i was wondering what front ends interchange with the 1985+ Big red? my brothers knows of a shaft drive big red 250 for $150, rebuilt engine, all it needs is a front end. he said he'll get it only if he could find a front end and for cheap.

I can't help with the problem, but let me know if he doesn't score the trike. I could take it for parts..
Current toys..
1986 Honda 350X..trail bomb!
1985 Honda 250SX..my main mudder
1985 Honda 250ES..Back in Black Trike
Current non-trike toys:
1990 Honda TRX300FW
1995 Seadoo GTX
1998 Polaris Indy Lite 340(Nearly new looking)
1998 Polaris Touring 500
1998 Club Car (electric)
SX front will fit, but it jacks the nose up in the air...
No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

Bump: will any other Front Ends work besides the proper 250ES Big Red Front or 250SX Front? would a older Big Red Front Be Ok on it? Never had a reply to the ad on Kijiji Yet for a 250ES Front end:

Edit: Just edited the Ad And added that a 250SX Front would Fit Also.Hi' i'm looking for a Front End for a Honda ATC 250ES Big Red. Please Let me know what you have and how much, please also let me know if you have pictures. I Live in St Agatha. Willing to pay around $50 Max Depending on condition and what comes with it because i paid like $40 For my 1983 Honda ATC 200E Big Red Front end last year that came with a good front wheel That still holds air.

Older BR forks are crap... very hard to find in nice shape, I'd find 250es ones on ebay or here.
agreed the 200 bigred forks are crap compared to the 250. the 200m forks are better, but dont know about fitment. like stated best bet is ebay or classifieds. a decent set usually runs 50-75.00.
MY FEEDBACK THREAD- http://www.3wheelerworld.com/showthr...ight=aldochina
Got no CC so Cash only unless people on Ebay or on the fourms are willing to Ship to Canada C.O.D or something. got the old Front that was on my 83BR that now has a Broken steering stem and a spare with a good Steering stem but was told it pulled to the right but IIRC the Shocks are Welded on them so i was thinking of grinding away the welds and getting someone to weld the steering stem from the spare to the one with the broken Steering Stem.
Bump For Any other ideas of front ends? 250ES and 250SX Front's Fit, 200E & ES Front's Suck 200M Front is Better but unsure if they Fit. that's all i'm getting from this thread. if a 83 200E Front Wiill fit and work dispite it being crap than it being crap is ok as long at it fits ok and works ok.
a 200X front will fit on a SX, and since a SX front will fit on a BR.... (BTW I have a SX front I would sell)

Looking for a Front End for a 85+ Honda ATC 250ES Big Red. To my Knowledge a 200X, 250SX and a 350X Front end would Fit it (A 1985-87 250ES Big Red Front would also fit Of Course). I have 2 front Ends that would work for a 1981-1983 Honda ATC 200 or 200E Big Red I'm Willing to Trade With or Without a Bit of Cash. One is good other than it haveing a Broken Steering Stem, the other One got a Good Steering Stem but I was Told it Pulled to the Right a Bit and IIRC the Front Shocks and Welded so they won't work. What could be Done though is grind off the weld around the Steering Stem on the Two of them and Weld the Good one onto the Good Working Front End and take the Old Front End and use it for Scrap Metal.

Bump, i know of a cheap Front for $20 local. guy had it for last 10 years for a project he was going to do but never got to do it. i think it's from a 200M. if a 200M Front fits the 85-87 BR For Sure i'm good to go.
