Just got an '85 sx!

No, it didn't say it shifted well thru all the gears, the only way he could possibly not admit guilt is that he said it was in "great shape for it's age", he also stated-"well maintained". Man, I'm really falling for this trike- I'll try calling from a different # & see if he answers. Thanks a TON, you guys are really supportive-TGG...............

All you can do is keep trying. I got my SX for $700 (check the "before" pics from the "SX Project" link in my sig. It only had cosmetic problems.. everything mechanical worked awesome. They are awesome bikes!! You'll soon want bigger bikes, though. I started with my dads 200ES Big Red and then wanted some more power, so I bought my 250SX and fixed it up.. the first trike I ever owned. Then I bought a 350X to fix up, and now I have a 250R! I bought the SX, fixed it up, rode it for about a year until I decided I wanted more power and then bought 2 more trikes within a two-week span. Its a disease!! You'll soon be seeing deals all over and saying "Oh man! I can't pass that up!!" and then going to get it..

When I finally get a camera & figure out how to use it, I'll post some pics, Ride Red, as far as the trans & the bum who ripped me off, well still no word from him, & I can't reg. a complaint till 2/25, so I put the trike out of site, so I won't bellyache over it till then- If it's within sight, I just can't let it sit, I wanna tinker w/ it, ya know?

I'd be steaming mad! The bad part about it is you leave him a negative FB on ebay he will do the same... I would put the trike back on the trailer and go back to the dudes house... CAMP out if you have to. If the tranny is messed up that isn't an easy fix. There's alot more involved than tinkering with it!) I would demand my money back... but if your attached to it and want to keep it... Demand some of your money back at least! If it were me the cops would be showing up for sure!!!

One thing I have learned (along with alot of other things on this board) is Don't buy a complete machine off ebay... you really take a chance of something like this happining. Especially with a 20+ year old trike I would never pay for anything that I have not gone over and checked out completely.. Think about it? That's asking for trouble.

Also If i were you I would keep it stock and ride it like what it was meant for. MUD!!! lol. the 200x front end has it's benifits with the disk brake but It's too lite. (IMO) I just picked up a nice one a couple weeks back and was contemplating doing the swap. But after riding it and finding out it wheelies just fine the way it is. I decided to keep it the way it is.




Love the username. I used to be a big flintstones fan!

Hey, that's cool, the real gazoo! yeah, I'm still leaving messages w/ this dufus, & I'm pretty sure on the 25th, when I can register a complaint about this guy that Ebay has a way of blocking him sending neg. FB on me. I know splitting the cases is no easy job, & might get expensive, so I'm looking @ for an entire motor(haven't posted here yet, but I will)- I've seen a few online, but I'll be sure to be thorough in checking them out, if I go that route- And yes, what I'm going to try & do w/ this guy is get at least 1/2 my $$$ back, if I hear from him, or maybe I'll get a couple of my larger buddies to come out to his place w/ me & "talk". He's a big stupid looking Jethro, who seemed like he'd start swinging fists, so I ain't going up there alone. I'll let you guys know what transpires, & thanks for your help, TGG...................
