Thanks.

I thought so too

But I didn't do it, haven't even seen it in person.

Just saw it for sale on CL today.

Thought youse guys would get some sort of kick out of it.
ya or nay,
reality is what it is.

I've personally never even sat on a 4 wheeler and have no interest

just got my 18th trike this weekend and have no desire to 'evolve' to quadliness.

I bet vealmonkey knows who made the conversion kit.

I saw one on CL in Michigan I almost bought..had the front plastic and looked better than that. Also the seller had the entire trike front end to put back on..

Thought it was a novelty and was going to get it until I was convince otherwise by others in the group.

Happy with my choice for sure!!

Just saw an updated listing for that machine. Price lowered to $1k with the original front end ready to go back on... Still too much in my opinion. I think the guy should put the original front end back on and sell the two things sepparately. Hmmm... :naughty:

meh. personal choice. I dont see whats wrong with all this as long as the front end is still included to who ever buys it. Hell, 1K for a good running 350x is normal in my area. Throw in a quad conversion for free that you could turn around and re sell for 100$ and recoup some of the cost of the X, PRESTO 900$ 350X that doesnt look to be in too bad of shape!

Too bad my toy cash account is depleted..at $1000(or less) that would be a good candidate for me to scoop, bring home, and flip for an easy $500 profit. Worth $1500 here in Ontario every day of the week!!!

The guy actually sent me some better pics when I was thinking of buying it..it's not that bad!!

Even still happy I got my 86 camo trike instead..

Of course it isn't ugly any more!!

The opportunity is there to any one with a bit of loose change and a few hours to drive to get it!!! Rosco, Tapper..you guys are close enough and like an excuse to get over to Michigan for a ride!!

I'll give whoever wants it the short version on how to deal with the import of a trike!! Opportunity is dangling!

If I was in the market for an X, I would pick it up. He has all the parts to change it back, worst case you have to buy a $100 frame.

Yeah, he sent me pics of all the trike front end parts..it's a bolt on kit.

Looks easy.

No matter who made them, they just looked so goofy because the fronts either had no plastics or plastic that just did not match up.
