It is just waiting for the new rear caliper. The old carb was toast so I'm running a 85 250r carb. It runs great! I am running stock gearing with 20 in tires from a 400ex. I need a better seat and rear fender.

tell me then whats the big differene between a 2 stroke aND 4 stroke carb ... NONE...

Only thing is, is how it mounts up but thats not a problem with the 350x.

Aren't you the one that laughed at me when I said there were no wristpin bearings on a 200s engine.

Most 4 strokes don't have wristpin bearings.
I know for a fact 400ex dont, .....

Well, I guess I'm stupid, but it works and the throttle response is great! It runs a tad rich, but I am not concerned, because it gets a nice chocolate color on the spark plug. It doesn't bog at all! It required a 3 inch long 2 inch diameter hose from a tractor to make a good fit! I just put a 300 ex brake caliper on the rear that works great. My other was shot! It even had a HA5 on the caliper, which is 350x as far as I've been told! I will go take some pictures of the set up. This bike was a real basket case, so I am pleased that with minimal investment that it runs like a M-F! :beer

This is what it looked like when I got it for $400.00

my only real concern was how he managed to cob it on, so please, pull the finger out and chill :) , i've just seen alot of pics how people have cobbed carbs onto there machine and thought "oh boy.. here we go again" but i see you did a nice neat job getting it on there, definatly the best i've seen, usually theres alot of tape involved, LOL

Yeah, I have seen those also. My real 350x carb, was so screwed that even after I rebuilt it and got a new throttle cable it still ran like shat! I had this Keihin PE 34 mm stock 250r Carb sitting around and said what the *! It surprised me that it worked so well. Hey I have about $900 total in this 350x and it is a great 3 wheeler. I still like my 85 R better and same with my 400ex, but this 350x impresses the crap out of me! :Bounce

Nice looking X Mark. That wouldn't happen to be the one with the bent valve that was in the trader a long time ago, would it? You seem to have done a bang-up job as usual.....Really makes me want to get off my butt and get my R in order.

No, this was in Maryland and on Ebay, but the buyer was in Illinois and the seller wouldn't ship it! I was runner up bidder and he made me the offer if I'd come get it. I said sure and made a short road trip up the Eastern Shore.

dreamintheR, all i have ever done to you is tell you the facts about a roost boost, and then when you got acting like a 12 year old girl having her period for the first time, and said LOOK AT A PIC, and you send me the picture for "proof" and the picture is so blurry you cant read ANYTHING, (i will post pic), and then i replied to you for a clearer pic, and no reply!, now, go back to daddy and tell him to protect you from the big scary people on the internet.

I agree HondaATC 100%. So I cleaned the thread up a little.
