Hi all, I'm new to 3 wheeler world here- I'm sure it's been asked a million times- I just bought a 1987 Big Red- It's my first 3 wheeler - It has new fenders on it- I want to put new decals on it all around (tank, sides, front, and rear- even warning stickers)- can you guys help me out or point me in right direction? I seen a few on ebay but not complete sticker kits- Thank You- Eric

Someone was just posting about that in the last week or so.
If you can get the search key to work for you, it should pop up.
They only made 4,000 or so 87 br models so yes, it nice to have them correct.
I Love warning stickers too, esp the tiny one on the trunk that says operator only, no riders.
Actually, that's on the sx.
My 87 br says tire pressure gauge / owners manual on the trunk lid and the no passengers is on the rack.
Don't be surprised if you wind up with a few more trikes.
They're like duck decoys and attract more so it's good to keep them hidden (and locked up)
Just don't put your feet down while it's rolling.
Something we all do Once.
Welcome to the world of go anywhere, do anything machines.
edit
I think Beatrice cycle in Nebraska has some oem stickers too.
Make sure you check/ change the engine oil and filter (filter needs to go in the RIGHT way and can easily go in wrong)
and the differential oil is only like 3 point 3 ounces of 80 wt hypoid gear oil so not much more than 1/2 a coffee cup.
There should be a manual posted in the 'world class help' section here on tirkesylvania and orig sales brochures here somewhere too.

Critical is the oil, filter and gear oil for the differential. and NO oil additives unless you hear otherwise from more than 10 folks on here.
'World class help' has the shop manual and maybe even owners manual, both are fun to read. Also orig sales brochures.
Keep the gas tank full to keep it from rusting, drain the carb float bowl if you plan on storing it for a few months, save from cleaning the carb. Non alcohol gas is best if you can find it.
Fuel stabilizer is not a bad idea over the winter.
See if you can get insurance cheap, for theft and liability.
Lock it up whereEVER it is.
I've heard a quick trip into the store or inside for a sandwich and they disappear.
Off road stickers are good to have on the machine and help if you ride on public lands.
Off road licensed/permits are good to have.
You can check out
rideatvoregon,org for a test and genuine plastic license they will mail to you for free but your tate prob has something similar too.
and NO matter what any one says..I used to ride motocross, bablabla etc etc can I ride your trike?????????????????
Guaranteed something will come back broken.
There's a new thread about the price of these in Canada well over 2 grand, cheaper than a quad and tons cooler but also
hard to replace if anything happens.
Have fun!
and keep asking questions.
Knowledge is power.
If your computer can handle youtube, look up 'floating big red.
I can't imagine running one that deep in the water but it did it.
I usually walk along side mine crossing the creek when it's deeper than the air intake and it does float itself.
Are you near the cuyahoga river flooding?
Do you remember when that river caught on fire?
