A few pics of my 350X which I just got running. Want to get the tank painted and do some cleaning on the engine exhaust, but i'm getting there. The 85 250R I got yesterday looks a lot better. Pics of that soon.

Very Nice, it is in pretty good shape as it is, what do you expect for just buying something used?

It takes a brave man to post up a ride with trailpro on it around this crowd. Sometimes I think they would rather see spare car tires on it.:lol: Looks great man! Cool speedometer also.

Nice grab, man! Don't let the comments about the TP's get ya down, IMO if it holds air & has a lil tread on it, I don't care what kind of tire it is, TGG.........

You guys crack me up. I'm a new member so someone is going to have to clue me in. What is the deal with the TP's? I am actually looking for some stock tires. These are 8" rims and are mounted backwards because the weld on the rims keeps the hub from seating properly. I took it out in 3-4" of snow the other day and had a ball with it. In other posts I saw that the TP's were getting some flak. Hopefully I can find a good ebay deal on some tires soon. Also, I thought the speedo was stock, but in looking at other members pictures, I haven't seen another x with a speedo. One last note, how many different headlight guards are there. I have not seen another like this one and every picture I see seems to have a different one.

They get Maxxis, Kendas, and Carlisle.

TP's suck. They are 100% guaranteed to get you stuck ;)

nice 350 man. that should clean up great. the speedos didnt come on the trike from the dealer, but where a hondaline option. Trail pros are a cheap extremely heavy walmart tire, thats why they get flack. I would look for some 9 inch wheels for the rear. there are several companies that made a headlight gaurd. i believe all the hondaline ones look the same except for maybe the cross bar config.

You are killin' me man, just killin' me. Just when I thought I was done spending money, I gotta go buy new tires. I need to fit in... and it's all because my parents wouldn't buy me that Members Only jacket when I was in 7th grade. lol

Yes, trail pros are heavy and the cause of most earthquakes in California. However they will get you around until you can get better tires. Nice 350X!!

I actually got it in exchange for some work I did for the previous owner. But I have put around 1K into it. New rear axle, axle bearings, rebuilt the calipers (front and rear), new brake pads, had the front forks rebuilt, rebuilt the carburetor, new filters, and have new tires on the way.
