    Nice pick up there! Would love to find one personally for cheap, even though I'm not much into bikes I would have a blast riding it and all the looks on state land .

    Sticking the 350x in there is an idea but I'd be surprised if it'd fit. Plus, you might kill it's value by doing it. Many people are real happy with a Fat Cat that runs as it should. Get it running and rip it up and see if you still need more power. Even then, just get something bigger like my DR350 BW conversion.Click image for larger version.

    I don't know a lot about the fat cats, but you could buy a K&N filter that fits in the air box. It shouldn't need the center metal peice then.

    Yeah, a key might keep yer friends from jumping on it
    (like they do here on the farm)

    but I've never seen one anywhere close to a thousand dollars, let alone hundreds.

    I so tempted to try and make one out of a 90 or 110 since they're so rare.

    Wonder why they don't make them anymore?
    or is that a whole other topic?

    I would guess a whole other topic, but I'll stab at it. Dirt bikes with the tall skinny tires go fast, jump hills, mx race etc really well, the fat cats can do what better than the ones with skinny tires? Mud bog? Snow riding might be a big plus. I suspect the market for them isn't that big, so no company wants to risk making them any more. There might be a reason why they are rare, not many sold? Just going off from the tiny bit I know about them, don't shot me!

    I have owned a lot of them (#14 for sale right nowClick image for larger version.

ID:	163648) and their main attraction is Honda brand, novice level ride-ability: auto clutch, short stance, easy to keep balanced. However, they are heavy as h3ll, so dumping them on uneven terrain makes them a liability.
    I never have a hard time selling them, though, so I think their rarity is due to the small production number. My #1 demographic is old guys (50-65) and husbands wanting something for the wife to ride off-road.
