85R for $300

[Tecate Karl]

So picked up an 85r today for 300 guy said it had no spark well he was right but thats the least of the problems. This topend melted down piston is shot may need to resleeved got a real bad gouge in it and dumped the oil it was more like black water so that's where it stands other than the motor seems pretty sound will keep posted and I will get some pics up.

yea guy told me it ran before winter if it did it couldnt have been good I think he ran the wrong mix possible brought it home put the compression tester to her and yea 52psi was the top reading.

52 psi is mostly on deaths doorstep, its good to see another trike being put back into running condition. nothing like riding a bike that has been dead for a while.

nice buy! Good price for the condition. all considering!!

[Tecate Karl]

No i was not in my skivys I was in board shorts it was nice in the garage I had my fire place going in the house and opened the door and put the fan up made it nice and warm. think Im going to put a new crank in it and rebuild this one later for another project coming up I hope.
