350x with a 200x frame ?

[williewonka]

so i picked up that rebuild 200x that is was talking about just need a piston that so im boreing it .4 over and puting on the 300ex hubs on her as well. but i got two more questions to ask is there any thing else yall can think off wat i can do to her, i'll be usen her more for trails and a bit of dunes/mud and the secound question is i also got a parts frame with no motor in it i just need front forks, seat and a motor so i was wondering if i can put a 350x in it or even a 300ex motor ?

no the biggest factory motor is a 230 for the 200x. 300/350 motor is way too big and would require alot of welding

you will cut up the frame so bad it wont work. i had HREATV.com do alot of work on a 84 200x for me in 2007 and i asked this question...a 250x/300ex motor is the same size as a 350x motor. you can run an older xr200 motor in it, 1981-83 will bolt up perfect. also no one realizes somthing i ran into with swaping motors...the 200x has a tiny narrow frame. i had a 300ex style swing custom bulit by HRE and it had to be offset almost 1.5" to get sprocket to line up. with larger motors you will run into this and would have to shove it towards the right had side.

all in all just stop thinking right now, get a 350x if ya want one...its sooooo much easier.

lol id love a 350x or even a moded frame with the 300ex in it just realy hard up here in canada to fine nice trikes. and to boot even harder to fine a nice big motored one like an atc 250r tri-z or even tecate let alone a 350x lol. i had a tecate but had to sell it caz the gf(f**k her lol)

[oldskool83]

if i build a trike again i am going to use a 300ex and cut the front end off...it looks to make a nice trike...why do i know cuz HRE and me looked into it and i own one!

had a tecate but had to sell it caz the gf(f**k her lol) If my girlfriend told me to get rid of my tecate, she would be the first one out! See what happens when you let a chick like that stick around, she is gone, and so is your wheeler!

[williewonka]

yep but im getting a new one

If you want something old, but new. Find a 350X frame and swap in a 300EX ,motor. Basically bolts rights in. Just did it myself.

[oscarmayer]

why drop in a 300ex into a 350x frame? your probebly not going to find a roller, so why not just do up the 350x engine?
I can see a 400ex but not a 300ex unless you have a very trashed 350x motor.

[Roastm3]

Actually I just bought a complete roller 96 350X minus forks for $40, I also bought his nice complete 85, which is why the deal was there. the 300 bolts in, the 400 won't fit. I am just saying if the guy ( like myself ) wants a quad that he can ride daily and get parts for easily, a 300EX motor IMO is the way to go. You can build the motors up nicely and make good power with them too. I'm keeping all my X parts for the restore on the 86, and back up parts.
