1484811399351985 Honda 250sx rebuild. This project took me about a month to complete and is my new daily driver around the farm. We drove an hour East into Chicago to pick this trike up from a guy who had a halo bolted to his head to keep it from turning from crashing his bicycle. His wife made him sell this after that I guess. Cost me only 175.00 and is probably my best pick yet.
The trike was in pretty bad shape. Had a completely destroyed front end, the plastic was cracked and missing everywhere. Two different size rear tires and rims, broken rear shock, and the carb was completely frozen.
I completely rebuilt the engine, bearings, seals, gaskets, timing chain, and a 350x carb. The frame and swingarm pivot has all new bearings and seals (that was a b****). Painted the frame red and the tank white. New rear oem shock and spring. 1986 200x front end with a white 1986 250r headlight that holds a 1984 110 headlight/lens perfectly (250r headlights for those years cost way too much on ebay). A new 1984 white 200x front fender that’s flatter in front to achieve a wider look that imitate the look of the original sx design along with the new white rear fender from Meier. I used 1986 Decals because I like the scheme more on those years. New rear 22” Kenda Dominator tires on 10’ ITP wheels and a Kenda Pathfinder in the front. A Napa battery a little gas and alot of small parts and she started right up after I smacked the starter with a rubber mallet a couple times.
