Looks pretty cool and has an old school paint job :drool: . I used Oakley grips back in the 80s on my race trikes . Maybe an old oakley sponsered trike ?

That was on ebay also.

"Brand new engine?? He says not rebuilt, but new."

now that would be cool! if this is true its probably worth all of the 800.00 hes asking for it.

[MonroeMike]

You think he would have cleaned that pipe up.

trailpro ?

[bandito90]

I can't say what it is?But shouldn't the headlight match the rest of the paint scheme.Also to wheels are different colours and it appears to have trail pros.But all that could not be original.Two grand seems an awful lot of money?Is there legit documentation with it.Has anybody tried to get hold of Oakley to confirm they ever made such a beast?

Front fender has been broken off at some point ? and moved forward to use some good plastic to bolt through back on th the forks ????

[dcreel]

I think the front fender is just sitting there for the pictures. I hope so anyways.. It does have an awesome paint job that is still in good condition. I wonder if it had a round headlight on it painted to match at one time? Old school seat, and what appears to be a Works shock (judging by the color). Braided front brake line. Pretty sharp.. Somebody has taken good care of that time capsule. Looks like it has a larger intake with a big carb (see through plastic bowl).

MonroeMike, is this thing still for sale? How much does he want for it? Are you in contact with him?

I just emailed him for pics, out of curiousity.

I PM'd you the info I have.

Depending where you look, that trike is $800, $2000 or $3000. That eBay auction was $800, then he listed it here (http://www.thehondaatc250r.com/classifieds/index.php?method=showdetails&list=advertisement&rollid=42&fromfromlist=classifiedscategory&fromfrommethod=showhtmllist&fromfromid=11) for $3000 and at the beginning of December, he listed it on Craigslist (http://maine.craigslist.org/rvs/1489885938.html) for $2000.

[dcreel]

I was really digging it.. not for $2K or $3K of course.. Then he sent me this picture..

What do you think it is worth now? Why would you install a new motor and then slather on the silicone for a nice tight intake to carb seal? The gas shutoff looks like it is for a natural gas shutoff. I'd like to hear more but $1K? I don't think so. I wonder if the carb inlet is too small for the intake?

Another one.

That chain sure is dry and rusty.

I thought the same thing. That half-assed job on the carb is something else.
