Finally done. Thanks to everyone who helped me with this project over the years. This bike has moved houses about 7 times (I was in the Army). I spared no expense, nor time in making it.... Everything is either new or retouched.

NOS: Engine, front forks, scoops, headlight, head pipe (ceramic coated), engine skid plate, rear brake caliper, rear wheels (from a 300EX), rear axle, kick starter, shift lever, head pipe heat shield, thumb throttle (300EX), petcock, chain guides, rear shock mounts, cables all around, most nuts/bolts, steering stem bearings/seats/seals, swing arm bearings/seals, rear axle (coated w/Glisten PC), front hub bearings/seals, all bushings.

New: Clarke gas tank, Maier fenders, seat (thanks Mosh), handlebars (OEM repro. - great), Scott Hurricane grips, headlight guard (thanks Andrew), Rad Twin-row carrier, RU Racing axle nut, Maxxis All-traks, Kenda front max, JL ATV stainless brake lines (front and rear), DID chain, Sunstar chainwheels, PRM skid plate, PRM baja grab bar, fork boots, K & N air filter, tail light, Magura clutch perch/lever/boot (not hydraulic, but very nice).

Powder-coated: Frame, foot pegs, front brake caliper, front and rear rotors, rear brake master cylinder, rear hubs, front hub, rear brake lever, oil cooler frame and screen, swingarm, rear spring, tail light mount, top bridge on triple tree, engine mounts.

Retouched/Custom: Supertrapp exhaust (polished), Supertrapp mid-pipe (ceramic coated), rear brake linkage (coated w/ Glisten PC), front brake line guides (coated w/ Glisten PC) 400EX carb (rebuilt), front brake caliper painted, air intake system modified to fit 400EX carb, oil cooler lightly painted with high temp, clutch cable stay fabbed (on oil cooler guard), rear shock rebuilt and charged professionally, "Honda" decals on the scoops, triple tree "Honda" emblem.

I think I listed everything....don't ask how much is invested...ha, ha. This bike is a rider...not a show piece, BUT I take awesome care of my stuff. Started on the second kick after assembly. I did four complete heat cycles then road it like I stole it. Awesome, awesome ride.

Holy hell! I'll make you a deal, lemme grab my phone and get to making a first born, and in nine months I'll trade ya!

Or, if you're an instant gratification kinda guy, I guess I could spare my left nut in trade.

Beautiful! That is exactly how i want mine. Basically. Maybe i should do that color scheme for my new atc70??
Those tires are amazing. I have had a set for 4 years. they will last you forever. and yes dont worry, they will break loose around corners.
AMAZING trike man.

That is an amazing job!! I wouldnt want to ride it for fear of goofing it up. If they still made trikes today thats the way they would look.

Very nice job. My 350 was intended to be that color scheme by previous owner. I have the exact seat on my 85 also from Mosh. Now I know what it would have looked like finished. Great job! You can't put a price tag on a true part of motorsports history, it's just money.:lol:

Sweet ride! Thanks for serving for those of us who were riding in the free world while you were working to keep it that way. I hope you get to enjoy it a lot, guys like you deserve to the most.
