I know we need parts but this is really depressing:(

[clong]

So sad to see all these 3 wheelers are awaiting a slow and painful death never to be ridden again. This is that Inland Empire ATV place in California. They buy old trikes out of the recycler and then tear them apart to sell the pieces. So sad. I see a Tri-Z back there, a bunch of 200x's, a few 250R's and a nice 350X up front. This depresses me.

ya man that ***** i wonder if they would sell me a whoole bike? so then i could restore. ive tried email the guy for a 200x sproket gaurd and he never responds to my emails.

[vartiak15]

didnt no i couldnt say suck*d

[OldSchoolin86]

If this is the same place I emailed then a few times a year ago and they never responded. They must get them cheap to invest the time in to tearing them down and shipping the parts.

i hate when people do that... i want to buy one of them r's for a project...i wonder if they would sell a whole bike

[deathman53]

I wouldn't buy any parts from them now, Mike left. I used to and they had good prices, last time I called they wanted $400 for a 86 200x head, new is $168(and disconitinued). I have to say when Mike was there he couldn't get a 86 200x axle and he found a nos durablue +4 for the same as he wanted for a used one, also I had a shipment lost of tecate parts, he handled this and got me replacements parts with-in 2 weeks.

that is crappy

i wish i could go there and smack the crap outta those guys and give everyone a trike! lmfao

They seem to only get the bigger trikes(i.e. 350X's,250R's,200X's,Tri-Z's and so on.) It is sad to see a nice running trike parted just for a few extra dollars. I say stock up on parts while there stilll around!

YES!

I'd have to agree.

[deathman53]

yes, stock up, while you can get them cheap, in 5-6 years they are gonna cost a forutune(look at the prices of trikes). I would say buy a few bikes that the motors were taken out of and the rest was left to sit, you would be set for chassis parts and I'm sure they won't want much for the rest of the bike. ALot guys still use 250r's so I don't think 86-89 axles, carriers, swingarms, bearings, calipers, are gonna be a problem to find in the next 10 years. Before 2002 just about every racer used a 250r motor, aftermarket chassis, 250r calipers, rear end, and such. I plan on buying another parts bike.

[TrikerR]

thats not cool. you guys over there have enough trikes to just get em and part em out by the hundreds and here in australia they are so uncommon that guys can charge $1300 for a crappy 1980 110 that needs pretty much everything except a seat.

I would have to agree with hond act . Try to buy somthing (anything) for a 350x in oz.

[TrikerR]

try to buy anything trike related (aftermarket) and see how many people either laugh at you or dont know what your talking about.
