- After picking up this barn find of a 1985 Honda Big Red, I immediately went through it top to bottom changing fluid and diagnosing all of the issues that needed fixed. Unfortunately the factory muffler was rotted and in my opinion beyond repair, especially for a machine that I want to use often.
So after searching for a replacement factory exhaust and coming up empty handed, I thought all hope was lost. But by the grace of God Mr. Eric Hanzel reached out and told me about his custom stainless muffler that he designed for the 250ES.
Well I have good news, we got one and in today's video we are going to be installing it.
UPDATE 5/1/22 - It looks like he is no longer offering them or taking a break due to the outpour of requests. I will update this again if I hear anything or he puts them back up on his eBay page.

Seriously that 3 wheeler is awesome, exhaust sounds great. Please take care of her and preserve that gem.

I bought this exact one from the same guy about 4 months ago on eBay. Haven’t heard it yet since I’m doing a full frame off build. Sounds great though. Glad I bought one
I have an 86 250es that starts and runs and drives perfectly for something that old. My lifelong hunting buddy passed away in January of 22 and left it to me. I've known the Trike since it was bought new all those years ago. It has been in our group of hunters all of its life. It spent the last 15 years on our trailer just in case we needed it to drag a deer out or a ride to the levee to get help if we got stuck back in the bush. We started it up a couple of times each year before the season opened then pulled it out to our hunting area and chained it to a tree just in case we needed it. It suffered from lack of use if anything. People say they are not safe, but like everything else in this world it is as safe as the driver wishes it to be. It needs an after-market fuel tank, and it will have another 30 years left in it I betcha. The old one could be fixed by the right welder though. That ain't me however. I use a plastic water bottle to test drive around the yard right now. Peace to you and yours and thanks for the videos. They are all helpful in some way or the other.
As a welder and fabricator for my entire adult life ( performance cars and motorcycle parts ) I can say that exhaust is beautiful and matches the stock appearance very well.
Where are you at. Do you do big red gas tanks
Awesome muffler and install. Tanner you put the video over the top when you flung Bobby Ross in the picture.. Super Sweet Video!! :)
Thanks Rider! Glad you enjoyed it😁
I need to find a guy to make one of those for my bike lol thing looks absolutely stunning 👌
Should have helped the carburation with a little more back pressure considering the old one showed it was more free flowing. 😁
Absolutely! Runs like a top.
@@AdventureDaily you need to get a new header !
I have the same one, picked it up directly, as I'm only an hr away from Eric. Fantastic muffler and quality. Better then oem!
Love the big red videos, my first time on any off-road machine was one of these they are a lot of fun. Wasn’t mine tho thinking of getting one if I find one for a good price.
I'm down to get in a hot tub full of baked beans with you.
Oh, the new exhaust... so pretty!
Pretty sweet exhaust.
Nice sounds great I recon you should keep it since they are more collectable now.
You gota love that sound of the exhaust pipe at end
You've gotta real gem bud!!!!
Went to the link looks like the exaust is no longer available
What a beast, love it!
GOOD night
When i saw the camo crocs i knew you were real.
I have an 85 big red. I’d like one as well.
Is he still making these??
Hell yeah🤙🏼
Are those mufflers still available my 86 trx 250 muffler is rusted out n that would be sick looks deadly on the big red
Great video, great wheeler
5:40 LOL lol 😂
love your channel
Thanks Wayne!
is he still making them exhausts i have the exact same bike and i want to exstore it
How do we get a hold of eric hanzel if we would like to buy one
The link no longer works, anyone have an updated listing on this exhaust? TIA
Is Eric still making these? I tried the link but it didn’t work, and I can’t find it on eBay either. Thanks!
me too
Me too
He’s still making them, I just got one today.
Good job weston !! Is she broodie??
Could you please tell me where to find a front fender luggage rack?
Did you get your toes with the pressure washer at all? lol that part made me remember doing it as a kid when I was helping my grandpa with houses. This things looking good that mufflers is badass he did a great job.
Cobra made a aftermarket exhaust for these back in the day but from what I heard it was kinda loud so you probably wouldn’t of liked it
I just picked up a pristine, barn find 250es. I definitely love that exhaust. Would your guy sell me one? It looks super sick!
Very nice Fart Pipe. I'm curious how it rides with those tires. Looks like it should do well.
Mine has similar tires. With 2.5 PSI in the back and 3 PSI in the front tires it rides like a Cadillac.
Rides pretty good! Horrible turning on pavement though.
Is that muffler not available anymore?
Hey dose anyone know if that muffler would fit on a 200e ??
You’re missing two knobs under the seat called fender knobs when you takeoff your seat you will see there’s two holes on your rack to knobs are supposed to go down in there to hold the fenders down
these seen to be NLA on ebay, is there a source you can share?
Those Crocs are Osha Safety Standard ?
not smart enough to find links need eric hanzle contact info. need one of them exhaust mufflers.
Hola

Thanks man and it's a 1985!
@@AdventureDaily np and looks awesome
That muffler is sexy😲😲😲👍👍

Hi
Hello!
13:14 huhhhh
nice big red! interested in selling the front cooler rack? thats the small square rack on top of the front rack... i also sell n trade parts for big red n sx if you need anything
Thanks!! And no I am keeping it.
@@AdventureDaily right on! Most rare hondaline part for 250es.. yours is the fifth one I ever saw . I have a new one
I'm in the process of trying to restore a clapped out 85... what kinda parts you have?
Why not buy a 250r?
I’m a utility guy with a clapped out leg.
Does this guy have a internet page that we can go to to pick up this Muffler
Maybe you know this but originally there is a foam “pre filter” type thing that goes over that metal air filter to keep any real fine dust out. If you do a lot of dusty area riding may be worth getting one but I know many many who don’t and have never had an issue regardless
Yes I am aware! I'll order one soon I like to keep my filters fresh.
My big red needs a muffler someone beat out the original one and its way to loud
This video should be 5 min long.
Thanks for watching🙏🏻
Link no longer works
DEATH back to LIFE well done what crime to let that nice 3 wheeler go to crap, hope you can show the orginal owner.
