    I finally got one!

    Hey All,

    I figured I would introduce myself, after months of "lurking" on the site and gaining covert information on the innerworkings of 3 wheelers. So, last week, I finally got a 3 wheeler I can call my own! I am the new owner of a brand-new (to me) 1987 Honda 250es Big Red! It's a little rough around the edges, but it runs perfectly and suits my needs perfectly. I look forward to learning more from y'all!

    Take care,

    Fred

    Thanks for the welcome! When I got this trike, I had no idea it was "rare"...All I know is that I've always wanted a three-wheeler since I was a kid, and now I have one!

    yupp, less than 5,000 but not sure if that's usa or worldwide.
    Congrats and welcome.

    service manual should light up for you.

    change rear axle oil. 80 wt, 3 POINT 4 ounces hypoid and the engine oil filter CAN go in the wrong way
    and fry the cam.
    Other than that, you've got a machine that will last forever.

    some great big red vids on youtube.
