1987 Big Red

[Tacker]

Picked up a Big Red. Guy said it was a 1986 over the phone and he was asking $1200. I get there and look at the title and it shows it's a 87....The title is the original owners title and still has the dot matrix printer tear offs on it... Came with the owners manual in the lid of the trunk and originally the old man had the honda dealership replace the thumb throttle with a twist throttle so the thumb throttle was still in the bag with the thumb throttle receipt. I talked him down to $800 and I had these tires and rims laying around so I threw those on there and switched it back to thumb throttle... I'd love to find a set of the OEM tires if anyone knows where I can get some. Anyway... super stoked and just wanted to share a couple pics of me taking it out today with my son

looks great, looks like an '85 seat or cover tough, should be gray for '87, either way '87's are a tough find, congrats.................

He purchased it new in '86 so maybe he just thought it was a '86 and never looked at the title close... " shrug"

Just ordered a nice replica gray seat cover off ebay to get it changed out. Just got to find some Ohtsu tires now and I'll be ok with it as is unless I come across a good deal on some hondaline parts.

Great score!! Lucky!!

Super nice!
Are you interested in gettin rid of the mudlites. I have a 87 stock with original Ohtsu's. They hold air and are in good condition. I have been thinking of going in a different direction than stock. I know I will be stoned to death for saying that.

Very nice trike. Cool to see your little guy is in to going for a ride as well. Is that a deer hunting stand in the background? (coming from a fellow hunter)
