Hey guys as you remember i originally came here with The 1983 ALT 125 with 22 original miles that was given to me as a gift. Well recently i came across a 350x on craigslist in not to bad shape and i offered the guy a 2 for 1 trade in which he accepted. I traded The alt125 which i got for free and my crf50 pitbike which is fully built i payed about 1,500 for it a couple months ago. The trike deff needs a good cleaning and some tlc. Iam happy with the trade i just think i may have lost out on my end a little. here are some crappy pics i took. It has a supertapp exhaust, the fender extensions, and the rear bar in which iam going to take off.

dude, you didnt lose a dime, thats a sweet pickup, with some cool goodies, I was eyeballing that, just to far from me, and i found one closer. Worth well over what you traded, plus like the guys said, these go up in value, if you keep em nice. and they are the badest trike to evr hit the woods!!:w00t: :beer

I would have done the trade to. You will enjoy the 350x alot more than the other 2 things. nice trike. I would buy a set of maier fenders for alaround riding and keep the factory ones with the flares for spring time muddy riding. My 86 200x had flares on it to, now it just has lots of holes.

Thanks everyone, apon further inspections of the trike its going to need a few things and i have a few questions. It needs carrier bearings, bars are slightly tweaked, and i would say pads all around. The front brakes are non existent no pressure on the lever and i did bleed the system already just doesnt have pressure on the lever and doesnt brake well. The rear does the job but i might as well get pads for that also. Still needs some more cleaning and work!

go to service honda, there prices are pretty much the cheapest, alot cheaper than bike bandit, and rocky mountain. Thats for oem parts any way, after market stuff is pretty similar between dennis kirk, and the previous mentioned. Check shipping too, some offer free shipping over 100.00 spent, which can save ya 15-20 bucks! I like to use oem mostly, except for bearings, some of the after market kits are probably better, and cheaper. Def. get oem cables if you need any.........just saw your edited post, but i'm not deleting after all that!! for future reference:beer
