1985 Big Red Gets Some Upgrades!

The 1985 Honda Big Red 250ES, my prized possession. This is really a do it all machine, from the farm to the trails this three wheeler has brought many smiles and it is a machine that I plan on keeping for years to come. Although I love and appreciate it as it is, I plan on adding some modern amenities to make it more useful in the modern age.
So in today's video I start out by replacing the old, worn out OEM grips with some ODI lock ons followed by a seat cover installation courteously sent out by an eBay seller you can check out in the link below. We also added a couple lighting upgrades and Alexis gives you a full walk around of the trike!
We end up going on a cinematic adventure coupled with drone shots and beautiful scenery. I bring the camera back out when the sun goes down to give you a complete look at the LED upgrades!

It’s a rare thing to find them in that condition so I totally understand those who want to preserve a rare find. On the other hand, every dent is a story. Every scratch is a moment in time that is to be remembered. I don’t wana go through life with no scars. That seems like a boring nerf life. Enjoy it for what it is. My first ride was a 185s ATV. It shaped who I am to this day. Looking back, that thing was a death trap. But I loved it. It was freedom. And my parents were badass for letting me rip around on it. Some kids never even go outside, how sad. I say enjoy it as it is. It won’t let ya down and the memory’s should be clean and original.

First year for shaft drive. I had an 84 and 86. Never let me down and went everywhere,

[@Tanneenkrss]

There is one thing missing; the reverse button red R cap. You have to!

[@TrikepowerQuebec]

Nice

[@jakesmith6017]

got one to restore today, cranked on first kick. Im trying to put a restoration list together. Needs a new muffler bad, the one on it has a massive hole. New seat new grips new plastics. Want to clean and refinish metal parts as needed. Not sure best order of operations.

[@adamfields1362]

Love the Big Red videos! Keep up the good work.

[@STONEDARTphotos]

Great drone shots.

[@johnpowell9261]

Nice channel glad I found it..loving the 85 big red..I've got a few myself...enjoy and have fun. Thanks for the content

[@Ronin8451]

Looks like Lex loves it as much as you do! Definitely a keeper!

[@majorleaguesurfing]

Great looking Big Red!

[@jeremyhallam5392]

YES! MORE BIG RED VIDEOS! I wired up the light bar on mine the same way, to come on with the high beam. The only difference is that I used a small one the just fits between the bottom of the rack and the fender. I think you should preserve the OEM plastics. Just look at the asking prices for junk ones and you may change your mind.

[@wuttmodel3232]

Verry cool sir

[@f-22raptor64]

3-wheeler catch and cook sounds like a sick video idea 🤟🏼

[@carriagehousewerks844]

Great video ! Love the three wheeler content too 👍

[@TWA_HoleKutter]

Hell yeah, showin' Big Red some love...I'm diggin' it!! That seat turned out nice. From where I'm sitting it looks like it's in awesome condition, you got three wheeled gold right there. I think you can have fun on it without beating the hell out of it but if ya gotta send it, send it LOL.

[@emfelling8384]

wow man your big red looks great! love it

[@VinnyV_01]

Looks good man. I like the light bar switch that's cool.

[@geewhiz289]

Keep running the stock plastic in that classic ATV!!! Looks great!!

[@calebtws]

Relaxing video 🙏

[@AdventureDaily]

Glad you enjoyed!! Great feedback🙌🏻

[@davidelizabeth4933]

[@TheOutsideDev]

[@fsebs_junk]

Nice upgrades! Take it camping!

[@GamerFolf]

My favorite ATC as always

[@jesusbloodneverfails7437]

Awesome

[@hexhead5732]

Big red is alive looks great perfect for night riding 👍

[@therealrealshocker]

She's beautiful :)

[@farmallchris]

Love the big red I would keep them plastics on it for now they look great

[@barthutchison4207]

Nice seat cover in your thumbnail 👌

[@shankdrummer06]

Dude I love that flag pole. Need one for my truck.

[@rider7806]

Great job with the upgrades Tanner. Might want paint that cage around the headlight otherwise it's bitchin!! Live long ride hard and get layed.... Peace

[@rickreasoner8664]

Camp-out with big Red; Yes Please!!

[@rdizzo1313]

The ding at the beginning.....👌🏽🤣

[@billcotton1551]

The seat came out great.

[@AdventureDaily]

Thank you Bill!

[@brock436rm125]

Where is that seat cover from? I seen one like it on eBay and want one for my 86 big red but wasn’t sure if the eBay one was good quality

[@THSGUY]

Alexis looks very comfortable on 3 wheels.

[@Flisix]

i cant wait for the snorkel video you should also get some nice mud tires for it that'd be sick

[@Gillysfishing]

Bro i have the twin of that trike here in Australia.. But its a Super Red 250es and in identical condition of yours.. Great vids

[@harrynut3044]

Big Red looking good....so does little Red, LOL..shout out 4 Lex :) . Dude, that thing would look hilarious with some Hub Cap Spinners on the back rims.....20 bucks at Track Auto...do they have Track Auto anymore? IDK, lol. Honda killed it with this model...the removable head light is brilliant. The light stick is cool. Since you went that far, you should mounts a couple LED's under the plastics to light up the Motor.....just a thought. Seat turned out Mint as well. You might need some Ape Hangers to get around your knees. Catch, Cook n Camp..good idea.

[@xjeepmanx]

Luv to see an overnight camp out

[@mrcla55yguy20]

As is because it looks awesome

[@maritimebikes]

I’m so glad you didn’t snorkel her btw I got a mint 200es

[@firstamendmenttshirt4768]

Stroke it!

[@sameddy5760]

Odi rouge grips are the best

[@interglactc]

So it’s been a year. I don’t know if I could trade my new original grips for aftermarket. The original style are just so good! They are only @$13! Nice bike!

[@axehandle5144]

If y'all could get your hands on a Honda fat cat, that would make some awesome content. Just a random thought. Your videos are pretty cool. Keep up the good work.

[@bg9318]

The headlight could come off the old 350fourtrax too I had one and your right the light was poor compared to today's

[@keeshull8964]

Good first

[@ziekezang]

Adventure Daily needs some merch...hoodies, limited edition crocs, men's thong underwear...

[@petergrubb3037]

Nice Rig. Do the camping thing.

[@eithanlong1355]

We use to creek ride on ATcs

[@owensbama1923]

[@TedClearwater]

Honda nation

[@thepaintballnoob7982]

Yee yee

[@nickarpino9309]

As is. There meant to be ridden

[@ramiretz]

ride it as it is...... OEM is OEM ...... try to keep the orig parts in best condition as possible.... it seems Alexis loves to ride the big red.. so cute

[@theinsanetrailposse4371]

Ride it like you stole it. That's what it was built for.

[@Prototype_celsius]

Can you tell me how you put the led light on the front on?

[@sethdewey2121]

Why not change the stock headlight bulb with an led one as well?

[@daybot9592]

You should make a fat tire dirt bike with the parts of big red

[@anicekid]

No, you can't ruin a nice 3 wheeler

[@DenalisGarage]

Duude this is such a sick build. Thoughts on the CT110/CT90 even though i know you already have a CT125? I have an 81 110 that I rebuilt that is so much fun to ride around town but I want to start taking it on some trails and maybe do some camping with it, thinking the 110 can handle just about anything other than >50mph. Love the channel, trying to get my wife into riding as well and shes about the same size as alexa right about 5 ft tall... any tips for her getting comfortable coming to a stop/starting when shes gotta dismount the seat due to height? Thanks!

[@bamaxrvfr786]

Preserve the OEM. You’ll thank yourself for it later.👍😎

[@johnburnor9632]

Did you buy to ride or preserve?

[@thepaintballnoob7982]

You should put some paddle tires on the back I did it to my big red and I couldn’t get her stuck

[@thatoneguy2756]

The nipped grip is supposed to be on throttle side,with nipped portion for thumb throttle clearance

[@AdventureDaily]

They are both nipped my brotha.

[@colmscannell2448]

Anybody know where i could get back tail lights for one of these tryed everywhere cheers from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@cardwellbrosdirtbikediy1249]

Do the catch and cook

[@Ridendrty]

Ride it

[@brianpoole9860]

Better tires!!! More aggressive!!!

[@Energymat-Outdoors]

bro, do that camping.

[@Spartan375X]

I saw legs in the thumbnail and thought those were your legs, because yours stand out more for me for some reason and yours appear so much more often. lol

[@rdizzo1313]

By the way. My uncle has one of these With like 5 miles on it. If you are interested ill ask him if he is willing to sell it. 👌🏽

[@matthewmacleod3801]

Preserve the tank and plastics

[@RamseyHarrington-yh8bw]

As is

[@mudmafia2897]

Where’s the rubicon

[@skidoojoe9522]

[@lophloph07]

[@williamk4dplus]

[@KushKiddd]

[@AdventureDaily]
