I have two questions. One is where can I find a GOOD cover for my 85 BR. I have just completed the restoration and am looking for a good cover to put on it when it is sitting in my shop. Second is where can I find something that lists all the models of Honda 3 wheelers and the difference between them.

John,
Thanks for the information. I have a mother-in-law that sews. We have a Jo-Ann fabric store in Alpena. I can get my wife to go with me. I would email you a picture of my Big Red, but it is to many kbs to send on this forum and I am not able to figure out how to make them smaller. Have to wait until my son comes up to figure it out.

Former White Pigeon resident,
Lloyd

I think I used about 7 yards of Marine Vinyl when I made mine. First off I took an old sheet and cut it up for a pattern then went to town on the vinyl. I also made one out of an old hot tub cover since I had the material. I will look around for the drawings; I think I keep them around. If I had to pay full price for the vinyl I think it would have been about $40, I used pre-cut stuff they had (hence the two tone) so it was about half price. I chose the marine vinyl because it was soft enough not to scratch the trike and is mildew resistant. It is heavy which makes it hard to store when off the trike but it also won’t blow off the trike very easily.

I guess I don't have any good pictures but here are the two covers, the first is the vinyl on my YTM200 and the other is the former hot tub cover which I think is on my YTM also. The vinyl one is a little bigger and will fit snugly over the racks of my atc200E.
