I haven't picked them up yet, but they are mine! :D
I have not looked in the local Trader's Guide in a while, and just happened to pick one up and look thru the ATV section. Guess what...2 different ads for 1985 350Xs. Called the guys, talked to them...went today to take a lil look....money down...picking em up Monday. They are both decent, but not show queens. Neither one needs anything mechanical to run as is. The plan is to bring em home..get a real good look at them to figure out what parts/pieces are in the best condition. Once I decide that, I will part them together and build one that is really nice and the other (should be a good machine as well, just not as purty) will probably be sold off. I already have my eye on a good Ebay item. One of them has a really NICE White Brothers E-Series pipe on it. They did a nice job modding it to fit the X. The original billet mount was removed and then rewelded into a new position to work on the X frame. The midpipe was also rewelded and looks good. If you were to look at it, you would think it was BUILT for a 350X. I will be getting the stocker with this bike, so I will polish this E-Series up, and sell it off for a bit of profit. (Gotta save my money for TF! ;) ) Anyway, here are the bikes. You may recognize the one...I tried buying it a couple years ago. He won the bracket class over at the Grass drags on it. Told me then he would NEVER sell..guess what...today is NEVER!!! :w00t:
