    How did I know I would dig up a smart ass?

    That means it came from a rusy trike then, correct? All I have to do is find a rusty trike now.

    Yup. Looks like its part # 80104-964-000 from a 1984 Honda atc250r. I would give Mikey a message and see if he's missing it from his bike.

    I have had this sitting in my parts been for well over a year. it must have come from the other R I had way back when. Well, the next step is to get rid of it.

    Yeah, I am willing to give it away. If he will pay for shipping it will be his.

    Does that mean I should no longer search for a rusty trike?

    You can continue your search. Its not like its going to be hard, there are hardly any rusty 20 year old trikes out there.

    That seems to be all I find. Florida is not a good state for a trike to sit.
