the motor isn't even the same why would you replace everything when it's cheaper to just buy one new?

Be careful on that thing. Lots of people got killed on them from rollovers before Honda quit making them.

yep. i got a real nice big red 250 thats fun, but to ride a 350x without a helmet is pretty ignorant. i was raised on a 3wheeler , but you are correct and i will be careful.

nobody can find the "oops" on my bike ?

nobody has a restoration project of their own?

im gonna post a pic of my BR then

let me just say that pics dont do this bike justice at all. its not till you see it in person that you realize its near factory/mint condition. and no i didnt restore it. i bought it from a guy off craigslist for only $550. its worth $2000 easy

I don't have any pics on this computer but off the top of my head I restored a 100 year old abandoned rock ranch house (the house I live in) and a 1952 Willy's jeep with a 327. It would scratch 3rd gear in 4wd.

the thing i did wrong on the 350X is , i put the honda wing decals on backwards. i was in such a hurry to put my gas tank on (it was finally fully cured) and ride that i completely overlooked the direction of the wings. got ribbed pretty good on the 3wheeler message board.

I thought you wanted it that way. it gives it another look. You should leave it that way

thats what some of the guys on the 3wheeler board said, but i dont like it. i took em' off already and am waiting on the new ones to show up. the new ones i ordered i like better anyway, instead of red/white/blue wings its half dark blue and half light blue. will post a pic when theyre on there but it might be a while cause theyre comin from hong kong

its just a 3wheeler from the 80's. some people like myself grew up on them and think they are the shiznit. they banned the production of them in like 88'. they started making them, i believe, in the early 70's. that 350X is an 86' model and if i could somehow explain to you how fast it is, you wouldnt believe me. the Big Red is an 85' and its a workhorse. i can literally float that thing across a lake or river. no joke.

hells jeah. id love to get paid for doing something i lurve. what you got in mind

What do you charge to fix a rusty 69 SS camaro?

thats pretty vague but, you know like the saying goes you get what you pay for. if you wanted to make it showroom you could spend thousands just on parts. if you wanted to make it driveable and look decent then you'd probly just spend thousands altogether
