    some big red questions

    i just got a 85 250 big red
    it has no levers on the handle bars
    just 2 cables running up
    one is front brakes the other i think is reverse

    what is there from the factory?
    pictures pleasssee

    also what is the plug looking thing by the headlight?
    it looks like a wall plug in the house but one prong is the wrong way
    looks like this ( - l )

    thanks
    frankie

    Here is a page from a brochure for a 1985 Super Red



    you can find more pictures of stock bikes by looking at the ATC brochure site on the 3wheelerworld.com homepage

    There should be 4 cables, 2 right and 2 left. The two right ones are throttle and front brake, the left ones are rear brake and reverse detent release.
    The plug/socket is to give a 12v for powering accessories. There is another thread regarding this in Trikesylvania within the last week or so, http://www.3wheelerworldforums.com/s...ad.php?t=84987
    Oh, and got to love that brochure pic, how did it get there? No tyre marks!

    will the clutch/e brake lever from a 07 450r work for the rear brake/reverse lever on the big red?
