Soo I acquired a Big Red

[itsjacob]

Basically what the title says, have no history on it other than the PO was throwing it away, which puzzles me because it's literally 99% complete, the racks are both rusted and the gas cap as well but no rust on frame, and the rear plastics have seen better days, i did see a yellow sticker that said helmet holder, and I've seen some talk of one, are these hard to get parts? Here's some pics I got right now because I picked it up on my lunch break. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170131/066bd09c709a1455ecb6abba43c938a6.jpg

Nice score! Wonder why he was throwing it away? I have always wanted a 250 Big Red. Looks like it needs a bit of work but should clean up nicely. Does it run?

I'll give you five times what you paid for it...

Nice score!

Is the gun rack Honda ? I'm thinking it is .

I have no idea but it does have the helmet holder, and I got to sputtering today, need to get the electric start going and burn all the old grud left inside the engine, fresh oil, gas and spark

I am not all that knowledgeable of the Big Reds, but replacement parts arent to hard to get I dont think. I know from my buying experiences with my sister's Big Red, that the racks, headlight assembly, tool box style fenders are some of the more expensive parts. OEM plastics and tanks i believe are the more expensive parts to source. Everything else should be fairly simple to source and find for a good price.
