LOL Who'd have thought? I guess in your defense, The chances of physically running into another Scrambler 250R/ES in the wild to compare was *zero* unless you're going to one of them there Trike Orgys. I wonder if whoever installed the forks "backawards" maybe did so on purpose in the late 80's since "this is how Dirt Bikes come now!" or it was just assembled out of some greasey totes & cardboard boxes like most of the "Super Rare" Production Trikes we rarely see. That thing sounds AWESOME! A lot better than my Polaris 500 4-Stroke Boat Anchor.
Yeah, it was definitely weird. The guy I got it from was another collector that actually had another one and he didn't even realize it either. The handling is night and day better though.
Glad that worked !
It was night and day different
