Awesome machine!! I'd definitely recommend an auxiliary oil cooler and temp gauge since the front tire is blocking alot of air. Then throw a big bore kit and cams in that thing along with xr's only full exhaust. I have two 650l's one being stock and the other with mentioned mods. Night and day difference. I also changed out second gear for a shorter one and put in a taller 5th gear so she can run 100mph+. Again I love this build and wouldn't mind making one of these if you offered to sell some of these conversion parts.
I know you’ve made many different trikes and I’ve seen alot of them. Every time you make a new one it’s my favorite. I can’t think of any better engine choice for a modern day big red then a 650 that’s so badass. It’s so cool to see someone so passionate about big wheel bikes and 3 wheeled trikes. I grew up riding trikes since I was 8 yrs old on a honda 70 3wheeler with no suspension front or back lol. I love watching your vids keep doin what your doin. I can’t wait to see this finished. It be cool to see that next to a Honda 70, I think that the tires would be bigger then the whole trike.
I have 2 Honda Trx700xx...Because it love the big Bore Honda's more than any woman iv dated! I grew up on 3 wheelers and a Trx700xx 3 wheeler would b epic especially with the independent rear suspension...I wonder?? How that work?
long over due trike! XR650l has been around unchanged for 30yrs, tons of parts and aftermarket. People will be lining up for this when you guys make a kit
Perfect platform for a big trike ...had a new 1985 Xl 600 ..can remeber seeing trike kits available then ...30+ years later ..bigger & better ...good job
@@freedom7047 It's a 650 single, so ya, for low end torque there is not much better in an atc. Stock big red is around 14ftlbs of torque, 650 is 48. In case you are not an engine guy torque monster refers to initial pulling power from idle, not top rpm sales brochure engine torque specs guys brag about but never use.
Dude, first video of yours I've seen, just now. Totally called it on the type of engine u used in big red, w/ just a glance. That made me happy. I'm subscribing now. i hope to get a phatt scatt of my own one day. Thanks for the inspiration
Love what you guys are doing I grew up on three wheelers. Me and my brother made brackets and bolted up a three wheeler axle on an old rm 250 twenty five years ago and it was the sketchiest thing you’ve ever seen. Your trikes are so cool.
I'd LOVE to see a pic of that too! Wish I had some pics of the 'Fatter Cats' we made out of a few 185s and 200s's back in the 90's- man, the parts were SO plentiful back then! A buddy that owned a 'salvage'/M/C used parts biz used to throw out SO much 70-110-185/200-200X stuff back then, he'd fill the dumpster like once a month with everything from wheels/tires to decent plastix- NO ONE wanted the stuff then... people would drop ATC'S off for him and just leave it cuz he had so much already, he'd tell them he didn't wanna buy it and they'd just jump in the their trucks and leave the ATC as soon as the phone rang or he walked into the warehouse for something. A few times, he showed up on Tuesday(closed on Mondays!) and there would be a trike or few blocking the door to get INTO the shop LOL! Crazy to think about how many ATC's there were back then. Here in S. Florida, back then, 110 and 185's were unrealistically plentiful... you could buy a brand new ATC110 for $599 on sale at the local Honda dealership! With labor and parts costs, if a 110 and even 185/200 'blew-up', or more like 'wore-out'(a blue smoker) back then, a piston kit, head freshen-up, timing chain, gasket and front sprocket(always did sprocket replacement when you'd go that far into the cases) it would cost $500 or more... so it was easier and realistically more cost effective to just REPLACE the entire thing- they were basically 'disposable' for a good few years throughout a lot of the 80's! WOW- I went off on a tangent LOL- Well, the short of it was- frankenstein-ing things back then was EASY and CHEAPER than cheap! I just wish I held the knowledge, tools and experience in fabbing back then as I am graced with currently. Now, parts and whole ATC's are kinda ridiculous mostly... or completely ragged out. LOVE your builds!!! I subbed for sure, look forward to checking out more of the existing content y'all have and new as well... THANKS!!!
You guys are deffinatly onto something with this this is gonna b awsome think of all the other xr models out there to make modern reds with haha keep it up guys and can't wait to see the quad kits aswell!
Hated that an it was restrictive. On some you could pull the baffle out. But the super trap was a great pipe an you could but more slots in it to give it that deeper tone. I never had a xr650 or 350x but dam near had everything in-between lol.
Just pull a pallet around your gravel with the big red. It will smooth it right out. Looking forward to racks and maybe a redesigned spotlight/ headlight.
In addition to my previous comment, I just did a dive on the XR650 and I was wondering when it was updated last. Still air cooled and carbureted, only five speeds, non inverted forks, that oh so 80’s speedometer. Blast from the past.
Nice workagain Fellas 👍 Now Please putan Exhaust on that thing 😁 I never could stand the sound of the XL's . Hey you ought see if you could make a street legal version 🤔 Back in 1987 we were on a major Freeway down by Hunnington Beach and low and behold here comes a guy up the on ramp on a Street Legal 1986 ATC 250r , had blinkers on it , a better tail light and a motorcycle license plate on it . He was ripping right along , it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen 😁 Another cool video bro , and really enjoy seeing the trikes you guys turn out!!!! Great work 👏👏👏
You guys really are doing God's work 💪🙏👌 If only I had an XR650R or even one of my old CB750's, I'd be dropping my bike off to you guys to make a crazy trike (preferably the 650R, but wouldn't it be cool to have a CB750 Four Scrambler style Trike? 😅
Clearly the 650 will blow away the 250. What a killer build, too! I love the old Big Reds, and to have a modern version with a monster engine would be amazing. The width of that front fork is so cool. I hope you pit the front and rear racks on it, too. Gotta have someplace for a cooler and a dead deer 🤓👍
Can't wait to see the final product ripping it up! The fit and finish of everything you've built so far has looked like perfection. I think I'll vote for the original when you play tug-of-war. No clutch might give it a slight edge. Its a tough call, cause dropping the gearing on your new masterpiece might take away that slight edge. I'm more sticking with the original because I turn 50 this year and us old farts gotta stick together. Have a great day everyone!
@@BVCOFFROAD It’s an enjoyment to view your remarkable builds getting Familiar with your crew, etc. I have a 2004 Honda XR 650 R also known as the ‘Big Red Pig’. Due to it is very thrusting! Johnny Campbell my hero! Was thinking about turning it into an ATC! I have a 3 1/2 gallon dessert tank. Not sure if triple clamps would hit when turning? Thoughts of cost ball park? Red Riders! 👍👍
I know its extreme but have you think about making one shaftdrive ? I mean the difference between an sx atc vs the bigred was the shaft nd his utility the 650 would be perfect with a shaft nd a hitch 😎
I seen a 400 ex with a 650 XR engine in it. That thing ripped so hard. Love the classics. Of course all mine the top ends where wore out from not running the right exhaust. I use to have many Hondas. Huge Honda fan.
Keeping 3 wheelers alive ! Thank You !
That looks cool, it needs a sutton oil cooler kit for the extra drag off them tyres to keep the engine cooler ... sweet build 👍

you guys are true craftsman
Omg it’s awesome thanks for keeping the 3 wheeler alive guys
I love this so much. I will definitely be building one as soon as your kits are available
Xr650l baby all day.
Just opened up you tube. And here it is.
Those XR650’s are EXTREMELY corked up from the factory. An exhaust and open up the airbox and jet change and it almost doubles the output.
That thing is SICK AF!!! Can’t wait to see finished product
Thank you!
long over due trike! XR650l has been around unchanged for 30yrs, tons of parts and aftermarket. People will be lining up for this when you guys make a kit
As I remember riding a three wheeler is one the best Ab workouts ever. Core of Steel.
💪🏼
I just got a 21 650L. Now I need to get my hands on one of these kits! Haha
👌🏼
Perfect platform for a big trike ...had a new 1985 Xl 600 ..can remeber seeing trike kits available then ...30+ years later ..bigger & better ...good job
Next is an Africa Twin automatic, with 3wd capabilities....yes....from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
Sure would be cool
the 650 is the build ive been dreaming about for years.
also the atc community needs a replacement fork solution for the big red.
I’m so glade you guys do these builds. I would give anything to have one.
Gear it down and add racks. Badass
Definitely looks insane! Only thing is, it doesn’t really sound good…needs a better exhaust.
It actually sounds like a big red. Its fine
Sounds like a big red 🤣
just needs air box sealed lol
I agree it needs a good fat pipe on it
Very excited to see how the Big Ol Red turns out!!!
Excellent ! gear it down , and can't wait to check it out next ! , good luck 👍
Hands down favorite build. The Mega Red!
Going to look sick with the fenders.
Love the Fat Cat. Rode one when i was a kid. Thx for the awesome content
The new big red is awesome love all the trikes you guys make
Torque monster! Looks great! Louvered front fender might be a good upgrade to keep that monster jug cool.
lol the 650 with torque? are you serius llol

Awesome. An '04 Big Red was my first of a few Honda 3 wheelers. I want one.

Nice you guys build many different set ups. A++
I only wish every riding park would let me take my trike I have an old Honda 250sx and I love it. Strong reliable and pretty durable.
I love what you guys are doing. Killer builds
Thank you for the support 💪🏼💪🏼
Awesome build! Keep up the great work!
Everything u guys build I want it’s so sick
Mega Red is bad ass ! The ONLY thing I'd change is the OEM muffler to an old school Supertrapp slip on to get rid of the whistle.
Hated that an it was restrictive. On some you could pull the baffle out. But the super trap was a great pipe an you could but more slots in it to give it that deeper tone. I never had a xr650 or 350x but dam near had everything in-between lol.
As an XR650 and a ATC200X owner, THIS.IS.BADASS.
Thank you ! 🇺🇸💪🏼💪🏼
Amazing. I’m in Tennessee and this would be perfect for me.
The factory look of that is scary. I think it looks like Honda made that machine. Great job I would buy one
A thing of beauty right there.
Now I wanna see a XR650r 😀
^^This^^ and make it in supermoto trim!
Yes 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Please make a xr650l bigwheel!!!!
They should put the 650 in a 400 ex chassis.anbthey would be king of conversions. Lol
Just pull a pallet around your gravel with the big red. It will smooth it right out. Looking forward to racks and maybe a redesigned spotlight/ headlight.
Not quite Japanese engineering but American engineering.. Keep up the good work.
Here come the preorders.
Man what I would have did to have that along with my big red growing up deff sweet can’t wait to see the racks and rear fender on it
In addition to my previous comment, I just did a dive on the XR650 and I was wondering when it was updated last. Still air cooled and carbureted, only five speeds, non inverted forks, that oh so 80’s speedometer. Blast from the past.
Looks great. I like it.👍🏻
Its like the King Kong of Trikes!!!!
Mega Red Xr 650 is a beast!
Welcome back...
Welcome back 😃
These guys living my dreams
🇺🇸
Went to 14/48 on my XRL moves my big ass around real good now!
Definitely "BiggerRed"!
That's one Rad VF unit ..🤙
Bad ass machine !!
Absolutely bad ass definitely need to play with the gearing a little but it's sick for sure
Also I think it should have silver powdered coated wheels instead of black. Nice build guys!
Nice workagain Fellas 👍 Now Please putan Exhaust on that thing 😁 I never could stand the sound of the XL's .

I got 3 85s one 350 BBK. I love this got two sx's to.
Hell yah! 💪🏼
Thinking more comparable to the 350x ! Super cool !
A semi automatic clutch kit would be sick in that bike
Is that really a thing? I heard of recluse (auto correct won't let me spell it correctly). But that's not the same thing exactly.
Now that's a shop! 😃 I say call it huge red.
💪🏼🇺🇸
That is just awesome
I wanna make a Xr650l quad!
Looks pre good but those wheels and tires look cooked 😂🤙🏻
You guys really are doing God's work 💪🙏👌

Def needs beer holders… i mean racks
Coming along... 👍👍👍
#makeatcsgreatagain
Yes it is! 👌🏼
It’s awesome. Cant wait for the sport version. Hopefully it’s a kit I can install myself.
XR600R engine would be a true death machine
Super red
Y the straight shaft y not independent rear suspension👀
Like to try it with street tires
It needs a rekluse clutch.
Rm85 trike next?
I mean the rideable of a machine versus craziness.
With both machines stock the 650cc should win!
How much for the kit to switch my xr over to a wheeler
Tug o war!
Can the XR be street legal after being converted to a trike?
I am lost for words. Already thinking how many toys I have to sell to get one of those
Another great build! Any plans for a BW version?
Absolutely !
No reverse?

BIG RED XLR
Forman 450 fender and rack
You better add some steel racks to that 650 for added weight... It might be a lil bit more fair that way... Hah! I'd buy one if I had like $15000
The Bigger Red
That would be so sick instead of just dropping the gearing out is swapping the rear out for a Big Wheel.
Out of curiosity how much could I pay you to make me one?
do a r1 motor in a 3wheeler
Take those ridiculous looking mirrors off and you’ve got a sweet build there.
I need a 690 big wheel so freaking bad....😵
Do a gen 3 fuel injected KLR!
What a great idea!
If it only had reverse-
Its coming 👌🏼
