set if they stock them in stores.

Glad you like the handguards, didn't realize they were such a hot item, i put them on because they look like a factory option! Really seems to match the trike, I like the look of a tough lookin utility trike, i think the aftermarket sometimes forgets about us.
