I told myself I would wait a month before reviving a trike but I didnt even make it 24 freakin hours!! I looked around and all the dead soilders that I have and decided that the canidate would be a 350X. I had 2 frames to shoose from, both have been broke and repaired above the left footpeg. While the other frames repair is better in this spot, this one is in much better shape overall.
Now, the color sheme is the question. The Maier fenders availible are in the colors White, Red, and Black. I thinking of going a little different with this one. Im thinking, Silver frame, Black tank, black front and rears, with red headlight, shock cover, and boots. Or maybe just like I mentioned above but with White rear fenders.. I am not sure. Help me out. I am just a little tired and loading the gun up with red paint and want to go a different route with this one. When I said I bring them back from the dead I am not kidding. Here she is

I love those backwards handlebars! I vote for the silver frame and matching swinger with black plastic and black boots. Needs a chrome headpipe to go with. Stainless brake lines. You've got your work cut out for ya but it'll be well worth it in the end.

Well me an CorbinKale got it torn down and After tearing it to nothing I have determined that the other frame may be in better shape. I am not sure, going to have to sleep on it. I think that the silver frame is the Ticket but If I go that route then I am going to paint the swinger black. So many options...

That is funny! The clutch cable IS in good shape, it just doesn't go to a 350X! :lol: Lomax has got to choose a frame to rez. When he does that, and gets it painted up, then we get to start putting parts back on. He invited me over yesterday to partake in the process. It is a lot of fun bringing one back to life. This one won't be mine, but I feel like a god parent to it. :w00t:

One of the bad spots on the frame was the "scoop" where is has the year ID tag. The first 3 pictures are what we are doing about that. The following pictures are a bit more complex, the footpeg bolts were broken off and there was no drilling them out. After staring it done for a while this is what we decided to do. Oh, and the black frame you see in some pictures is a totalled out frame. Thats why I am using cutting stuff off of it.
