The local add stated "Honda trike, Running, Hi-Lo Reverse w/windshield, $500.00. I called and found out this thing has been stuck in a sea container for six years and before that was up at a fly in moose camp in Northern Alberta. The only issue is that they didn't have enough room on the airplane to bring the rear rims and tires home so I bought some at a wrecking yard. It's a totally original 84 200es with mint racks, plastics, seat and tank. The decals show normal wear and the tank is slightly faded. I have to find out if the windshield is a Hondaline item too. The bad is that it needs an exhaust (found one in Calgary), front brakes and a battery. All I had to do is dump the old gas, flush with Sea Foam and put in some fresh gas. She runs and shifts nice.

Nice grab for $500. I wish mine had reverse. Post the pics in the Big Red group.

I haven't figured out how to post pics in the group part yet. I wish it was as simple as a regular post:wondering

Nice!! Love that windshield, i want one for my 84 BR which looks just like yours. I got one about a week ago in really nice shape other than needing a few electrical fixes and a starter clutch, basically why it was parked was the electrical problems were driving the owner nuts. I found the problem fast and made repairs, i fix stuff like that for a living all the time no skin off my butt.

I am curious also, is that a honda made windshield? Have you tried putting it on, i wanted to know how they mount i have only seen a few pics of BR's with a windshield, would be nice in the winter here.
