Since I was off work today I decided to drag out the 350X and get her cleaned up for Roger's (sandpuppi) ride next weekend.
Had to drag it out of the corner where it has been sitting for about a year now. Poor girl. She was very dusty and has been neglected quite a bit lately. After a quick once over I gave her a well deserved bath, changed the oil and filter, changed the fork oil, tightened and lubed the chain, fixed a small exhaust leak between the headpipe and muffler. While the muffler was off I gave it a quick sand down and fresh coat of high temp 1500. Made a few adjustments and fired her up. Three kicks after sitting a year. That's why I call her ole' reliable. Never lets me down.
This was my first trike since getting back into three wheelers from when I was a kid. I got it off Ebay about six or maybe seven years ago. Talked the guy down to $900.00. Added a PRM skidplate, New tires, fresh paint on the tank and put the stock muffler back on it.
Here's a few pics after today's pampering. I'm in the mood to see some nice 350X pics so post em up if ya got em.

No John, I believe it is a header for a Cobra set up. That is what was on it when I got it. The Cobra muffler is waaaay too loud and does not have a spark arrestor.

Rick - she looks good - real good. You better start riding her a little more or she may get a little irritated from all the neglect - J/K.

Here is my 350X, my brother's 350X, and my friend Corey's 350X down at our cabin at the Hatfield McCoy trails in WV from earlier this summer. Never mind the 2 and 4 wheeled beasts that snuck in the photo!

You gotta love them danged old 350s!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice looking trike! I really think 350sx is one of the best looking trikes. I really like the split headlight.

Max, unfortunately the last Rumble is the same weekend as our anniversary again this year. We are heading down to Gatlinburg to stay in the same cabin we honeymooned in. Brown-chicken-brown-cow. It seems all the Rumble's fall on some event we allready have scheduled.

Imagine a week in this baby.

Yea Jon, I've debated pulling it off of there for safekeeping but I really don't ride it hard enought to worry about breaking it.

Oh by the way, Give that 350X of yours some TLC would ya.

That's a bunch of bull crap. I distinctly remember you doing a knarly one-wheeled wheelie/ doughnut on that beast. I have yet to see that done again.

C'mon Derrick, that was years ago before I got my other trikes. I about crapped my pants when I did that. Too bad there was'nt a cemera on me. I could'nt (would'nt) do that again if my life depended on it.

lol thats like me. im still really new to riding trikes. im much more familiar with being on a dirt bike or atv. i have 2 dif back tires on my new yammy. and she loves to wheelie so i im all over the place right now, it pulls to the left side cause of the wider tire on the left, i can see myself pulling something deadly like that by accident soon,

I wish i had a 350x! they are gorgeous bikes......

I wish Honda had put the twin piston caliper on the rear brakes stock though like the 250R's...

Here are a couple of my BFF / TLA.
The first is after my first ride on it (Feb 2008).
The other is from last summer during its racing days.

Since then I got a 250R for the track, and the 350X stays on the trails where it is at home.

I gotta tell you, if this bike wasn't such an incredible torque monkey, I would be laying at the bottom of a mountain on the Hatfield McCoy trails right now.

Well that may be, but it's still by far the coolest thing I have ever seen done on a trike!

That's about all I can contribute these days is still pics of my 350X from days gone by. I don't seem to have any time to ride anymore with traveling for work, kids' sports, school, and vacations.

Looks good Rick.
