    In louisiana that would fetch 2k no trouble.

    Unfortunately the seller has VERY poor taste in rear tires.

    I got an 87 for ya haha but you are a tad far.
    But I would have to agree to order a set of OEM tires for the rear and it would be sharp.



    86-87 Tecate ROCK!

    Ride fast...........brake late............and Slide the rear!

    Get it. it will never let you down. and the 250 big reds are pretty hard to come by in that shape. most of them get beat.

    87

    Love that 87, Id buy it if it were up here. I know these are hard to find as I mentioned I now own a 1986 250 es mint I bought off original owner 3 months ago he was 83 years old. He hit a rock and it went in shed for 15 years. It still has the rubber pieces sticking out the side of tires as it was never in mud or anything I love it. My wife says I can have another one so I was thinking two is better than one. But I want a 87 or even a 88, I know you guys will say there are no 88 250 es but, yes there are I have seen them.

    O I love the foot guards on that 87 can you send close up pics of under and how it is attached as I will probably have to get one made.

    This site rocks for us old trike lovers, I have always had one since 77, happy trails you are a unique bunch.

    Northman, I am in Florida right now, so cant get you any pics but will try to get some soon. Its a one piece system that mounts to the footpeg bolts and to the upper frame area. It has an angled skid plate that covers the entire bottom.

    Oh aldochina...not sure how yours could be cleaner than the 87, cuz those fenders, side panels, tank, grips, controls, wheels, mud flaps and so on are all brand new and have never been ridden since installed. hehehe
    86-87 Tecate ROCK!
