I love the how those bigass baja lights look. Definitely way better looking than a led light bar.

Haha seriously. I think about this a bit when I go riding.  Most everyone is on newer machines, SXS's, etc.  And you don't realize how rare it is to have these 30 year old machines that are still upkept and running.  Pretty cool stuff!

I believe the 4th post back (the quad with the big Ricky Stator sticker) is Ricky Stator and or Scott Prather at the Baja 1000.

Good eye.  It looks to be a wide XC style grab bar.  Unfortunately I do not have any other information on this one.

Holy cow I just saw the pic of that ATC fender tank thing. I bet it carries enough fuel to double the weight of the trike, that would be a suspension tuning nightmare!

DRD&D/Duncan Racing built CR500 powered 250R built for desert racer Carmen Cafro back in the early '90's.
