Everybody has to have a corny name for a project so that's what I picked for mine. A few months back I bought a 1985 350X that was in serious need of repair. The motor was not running, usual frame crack, and overall neglect. Here is what I was working with. 176466176467176466176467
Rear Fenders, seat, tires and about everything else was shot. I proceeded to tear it down and open up my wallet...
The first thing I did was fix the frame. I made a very stout gusset for the usual cracking spot and gusset end the other weak spots as i figured they would be next. Here are some pics...176468176469
After that it was e coating, then paint. I should have powder coated but electro coat gives a super base coat and after purchasing a nos engine the trike fund was depleted. The next step was assembly, and here are a couple pics I snapped. It is now 90% complete. I should be ready to fire it up tomorrow. Thanks for looking!176470176471
