    85 honda burnt down :(

    guys,its a sad day,

    my 85 bigred 250es burnt down .
    went to get it and when i opened the door i was in tears, it got pretty much everything.only thing is still good in the front fender and forks and light.and one rear tire.


    so the question is

    is there anyone that knows if they sell aftermarket fenders and parts?

    we rebuilt it 4 years ago and had new everything

    we are wanting to get it back up and running.but the parts are very very high to what they was 4 or so years ago.

    the only thing we can think of is the battery blew up. the fire jump the tank and got the dash and brake cables.the fire also went under the tank and came with in a 1/2 ich of the fuel line. we dont want it to sit.cause iv had it ever since i was 9.

    when we rebuilt it about 4 years ago the fenders where around 140 for the rear and about 60 for the front.now there 220 for the rear about 100 for the front.the side panels are crazy high.150 for one.thats crazy.

    That's a real shame, bud. Could have been much worse if that fuel tank had gone up! How's the engine look?

    Holy crap bud that's a shame! I can't believe no one seen any black smoke....unless it happened at night. And yes I guess it could be worse. If I had any parts they would be yours for cheap.
