Ohtsu H-Trak R 903's

[Beerside]

I was at the Big 3 Vintage car swap meet at Qualcomm stadium last weekend in San Diego and among all the vintage car parts and junk there was a lot of old 3 Wheeler parts and vehicles scattered among the car parts. I found a nice set of R 903's at the far end of the swap meet. They were mounted on some gold anodized Douglas wheels. I always wanted a set of these to throw on my 250R for riding up and down the driveway and such. So I was pretty excited to get these for 30 dollars. I was just worried if they were going to hold air. Well after one week the 10 psi I put in them when I brought them home is still holding. The funny part about this was as I was carrying my new wheels back to my truck I walked past a guy who yelled over to me and asked if I wanted to buy another set. I was confused at first by what he said but then noticed him pointing to a stack of 903's in his piles of junk. I couldn't believe it!! They were just tires, no wheels. I checked them out and thought it over for a second. He wanted 25 dollars and I got him down to 15 bucks! So I carried my first set to my truck and came back and got the second pair. At first look I thought they were perfect. They were exactly like the other set I just bought except the size on these unmounted tires was 220/460-9. The 903's on the Douglas rims are 220/430-9. When I got home I washed both sets of tires and much to my dismay I found an ugly repair to the sidewall on one of the unmounted tires. And from all my experiences you can't repair a sidewall puncture. So my plan is to install an inner tube on that tire. I ordered one from Motorcycle Superstore. Im not sure how that's going to go but it's worth a shot. I'll post my results after this weekend. Here's a buch of pics of my score plus some pics of some of the piles junk and vehicles that I saw. Enjoy :-)

Very cool Beerside!!! I need to start attending swap meets here in AZ...you never know what you may find!!!

Was that a price tag hanging from that 1985 ATC 250R? It looks from the pic to be a Westcoast Swing-Arm!!

I see a Muge360 or Hondaline 300 cylinder in one of the pics.

ok unlike you guys i'm not exactly sure what's what or even what i'm looking at for most of it, but i'm curious about the yellow framed 185 and the 90/110 in the pic right above it.

boy, that YZ really brings back alot of memories for me too. wish i still had mine. :(

Finally put on the R 903's. I just left them on the gold Mitchell wheels they came on but eventually I want to go with the all polished look. I already got the front tire but I'm still waiting for the inner tube to be able to mount the one bad tire from my second set. I went ahead though and put on the good tire on a new polished Douglas rim and I'm not to happy with the way it mounted up on a 9X9 wheel. I wish I would of got the 9X8 wheel instead. The tire looks too stretched out by the extra inch of width. By the way, does anybody have a No-Mar tire changer? Best thing ever!! I highly recommend it!!
