The time must have been 1983-84 bare with me I was 10-11 years old, so remembering 30 years ago might be cloudy.

There was a article in one of the 3 wheeler magazines that have 1983 or 84 Honda 250R, I think it was all blue with lots of chrome and it was a dune bike. It had some very different gas tank scoops in the story it said they were off a Kawasaki KLR600, black in color. I have read pretty much every page on this forum going back to 2002 or 2003? and did not see any pics or info on this mod or trike.
I looked online and they looked like 1986 Kawasaki KLR600 shrouds

Anyone have info, pics or remember this article??? I am going insane!

I never read the article or seen any thing like it on a 250r. I'll keep my eys open for any info. But I'd like to know how to make those shrouds fit.

Those are very similar to the MTX200 shrouds that were used on the HRC 200R bike.

Are you sure it was in a trike mag? I have a # of old car and the van mags and they did stories on custom trikes back in the day. I suppose you could just about make any thing fit as long as they are bigger than oem to start with. I do think I saw that trike though I can try to find the article.

I can't remember & its driving me nuts!
Pipeline Triker you may be right I read 3 wheeler, 3X4 wheel action, Dirtwheels

I was thinking it was black & white print, maybe- ATV/ATC news, cycle news? or It could have been in 4 Wheeler/Offroad mag?

I would think they would have been trimmed up by the tank & new holes were probably drilled.

It gave the trike that Liquid cooled shroud look. I think they kept the shrouds black, but I think the trike was blue with lots of chrome, maybe a custom velour seat cover.
I wanted to do the mod on our 1984 300R, but my father always liked the "sleeper look" So when you smoked a Banshee or Quadzilla up Olds they would stop & look for a NOS bottle shake their head and limp back to camp in shame.

Anyway I have searched the internet for years with no luck.
