So you know....the 250 Big Red came about in 1985. It was still a 200cc in 84 and a completely different machine.

What is the problem with the forks on it now? Could they possibly get rebuilt?

Best of luck to you

one of the shocks is busted and fell off when i took the front wheel off, forks are okay but it has proven to be a baffler as to getting the shock guts out of the fork. they are rusted solid inside the fork sleeve. i have not tried heat yet for fear of distorting the fork housing. i have a neighbor with other 250 parts but the forks do not match up with the one i need. if i could get the shocks out will the shocks from the other cycles fit the one i have?

thak you for your help

K2, not sure where you are located but, Hi ten sport between Anoka and Elk River may have the parts you are looking for. I know that they have a lot of older snowmobiles, motorcycles etc. I think I remember seeing a recent ad in the StarTribune for older parts from them. Apparently they are in the process of getting rid of the inventory that is just sitting in the bone yard out back.

Too bad they didn't have the parts you needed. They are really the only 'toy bone yard' that I know of.

No I haven't been out on the ice yet. I have two boys that play hockey (6 & 9 y/o) so I don't usually get out until early January. It just seems that things slow down and Momma is more willing to let me get out then.

they are located about 3 miles north of jordan on 169. been there before a couple times, i am not too impressed with them. PRICES are HIGH

Use a search engine and try Dennis Kirk ... they carry the shocks for most of the 3 wheelers... amongst most the rest of the parts for the machines. The parts are all new and the price is reasonable. I dont have any forks for that machine laying around, or know of anyone with them used. If you cant get your old shocks out, I'm sure theres a small engine, or automotive shop around that has the equipment to force them out, for a minimal charge.
