Well I have been waiting for a nice big red to come around. I have seen tons of them in the paper for around 1200$ and they needed some serious assistance. Well this old guy has had this one since brand new. It has always been garageed kept and still has all the stock tires in good shape on it. The only down fall on this one was the tank. He said it was left in the sun and the sucked the tank in on both sides. So I will either find another tank or see what the auto body place could do for me. The brakes work super nice and the front would almost make it do an endo! LOL Well yet another trike to my list. I am back as a Big red owner for the 12th or so time hehehe. Now I just need to keep this one.

Hey thats one sweet big red. I got mine in a similar way (old person who had it in his garage). Cool gun rack!

Yeah thats a nice custom gun rack. Its pretty stout. I might just leave it on there to protect the front end alone. He basicly used this to bring the deer back from the woods and thats about it.

its always great to get stuff from older people, their stuff is always near mint, and they give you a great price. Sweet score scott!

Nice find.Add some rust and it would be identical to mine.I had the same gun rack as yours but didn't like the way it cut down my rack space so I converted it to mount to the handlebars.

Good find Scott. Hey, I may be able to fix that tank up for you depending on how bad it is. Let me know if you want me to do it. If your intrested, send me some good pics of the tank or post them. The only hold up I would have on my end would be waiting for a good day to paint. I will be painting my spare 350x tank soon, so I could slap a paint job on it too. :beer

Yeah I have a friend of the family that does the dent removal for cars and see what he can do with it. The stickers on the outside are mint, so I dont want to have to repaint and kill them if I can help it...........peace
