To Buy
As cheap as possible


To Sell
As much as possible

[codemanlyons]

think 1000 is too much or would it be a decent buy

[cybrman]

It really boils down to how much you want it, and how much money you have.
In my opinion if you've got the money and you want to buy it then go for it.
I would buy the bike you describe for 1000.

[codemanlyons]

ok thanks for the feed back.... i just dident know what these trikes went for.

[83ATC185S]

1000-1500 depending on shape. a decent one would go for 1500 around here.

[codemanlyons]

ok thanks iam going to look at it thursday... i will post pics if i get it!

[codemanlyons]

How hard is it to get parts for a 350x?

[Erics350x]

Not hard at all, heck search 350x on ebay.

so i went and bought the 350x today. its an 85 all stock except for the super trapp exhaust. motor has never been into runs like a champ. it also has a twist throttle. i had to drive bout an hour and a half but it was well worth it. i really underestimated the power of this trike. 1st ride up and down the road had my jaw dropped.

Picture does not do it justice.. just a crappy camera phone

[Itrike]

looks like a plastic tank?? or just a paint job? I'ts been worked on for sure. But if it runs good ..... It does look good also. So if you only spent $1000 or less I say good score. Ride the snot out of it and have fun!!!!!

[Jonpin]

wow that looks realy good from what i can see

[atctim]

its an 85 all stock except for the super trapp exhaust.

And fork boots.

Very nice find - nice looking trike. 350Xs are awesome machines

[codemanlyons]

[codemanlyons]

[codemanlyons]

[83ATC185S]

Sweet! have fun with it.

[tanks350x]

You got a good deal for sure The only issue with an 85 is the frame on the left side. It's prone to cracking. Heres a pic of mine that was hacked back together to give you an idea on where it cracks

ill have to keep an eye on that. The only thing i need is a back sprocket and chain. anyone got a preference on the teeth number if i was to go different than stock?

[SeaBass8]

Nice Trike! I like the all red look.

great lookin X you got yourself, the twist throttle really gets it. i installed one today and she took me for a ride. wasn't expecting that response out of it. did you get the chain adjusted right?

[codemanlyons]

Nice Trike! I like the all red look.

Thanks! i need to get some oem stickers back on it tho.

Thanks yea i am still trying to get used to how touchy it is. i ended up taking the sprocket off and using a big pipe wrench on it. adjusted it all the way and its still to loose. I def need to invest in a new chain and sprocket. trying to decide if i should change the stock number of teeth or not.

[codemanlyons]

i also need a good grab bar. the guy that owned it before me made one thats not very easy on the eyes. anyone know of a place to get on or does anyone have they would be interested in selling?

[Jonpin]

They have some nice prm "i think" plain looking ones on ebay for like 50$ all aluminum i almost got one but got an oem one first still might even pick one up later

[chris200x]

Looks like you got a heck of a deal. I'd pay a grand for an x in that shape any day of the week.

Stock gearing is 13/41 i believe. I'm running a 14 tooth front with the stock rear sprocket and 20" rear tires. You can definitly feel the accelration diffrence over stock. I can wheelie with no effort the first three gears. but it cuts off your top end a bit.

I just picked up a PRM desert grab bar for around $70 and couldn't be happier. http://prm-atv.com/MN.asp?pg=products&grp=40&mfr=2 I'm still able to strap a soft cooler on the back for those long hot rides no problem. :D . A 200x grabber is the same thing if you search ebay for a decent used one. but for the price you might end up paying I'd go with a new PRM.

[codemanlyons]

i thought the stock set up was 13/40?? i might be wrong. i think iam just gonna pick up a stock chain and sprocket set then maybe have some higher geared sprockets when i wanna outrun some quads..:twisted:

ya i will look in to that i have been watching ebay. havent found anything too nice yet. i like the baja grab bar but iam not to sure how that would look. anyone have one?

[codemanlyons]

So i fianlly got to go to the dunes this past week. it was a blast! only saw 3 other 3 wheelers on guy was riding a 250r another had a black and red tri-z and a 250r with a pretty sweet chrome swing arm on it. iam really gotta go back soon. i think iam now addicted.
