hello everyone. i just picked up a pitbike to play around on, while tuning it i got to looking at the 85 honda 350x sitting in the corner of the garage. playing on the pitbike has got me amped up about getting the trike back to its glory. i picked it up for free from a friend about a year ago and now i think its about time to start working on it. it sat outside for a few years and is in terrible shape. it does run however, when i got it home i pulled the carb and cleaned it and poured some fuel in and ill be damned if it didnt start. the tank is full of rust so i just kept squirting fuel in the carb to keep it running. i was surprised it turned over much less started.

anyways, as i start on this project ill have plenty of questions and ill be researching heavily. hopefully yall can help me with whatever i cant find on my own. the build will be pretty slow though as im currently in the middle of putting my mustang back together as well.

welcome to the board! As long as the motor runs and doesnt smoke you have a solid start! plastics and bearings may seem like a lot to deal with but in the grand scheme of things having a good running motor is enough for a good start. And I second Hoosier's suggestion ;) TRIKEFEST!!!!
