Can anyone help me figure out what this is?

[PoorBoyGraphics]

I believe its a 85 350x that has been converted into a 4 wheeler. but it looks like a factory job or kit. cause it is all not hacked together. and also it has some kind of tubular swingarm on it and i cant seem to find one for a 350x anywhere on ebay or google. also it looks to have a xr500 motor on it. is that a popular mod cause it looks like they did a great job on modding that as well. thanks Justin125077

[PoorBoyGraphics]

what is a nicholson frame???

[TatTooL23]

200x gas tank. also has dual rate works front shocks

[PoorBoyGraphics]

200x gas tank . that explains y it looks weird on the frame . do you think the 4 wheel kit will sell on ebay ? i wanna convert back to a 3 wheeler. Anyone know how much that kit is worth?

If that is a Nicholson, don't touch it....don't even think about it...lol. We need more pics from multiple angles.....

[PoorBoyGraphics]

It looks like a Nicholson frame with a 3X4 conversion. Hopefully it will unbolt, and wasn't welded to the frame.

[KASEY]

that is definatly a nick!!!!! pick i up if you can.... would like to see if its a nick conversion... if it is.. i think its worth a few bucks!!!!!

[PoorBoyGraphics]

i have already bought it . and the conversion is not welded at all its only bolted to the frame. i will post more pics this afternoon. thanks guys for all your help. if it is a nicks frame . any idea what its worth? thanks Justin

cool find!!!! a astro nick.... :cool: :welcome: to the site!

[PoorBoyGraphics]

Hey thanks Bryan. I love this site and everyone has been very helpful. I have had a few people wanting to buy this thing. but I think i am going to use the resources on this site and rebuild this nick frame back to a 3 wheeler which it was meant to be!!!!

trade ya a quadzilla project for it

[sledcrazyinCT]

I am not 100% on the company name hi performance atv but they offered a bolt on kit to convert trikes and it was priced at $1495 with plastics, wheels, etc. This price was from a long time ago I have the brochure somewhere I will try and scan it it was a neat concept!

Single pipe header, 200X motor too? I have seen some 350X "Astro" conversions around here pop up occasionally. Glad to hear it was a bolt on!

[atc007]

The engine is either Xl,or XR 500,early 80's.

do the front rims look like small trailer rims??

My bad, should have posted as ???

They do from the photo, grease cups and all!

[PoorBoyGraphics]

Its not a 200x motor. Its a 79 xr500 motor. I think it has a bent valve.

[dcreel]

If it was an astro kit it would be a weld on. The kit is a 3x4 conversion you can tell by the cheesy steel wheels and front plastic, and the fact that it is a bolt on kit. The astro kits used aluminum wheels.

[Modding_out]

Astro and 3x4 never could get those front plastics to look right.... The one for kawaski looks good. but all others look like after thought

[PoorBoyGraphics]

If this a Nicholson frame. What front forks and triple clamps fit it? any idea

[dksix]

I'm confused. Is the nicholson a custom built trike or a trike to quad conversion kit? If it is a nicholson should it be a trike or a quad? What is 3x4?

[PoorBoyGraphics]

Here are the pics plus i opened a new thread hoping to find out more about this thing. thanks guys for all your help
