    EDIT: 85 250sx MY NEW TRIKE IS HOME!!! NOW WITH PICS!!!

    Please!!!! Can someone go out to their bike and measure the heighth of the front end. I need to know because I finally got the money to pick up my trike but the only truck I have is a ford expidition. The dude I bought it off will be home shortly and i want to go pick it up.

    The max height of the rear door is 35 inches. Even if I have to take the handle bars off it so shove it in there idk. Do you think it will fit??? If not I will have to wait until the weekend and i would really like to get it now. Any ideas?????

    Also the width of the rear tires.. I think I should be good with the width just wanna make sure.

    PLeASE HELP!!!!!

    I'll be right back with your measurements.

    Ok. It is a little higher than 38" at its highest point (the throttle housing), and it is 42" wide.
    I doubt you could squeeze it into a 35" area, because 35" is right about the top of the forks, but if you had 36ish" it may. 35" will be a tight fit..

    sx height

    well you could either let air out of the front tire, or pull the front forks and tire off. i know it's a little bit of labor but hey, it'd work

    Check my last post.. I got the measurements. If you were to let air out of the front tire so it is nearly flat, and turn the handlebars down, I would guarantee it will fit into a 35" space.

    I believe that swiney has had his 350x in his dodge van several times.

    That's all I needed to know!!!!

    When i had my sx many moons ago I fit it into the back of a 77 blazer (with the rear seat out) I think we put it in rear first but i really dont remember. And we had the front end out the back held by straps. Idk???

    well be back shortly with my new trike!!!!

    I'll post pics as soon as i can.

    thanks guys this site is GREAT!!!

    Oh btw... it was speedbumps bro 350xhiliration that shoved the 350 and the trx 90 into his minivan

    Well its been a good 10 years or so since i was on a trike. Well had one that ran anyway. I never got to ride that 200x!!! You can bash me if you want for it being dirty... BUT you aint seen nothing yet! lol. As soon as I got it out of the truck I just had to take it for a spin. (about an hour)

    The guy said all the racks, speedo and hour meter were installed at the dealer then his relative got it new. That ammo can will dissapear soon. it's been garage kept its whole life.

    79.5 hours!!!!! but i dont know how accurate that is. or maybe 700 and some not sure.

    8 and some hundred odd miles on the speedo. or Do you count the black wheel on the end?!?!?! Not too sure how that workS!!!

    ok

    Things i see wrong so far...


    the thing that worries me the most is a light ticking in the top end. Valves!!!

    My grizzly has been sitting for months cause i didn't have the cash to take it to the shop. And trust me when I tell you folks i'm not intelligent enough to do it myself!!!
    The mounting screws for the meter are missing. IDK. it don't say honda so i dont know if its original. Maybe i misundersttod or dreamed about it instead. But I've been on the boards for a while now and don't remember seeing anyone with one of these. ANYONE have or seen one?

    reverse light don't work

    the run stop switch is broke and there is a screw holding it in the run position. No big deal really I just use the key to shut it down.

    tommorrow when i get home from work I'll look over it real good and post some better pics. you can't really tell how good of shape this 20+ year old trike is. But I'm SURE it will clean up nice.

    More... :)

    Sorry guys but you can imagine how stoked I am. I think I peed myself! if you've been around the boards for a while you should know I haven't had the best of luck with anything I aquired. in the last couple years.

    last running anything i had was a 2001 kawisuki (sorry tecate guys?) prarie 400 which i managed to demolish less than a month after bring it home. of bringing it home. I got a good deal it was a leftover/clearence type deal.

    ok one more thing... the chrome ring for the speedo is missing... good ole electrical tape holding it on there just fine. I need a ring... anyone have one/

    I spy with my little eye something purple . Gotta love a K$N. Looks good chris. The valves arent a big deal (really easy to adjust). If you can find my previous thread about valve adjusting, it has a owners manual scan of how to do it from Huffa if you dont have a manual.

    Nice score. I want to get one of those for my collection. I don't think that the hour meter is Honda. I have not seen one like that befor.
