I finally acquired the trike I always wanted !!!!! You know the "unicorn" the Honda 250R....the same atc your parents would never let you have because they are too dangerous.........well I got mine for $500 !!!!! I plan on doing a complete restoration this winter including factory plastics as well as powdercoating.......please read more in the "gallery" under "domin8er" to check ouit the picture.....Everyone's been very cool here and I happy to be a member of this very friendly board !!!!! Any Indiana riders don't be shy !!!!!

 

it looks good enought that you dont need to resotore it,

 

SWEET DEAL !!!!!! $500 for a 85.....I would have jumped at that chance too!!!!!! Congrats!

 

You did well for that 3wheeler and only paying $500.00 makes it about the sweetest deal that I have seen.

 

Hey Mark you have quite a nice "stable"......nice to see a different color paint scheme on your trike.....Where can I find a CEET seat cover for an '86 250R with the letters "ATC" on the cover ???

 

They are no longer made. I picked them up on ebay, by searching for 250R seat. The blue one came already installed on the seat and the white one I bought new in the bag off ebay for $35.00. They pop up from time to time. The 86 250R seat said "ATC" with Honda in the back. Those are better looking than the stock 85 seat cover in my opinion.

 

Thanks Mark....I'm searching ebay constantly now that I have many new parts to acquire but if you happen to come across an '86 style cover PLEASE pass along the info......Thanks for all the help Mark.....also who makes a good aftermarket pipe that won't melt the inside of the rear fender ?? I have a set of cracked Maiers now and when I priced factory plastic ($350) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] I decided to do Maiers again. I have never seen factory plastics melted.

 

Hey Mark.....just searched ebay for "250R seat" and found two !!!! Thanks for the great lead !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I have melted the plastic on all three that I have owned. I use a Paul Turner expansion chamber and FMF pipe on one and FMF expansion chamber with DG pipe. I'd like a Paul turner Fat Boy Pipe for my PT expansion chamber. It is difficult to not burn that rear fender. Good luck on getting the wins on those auctions.

 

Thanks !!! Know of any decent 350X's for sale ????
