Could someone please help me with the vin numbers?

Supposedly an '82 185
vin: JH3TBO500CC137851

Possibly 250r
vin: JH3TBO600CC116782

I bought a new plug, removed old gas, cleaned out carb, filled tank with new oil/gas mix and started the 250. It ram fairly weel, took it for spin around the block, anooyed the neighbors with the loud 2 stroke sound but hey, that's why they live so close right?

I can't wait to get it all fixed up and take it out for some serious riding. I would also like to get the 185 fixed for the wife so we can do a family ride sometime in the near future.

Are there any good parts catalogs or sites to start picking up fix-it stuff for these bikes? I need to get rubber pieces, cables, chains, sprockets, stickers, suspension parts both stack and aftermarket.

Any suggestions as to a very quiet close to stock exhaust system? I am looking to fix these bikes up close to stock for now.

Thanks for your help. I really enjoy your site!:thumbsup:

www.denniskirk.com has some parts for 3 wheelers. also try www.ebay.com and just search for Honda 185 and take a look at all the parts they have. Honda might also have some parts you need, but will be more spendy.
