Picked these two bikes up yesterday. They have been sitting outside for 2 years or so behind an out building. The 110 ran when parked. The X almost started when I messed with it. The 110 is complete and just needs some TLC and 3 new tires. I already sold that to my buddy.
The X has a real nice oem front fender. Solid headlight guard and real nice headlight bezel and lens. Inside of the tank is clean as a whistle, but has a few minor dents on the outside. Tear fenders are toast.

Great job ! You know where to bring that X if you will sell it :). Have you heard how Lou Ann is ? Beula Fuller died,,I'm just taking a bunch of food up to her son now.

As of right now I'm putting the X on the back.burner.To much going on. I would like to make it into a solid rider.
I haven't heard on how Lou Ann has been doing. I can ask my wife.

She went with bad heart troubles last week by ambulance. Haven't heard how she's doing since.

very cool save, both bikes look like they have great potential with some time and love.

My buddy is thinking of restoring the 110. I will do something with the X. For what I paid for the pair, it would be rather cheap to make it a runner hopefully

Nice grab Tom. Good luck with the X, doesn't look like it'll take much to get it trail worthy.

I have some extra parts from my other 85 I can use on it. The exhaust is a Super Trapp, but it sits real low. Not sure if its meant for the 350 X. Its not like my other one. It's the style with the cap and disc bolt through the middle.

Well came home and stuck.a used spare plug from my running X in the new find and it started on the 5th kick. Drove it around the yard to park it. $100 for a running X! I'm a happy camper

Damn that was a steal for a running 350.. They are rare as can be where i am, i would love to find one, even a rough one like that, to make into a good runner.

Don't understand why the exhaust got ran.like this. Sits way low and out, but bolts the frame. Maybe the pipe was cut for the slip on.
