Big Al's Performance Products

[mopar_man]

I'm sure someone out there has a catalog but let's see what you have. I picked this up off of eBay a couple weeks ago for $14 shipped. I attempted to get it on tonight but was unsuccessful. I got it onto the aluminum sprocket cover but there's an indent in that cover required to clear the fender and the case saver doesn't have that.

Those case savers always require some tweeking to make them fit right . They can also be modded to fit the 200x . They made them for the 90/110 also . I'll have to dig threw my parts I'm sure I have tons of old BAPP stuff .

[Vealmonkey]

OK shortline, rub it in. LOL I have a couple bits. Anyone with a BAPP aftermarket 90/110 intake has a Big Al's product and they may not even know it.

[shortline10]

Here are some of the Bapp goodies for ya Mopar Man .

[Mr_RPM]

what is it?

[Vealmonkey]

Nice little pile. You've been pulling out all the goodies lately haven't you? Is that a 90/110 chain tensioner? And that white brothers pipe cap for the supertrapp was pretty trick too. I've got to come down and see your goodies the next time I visit my buddy in hollywood.

Door is open pat . . Yes that is a 90/110 tensioner , its the HD one very trick .

[shortline10]

This is all I could find for big Al's . I don't think they sold directly to the public so to get a catalog would be a dealer only piece .

[Vealmonkey]

Oh man, that's trike porn to me!!!!!!!

[audioworks04]

We still have a set of Big Als paddle tires, the first paddle tires that my dad ever saw so he picked up a pair. They still hold air and have all kinds of paddle. They have ALOT, 15 or so, of less than 1" paddles. But they work great on machines with a lack of power.

[shortline10]

Looking for other parts this morning and came accross these as well. The BAPP 200x Piston was made to Curtis Sparks specs and was 13:1 compression very trick part .

[Dirtcrasher]

WOW - I'm so glad a few guys SAVED there stuff from years ago.

I think some of these guys that raced said "well, trikes are banned, so why do I need this CalFab, it's worth 10$ in scrap!!" :lol:

Knuckleheads.......

Including Vealmonkey, you guys have some nice rarities!! And some of them didn't come so easy..... Thanks for sharing :beer

[mopar_man]

Cool stuff. Thanks for sharing!

[factoryX]

keep the pics coming, I need my fix...

[shortline10]

keep the pics coming, I need my fix...

Yeah Veal were is your stash LOL . Digging for other things and found a few more pieces . Some metal pegs and rubber pullstart handles and some mushroom red grips .
I remember Bapp making some really cool stuff back in the day like chrome pull start covers and quick change sprocket covers . Front suspension kits / frames / turbo wheels .

[factoryX]

words about hard to find aftermarket goodies can not fill the empty void of my drug habit.

[Vealmonkey]

Alot of my stuff has been posted on the site before. And not much of my stuff is Big Al's. I have a few NASA bits too. Some of my neat pieces have been acquired in the last year or so, like the Johnson electric start, which wouldn't really count on this thread. I dig seeing other people goodies. Not many people have my taste for the more eccentric of the trike world. LOL Other people on here deserve the chance to show what they have. I'm really digging this in a big way. Keep it coming everybody. And Shortline, I'll try to give you a little warning before I coming knocking on your door. LOL I hope I can borrow you for the day so I can really check out some of your machines.

[shortline10]

More trike porn for ya and Veal make sure you cover the monitor with some cellophane LOL:D

[greenhuman]

I went to see BAPP back in 1982 and got some freebies. The guy then took me into his office and sat me down and asked how many parts I'd like to buy. I said how many do I have to buy and he said we could start off in the 30 - 40 THOUSAND dollar range. In 1982 dollars thats about 4 million bucks today. I told him I would have to give it some thought and went out to the motorhome and changed my undies.

[big yeller]

a atv scrap yard in my area had some big al's performance products for trikes on his shelf, i think he had some piston kits and some misc stuff.

Hummm dont here that often .

[bigpimpin]

shortline do you have a rabbit in your hat too? the stuff you come up with is amazing

[Vealmonkey]

Is that a Winnebago?! I should use that as my wallpaper.
Secondly, why would anyone tell the story of Big Al's parts sitting on the shelf, and they left them there???
I know people only like things if they are for 250rs. This stuff doesn't grow on trees you know. And granted, most of these parts would be like hi performance parts for a model T, but this stuff isn't being made anymore and hasn't been made in awhile. Do you know how many people who I have talked to that threw cases and cases of this stuff away? And not just 90/110, but 185s stuff too.

[big yeller]

i honestly didnt know they were rare. i see now that they are very hard to come by.

[tri-shee]

i honestly didnt know they were rare. i see now that they are very hard to come by.

Hey Big Yeller , Where are you located in texas . What is the name of the atv scrap yard . I live down here around houston . Let me know .

[Vealmonkey]

Oh well, those parts will be gone now. LOL And don't go showing off on here when you get them. LOL

[shortline10]

A board member asked me what a atc90/110 big Al's aftermarket exhaust looked like so here it is . I believe they called this a BAPP Stinger . Not much of a baffel but they sound real mean :twisted:

[rdlsz24]

What ever happened to BAPP? Why aren't they still making parts for quads or bikes?

Rob

[Vealmonkey]

Shortline, I have a pipe real close to that, but no baffle on the end. All it has in it is this old spring loaded aftermarket flap that you could adjust to give you back pressure.

[shortline10]

Thats a new one for me . Sounds like a good idea.

[shortline10]

I have no clue as to what happened to BAPP but it seems like it all disappeared around 1986/87ish .

[Vealmonkey]

What ever happened to all the Big Players in the trike golden years? PCCC? Nicholson? Johnson? NASA? Where are they now?

[HONDA_ATC_FREAK]

shortline-those rims on that bapp trike are sweet. wish I had a set of those:drool: and that headlight to

[Vealmonkey]

PCCC made the turbo wheels as well as the cast aluminum triple trees. I have one of those headlights, but with a different mount. I also didn't think Big Al's mad the rutt ryder, but there they are in the picture. I had one but it's sold now.

Wow very nice !! Thanks for the pictures , now I need to clean my keyboard/monitor LOL

I have one of those lighting coils with the 3 wires , I know 1 wire is for the motor and the other 2 are for lighting so does that make them 75 watts each wire = 150watts total ?
Hey that rutt looks very familiar :D, I believe the rutts were made by Dickson design and development

[HONDA_ATC_FREAK]

You guys have some sweet stuff there I'd love to have a set of those black turbo rims on my 200 but I'd probably damage them. That and I probably couldn't afford them anyway. What is the name of those rims? What are those weird forks and what is there purpose? sorry for the stupid question just not old enought to know about the 3 wheeler racing scene.

[Vealmonkey]

The rims are PCCC turbo rims and they came in several colors. They are cast aluminum and heavier than the spun aluminum rims of the time. The front end is a "Rutt Ryder", and I'm pretty sure it's the earliest suspension front end, least wise as I remember. There was another front end that was similar to the "Rutt Ryder", but the name escapes me now. I also think the "Rutt Ryder" had a second generation front end, but that was a while ago. LOL I don't have any pics of my old seats with the funny tops like a couple people have been looking for lately. Come to think of it, I don't have any pictures of my "knock off" rear nuts either. I have to get some more pics. But since this is a BAPP thread, I don't know if it would be appropriate. But I think Big Al's had a couple of stores where they sold other companies parts though. I have to get a couple pics of my Johnson electric start as well. I'm not sure if we should start putting pics of all the aftermarket 90/110 parts in here or start another thread? Aluminum frames, suspension frames, other aftermarket intakes, real wheelie bar kits and such.

[HONDA_ATC_FREAK]

man I had no idea there was so much stuff out there for the 90/110 kinda wish I still had mine.

[Bryan Raffa]

nice ,,, Veal thanks for the education! I would have never Known,,,seriously thanks...

[Vealmonkey]

Well, the 90 was hondas longest running production trike. Except for small changes, they didn't change much from 1970 until 1982. Parts would interchange. You could use a 1979 rear axle assembly on a 1970 trike if you wanted and other things like that. So naturally alot of aftermarket parts would interchange as well. They raced honda 90s, way before the 185s or 250r hit the showrooms. All the big names started racing atc90 and some atc70s as well. Once the 185s hit the scene, things really started to change fast and the 250r pretty much started at the same time or slight after. Once the 250r hit showrooms, everything changed. Aftermarket frames started showing up with rear suspension and all kinds of stuff like that. There were aftermarket frames before, that took tons of dirtbike and even streetbike engines, but rear suspension really made the difference. In the sand, a hardtail didn't matter much. Everywhere else though, it was a whole new ballgame. And of course, the West Coast was where most of the action started, or so it seemed. There was East Coast activity, but not as crazy as things were out West.

[Shorty]

Hey veal do you want to sell that rutt rider front end? Or those red turbo wheels?

[Vealmonkey]

A member on here already has posession of the Rutt Ryder front end. Another member on here has posession of the 4 bolt turbo wheels and another member has posession of some of the 3 bolt wheels. The remaining 3 bolt wheels I have are spoken for on a project trike. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. But keep your eyes open on ebay, they do pop up on occasion.

[Shorty]

Uuuuummm well do still have the head light?

[90crazy]

Here's a couple bikes full of BAPP goodies.

[shortline10]

I have a couple Big Al's hats from back in the day . Need to post some more pics .

[shortline10]

A few NOS 1980's Big Al's hats I forgot I had . I think they came in black and blue also

[90crazy]

Just picked this 90 motor up and it's got a bunch of goodies on it! SL90 hi/lo conversion kit and a BAAP vented dipstick and intake and big carb. Who knows what's inside! And the cool finned cover for the recoil cover!:cool:

[lardog]

[Vealmonkey]

Man, I keep trying to find one of those recoil starters, but no luck. Great find.

[shortline10]

No problem . Their simple enough I guess I'll just make one . Travis's motor is getting close !!!!!

[honda250sx]

Thats all them vented dipsticks are? Jeez. If I knew they were that simple I would tool up and smoke some out on the lathe. After all I am a machinist. Can we get some better pics of that finned recoil cover. Anyone that has one post them up. I know I can make this stuff I just need one to copy.

[honda250sx]

Can someone post better pictures of the finned recoil covers and vented dipsticks? This stuff looks really easy to duplicate. I have that kind of capability.

[90crazy]

I have enough of these to last a lifetime LOL . Enjoy..
I kinda figured that from seeing the posts of some of your goodies:drool:

[motoman1012002]

Hey, I don't want to steal this thread, but are those yellow fenders made by Big Al's, I have a set and have yet to identify them.

Edit: I'm referring to the pics posted by shortline in posts 8 and 18. the pics didn't reappear when I replied with a quote so you'll have to look back.

Not long ago I purchased this head light guard from a board member and it had a original Big Al's sticker on what I feel was original paint. That all got removed from sand blasting.

Raising a dead forum. I want to see some more of BAPP! That BAPP fork set up looks famliar. :twisted:

[Duner912]

I've got this Big Al's cam for an 83 200x . Would anyone be able to come up with some specs from the part number?https://photos.app.goo.gl/GcWSka2ZoSQHVbv58

[shortline10]

It should have a 1 , 2 or 3 stamped on it somewhere .
A 3 would be a 395 lift x 288 duration .

[atctim]

I've been collecting some BAPP stuff for a while now. I love this stuff. I've got a couple different old Big Al's hats too. I have the one pictured from Shortline with the neck protector, and this one, which I have never seen another of like it.

[shortline10]

Very nice Tim !!!!
Lmk if you want more lol

[ironchop]
