Hi!

I ride it only 2 time this summer.... :( too much bike for only 1 person :P
Honda ascot 500 engine,electric start
Never try top speed.....over 120km/h easy

Someone have a good deal for 3 tires 16x8-7 for an ATC70?

Very nice indeed. If I'm thinking right it's basically the same engine as 79-82 XR and XL 500? I have 4 of those bikes. Isn't the engine a bit tall for a 350X chassis? Frame mods? I was working on turning one of my spare frames into a trike but never got very far with that. Still waiting to get an ATC250R swing arm from a friend.

Thanks to all!
I built it last winter,I bought the 350x with only the frame,rear shock,rear fender and seat,tank and complete front,no rear end and no engine.I sandblast all parts and rebuilt.The frame is a 86 350x,I have cut the section under engine to be able to insert the engine in the frame.This section is removable,It's very very tight I have 1/8 between valve cover and frame,just enought to remove cover to adjust valves.Engine is from a 82 Ascot ft500,It's the same engine in the first generation xl/xr500,except for the electric start,side cover,crankshaft....FT500 engine have only electric start but I install the kick start on it,with the shaft from an old xl250....just a good backup.I shim the front fender to clear the front pipe.Exhaust is from a suzuki 1200 if I'm correct,shortened 6 inch,very quiet and no restriction don't be worry :)Battery holder is from a 250es,Ignition switch and the pad from a 250sx
Need more details??

Yeah by all mean's ,put up some more detail's and some more pic's if that ain't a problem.

That does look like a sweet build,and like I said before, a sleeper.Did you have any issue's with the rake ,and what frt suspension set-up did you use? How is the torque and what are you geared at??

The frame and front end are 350X so there shouldn't be any issues there.
