Can't wait to see your build!!! I have a 185 and a 200s that I am going to do the same thing to. One will stay a 3 wheelers and the other will become a 2 wheeler. Both will get either Predator 420's or the DuroMax XP18HPE 18 Hp
This hurts my heart. But then again it's gonna be pretty darn cool. And that thing is in good shape in my area I that thing would bring 800 bucks with a new axle. Not running . Will be following for sure
Did I say we were upgrading? For a while I’ve wanted to fab up a mini bike with the utility style 250es big red front end. I found a junker big red that fit the bill. I’m not a professional fabricator so there was no way I was going to build a rear end that would work with the 250es shaft drive. Not to mention the engine was in questionable shape. I do however have a ton of experience with Honda clone engines. I have already built a go kart with the same 420cc predator setup. It’s hauls ass. I also own two other big reds. The 420 and 250 are very comparable on take off. And the go cart is way heavier than the bike.
Yup, I know this now. Thanks. She was my first atc. It’s a multipurpose lever for rear brake, parking brake, and reverse. Why Honda thought they needed two rear brake controls is beyond me. I have since bought 2 more big reds and love the crap out of them.

I understand the stock engine is tried and tested 30+ years, but I have no clue how to convert shaft to chain. I’ve used the predator 420 engine before in a go kart build, and I’ve always wanted to throw one in a bike.

mpython12 probably not idc but I still ain’t the one who put a predator on a big red 😂like let’s get honest who in there right mind takes a big red and thinks “let me predator swap this hahu
@@trevorashford1811 check out the last video of it. I get not destroying a Honda, but this was a clapped out POS that literally was headed to the scrap yard. It turned into a really cool build!
Yeah maybe. I felt pretty depressed when I got it home and looked at it in more detail. Then I bought two more decent shape big reds and found out the parts are $$$. So I made out ok spending $250.
Big reds don’t have a clutch, that is the rear brake on your left hand
There is a clutch but it's Automatic so no clutch lever.
clutch? what a mechanic.
It probaly would of ran, also my gas tank was in the same shape aplle cider vinegar took all of it off in 2 days you ruined a rare machine
agreed
Those plastics are mint
F’n eh Cotton! F’n eh!
I have an 85 big red 250es myself and I thought mine was a little rough till I seen this 86. Somebody rode the hell out of that one and put it up wet
Bring it back to life!

Awesome! thanks for tagging along. We will be filming the tear down tonight. Hopefully I’ll have that video up in a day or so.
@@nate32185 thank you
@@nate32185 yes please devon

Thanks for being open minded.
Haha. Thats funny. The 246cc engine makes 20hp with a 5 speed. Thats a downgrade bud!

@@nate32185 I like the build
I was about to say....ummm
what clutch....my friend they did not have a clutch... just left off then gas and use the foot shifter...

@@nate32185 and i am keeping it now
foever
would you sell the three wheeler
Too late. We tore it down to the frame in the last video. My intention has always been to turn it into a 2 wheeled bike.
@@nate32185 i have my own
I'll take the motor off your hands could use some parts lol
It's semi auto no hand clutch....

Some guy named "ricky" did all that welding
?
someone rode the hell out of that big red
why wouldn’t you just leave the tride and true original engine vs some cheap motor that will last 3 months

You paid $250 to much !

Bastardizing a honda older than you because you dont want to spend the money to fix it correctly.
😂
Uh, this thing is hammered he’s saving it from the scrap heap. It’s a great idea
Новый двигатель , ерунда у него нету мысленного насоса да максимально оборотов 5600 , а стоковй 10000 тыс крутит и у него масляный насос
