    1982 250R acquisition

    I finally found a first gen R, after looking for a long time.
    It was rebuilt about 10 hours ago, newer maier plastic and rips pretty good. Picked it up for $450.
    I've got a couple questions: What do you guys do specifically for oil (brand/mix)? Also, right now it's got stupid Wolly Boggers on the rear, what would be a good general use tire for a first gen like this?
    Thanks in advance.

    When I bought my 1984 250R it had brand new 22" Shredders on back, they are a little big for my liking and I had some new 18" turf tamers on a set of 84 250R wheels so I put those on it and I like them a lot.

    The seat's not the greatest, and the pan is doing that stupid thing (warped or whatever) where it's leaving a gap between the seat and tank.

    On another subject, where the heck should the id tag be? I'm sure I'm being blind and stupid, so I thought I'd ask.

    Love to see pics of the trike with a +3 swinger! I wanna extend mine 3 or 4 inches!

    Hows it handle with the +3?
