100 dollar 350x

[azhondagrl]

Ok so the other day at work John saw this 350x out on the Reservation.

Well last night we were delivering the 83 R to a guy half way between El Paso and Mesa. The lady that had the 350x called and said they were moving and wanted to get rid of this bike and it doesn't run.

So meanwhile we deliver the R and head back into town to look at this 350. We get there and the lady says they were riding it one day and then a few days later it wouldn't start back up. She tells us 100 dollars so we're like ok deal!

We get it to the nearest gas station in the back of the truck, I pulll the oil cap off and gasoline/oil starts POORING out. :doh: So we start thinking maybe the floats are stuck open and its probably pretty nasty in there.

Today we opened it up, drained and flushed all the oil and gas out, put in a new filter and did an oil change, cleaned the carb completely, kicked it over twice and she fired RIGHT up. So, here is my 100 dollar 350x. It has brand new holeshots on it, too. Our collection is now complete. We both have an 85 R and an 85 350x.

Why can't I ever find deals like that? The Holeshots on the back are worth that much! What was that lady thinking?

ditto on dat

[azhondagrl]

hahahaha, it was actually her sons bike, he had traded a little go cart type thing for it a few years back. Well I guess they really needed the money for the move they were going to make, so her son said whatever just go for it and get it outta here. It has a nice K&N on it that we got all cleaned up. I'll have a list here of the things I need within the next few days.

lucky !%%@#%^##$...

I never find deals like that.... i'm due.

I think you should go back and give her another 100 $..... LOL..... :p

Man, sometimes reading this board it feels like everyone is finding sweet deals except me!
Good job, man!

[Huffa]

What a find!

I'm always search, search, searching and never find, find, finding :cry:

Wish they mad some kind of 3 wheeler detector that would go off when you pass a potential one in the area :D

[trikerider2oo7]

sweet find...what kind of pipe is that?

[azhondagrl]

lol its the kind with a big hole in the side and all dented up. Is their a way to fix it??? I really have no idea what kind it is. suggestions?

[NOS_350X]

Get me a pic going down the muffler that will help, and if you dont try and fix it i might be intrested.

[azhondagrl]

is their a way to fix it? and fix the hole and dents from the underside?

[RacerRichie]

SWEET
Great freaking deal!

[NOS_350X]

Yes there is. But your going to have to be perty good with metal. If i can get it from you I would ship it to somone and have them fix it.

[toyota200x]

That pipe looks interesting. I have never seen anything like it for the 350x. Great deal. Is that a number plate on the front?

[83185s]

* say she traded a gokart for it?? evidentally she WAS thinkin then..but 100 bucks..not there..lol...* guys do have good luck...i wished i lived down in cali or nevade somewhere...it would prolly be better on my lungs too..lol...indiana sucks!

[Lomax]

Very sweet deal, congratulations, was way better than the deal that I got on my 350X I picked up a couple weeks ago, Mine is in peices, its missing stuff, and looks like hammered dog S**T and I gave 2 running YT125's for it. I only had 260 bucks in both the YT's so I still dont think I did that bad, theres more than that worth in parts alone..

[threewheelin-feelin]

man....cant beat that deal!!!

[azhondagrl]

Well i just got that DG silencer MYWIFE had on Ebay, but then i realized that its an entire aftermarket head pipe too. So we'll see if it'll work, cuz the headpipe looks a little fatter.

And in my eyes, lol..she wasn't thinking. But its all good!!!

[NOS_350X]

I would have gave you a Dg (possibly with a headpipe) for that trashed one with the headpipe.

[azhondagrl]

so any suggestions as to what kind of pipe it is? or ya'll gonna tell me its nothing to get me to sell it. lol. :rolleyes:

[jeswinehart]

i sure like hearing storys about great finds + deals ,,, its just good !

hondagal, i too have a aftermarket header on my 350x. like you said, it's fatter ( or bigger around probly a better description ). mine don't have any markings on it or the mounting holes for the heat sheild. i am using a stock tail pipe.
if your header don't have heat sheild mounting holes i found a easy fix for that and it's cheap + holds up.

again,, great find - congrats !

[azhondagrl]

well I don't know if they had to add them, but it has a heat shield. It looks like onthe stockk head pipe the exaust attached behind the heat shield, but on the aftermarket head pipe the exaust mounts up closer to the end of the bike, thats why i'm not sure about the DG pipe, because the DG pipe is longer like to mount up to shorter head pipes, if length is th only problem we can probably cut some off, but if thickness is the problem, well.....then I don't know. :confused:
