Getting the new Big Reds ready,,do you think my racks are too big

[Northman]

Getting out of garage today the new 86 from last fall and the 85 a month ago. Do you think the rack would be bad ? seems front woould be good pushing bush. Also installed new headlight guards one orignal and one for a 200 with quick ties lol ..look o.k ?
ALso noticed on the 86 it had Ohustu tires but they are different tread than normal was that an option? Will be installing the foot guards I took so long to find after thier tune ups.

come on boys 60 visits and no comments as far as are my racks to big ? guess they are ok ? the front one will part the way , found 3 1985 big red 250 es all mint one running a little rough for 2400 bucks, arg my wife would kill me im torn but, up here I could sell one and get other two for 200 each

[AutoXer]

personally i am a fan of a BIG RACK!!!!! lol but i agree the front rack has got to go

[chau0046]

I think the front rack might be a bit big but i like the extended back rack. where did you find that?

[trikes4life]

The extended back rack is cool, I dont know about the front.

[daniel_250r]

in the tight bush you will be thankful for those biggins to push the brush out of the way

[mike1979]

Never heard of a rack that was TOO big ;)

[JustEnough]

I agree, a big rack goes well with the tight bush.

keep the stock "small" front racks and the big backs. the orange one on the front looks chinsy and the big one on the front is too much. keep em as stock as possible and depending on what you use them for you can find something to put on the small fronts. it is a great spot for a small winch. other than that they look amazing, love the stock utility big red look. very impressed and i cannot wait to restore mine to that!!!

I don't ike the big front rack, & that orange basket thing has to go!

[Beerside]

Im all about "keeping it real". But you definitely have some unique racks there. And a nice looking Big Red too!! Here's how I have mine setup:

I like stock racks....

[Northman]

Well I was thinking to chop about 12 inches of the big front rack but it goes in deep bush and the big rear end is a personal thing.giggle..
the orange coke rack thing will go tommorow when i put new maier rear fender set on the 85, I will try the big rear for a while to see how it feels..both racks only cost 99 bucks so why not try them, got a lead on a snow plow tommorow too i"m excited

[Northman]

racks were a set from princess auto $99 for both, handle bar guards $14,

Hey BR Dude, I bought it from the original owner in North Carolina, and this is exactly how it arrived to me here in San Diego. I payed a kings ransom for it but it's the cleanest, lowest hour ATC of any kind I ever saw so I bought it. Im mostly a 250R and 350X kinda dude. But I figured what the heck...I payed about 2500.00 if I remember correctly, yikes :-/

[Dirtcrasher]

I'll make a joke and say "NO rack can be too big, as long as they don't hang too low" :lol:

Anyhow, they look great and they do help get the brush away from your plastic and your tank etc etc...... I like em :D

[Thorpe]

^^^ Is that similar to the angle of the dangle is porpotionate to the mass of the a55?????? Do what you want... They are your trikes!
