My 350x project

[69-ss-396]

Here is my 1986 350x. I picked it up on super bowl sunday 2009. I had been looking for quite some time but could never find one for the right price. It was a good rider but was in need of some work so I tore it down in april and so far this is as far as I have gotten. I started with the motor and went .20 over with all new bearings, seals and cam. I have a goki starter for it so the wife can ride it when I finish my 250r. I blasted the frame and base coat clear coated it a nice gm victory red. I added a 300ex +4 axle and extended the swing arm. I went with a set of douglas 190 wheels on the front and rear. I will be adding some red plastic just because i like the color better and restore the stock rear plastic to put on for show.

Thanks yamaha rules69. I hope to some day add a 1986 tri z to my collection.

[Daltons200x]

thats a clean lookin 350 ya got there and with the goki starter should make a real nice trail machine. just dont go scratchin that hood lol. or that whole car in the backround for that matter.

[aldochina]

nice machine and shop!! looks great so far. Those white plastics are not original, so dont kill yourself restoring them.

[69-ss-396]

Thanks Daltons200x I sure hope I don't scratch that car. I spent 4 years restoring that sucker....

[69-ss-396]

Thanks aldochina. I know those are not orig. They were extra with the trike when I got it.

[Daltons200x]

lol well thats the good thing about the trikes. after restorin a whole car restorin a trike is like fast foreward, but just as rewarding at the end. nothin better than goin for a spin in or on somethin you know u brought back to its prime.

Very Nice!!! How do you like the +4 axle and extension?

[69-ss-396]

Not sure how it will ride but it looks killer.lol Good thing about the axle is I can adjust the width. I didn't go but 3 inches on the swinger so could still ride the trails and move around pretty good.

Nice looking project you have there.

[Roastm3]

I'm looking at making the same axle purchase too. Let me know when you take it for a ride of what you think. Thanks
