Kinda hard to get excited when all you have shown us is three pictures of a clapped out beater with no motor or plastic. And with that attitude you can count on me not subscribing. Good luck with your build.

[jdm97ek4]

So your posting only so we watch you put install new plastic on?? :rolleyes:

I'm happy for ya, an 86 350X is a great machine.

Most of the posters check in every day.

And often it's just another rebuild. Some of us (may get bored after hundreds of these machines are repaired, rebuilt and rode).

Give me some pictures, The upgrades you desire; Give me something to chew on. Like "how do I get my shift drum apart, my tranny blew up!" , then you should see more responses but don't expect them.

And BTW, make up a bracket and get a 450R master cylinder and reservoir on there. You cannot rebuild 350X rear masters.

i wish i had a 1987 tecate 3 in mint cond. ide find a cliff and push right off and make a vid, clapped out beater. dont be a dick man, half of these builds on here were welfare rides and after you re do everything they come out nice

[jdm97ek4]

bottom end is together waiting on head to be done. its getting new valves in it. i have a bent one

i chopped 3 seat foams to make a good one. the nice seat i bought is very tall like a desert seat i will prob sell it

[Bilster]

I'm very interested in how this goes. I'm hoping others will post suggestions like the 450R master cylinder. Need to learn more about that.... l love resto-mods. Classic look with a flare for performance....

[Mosh]

Yeah...The guys around here are using TRX 250X rear master cylinder rebuild kits, that work for the 350X. So apparently a good option for the 350X master cylinder rebuilds is now available.

You may have accidently logged on to the wrong site. This is 3WW where people who like trikes and discussing a variety of topics gather to chat, share and help. After reading your posts on this thread you seem to be looking for a site where people will kiss your backside simply because you own a trike. I respectfully suggest that you rethink your attitude if you plan on anyone here appreciating your work, or helping you out.

[jdm97ek4]

i dont like that people have a attitude and say i have a clapped out piece of trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro thats all, sorry i dont live in AZ where there all in orig cond i live in PA where they were bought and ridden

My 350x rear master cylinder was froze up when I got it. I was able to fix it with a 300ex rebuild kit I got off ebay listed as a 350x kit.
