[200xman]

Still cheaper than a Durablue and has that cool old school look. Does anybody know who Jez and Faye is anyway?

[350x'inNY]

yep... he's in the UK. He's a member on the boards here. Great guy!

[ClayW]

For that kinda money I would have to pass

[jenndnn3]

I love mine! Jez you will love em. It is so convient to change vs the axle. Sadely I missed this auction. But such is life. Mine are on my R. By the way this is set #3 that I know of.

[x.system]

I've seen 5 sets of them now, next set is MINE :D

[Jez]

Bruce - Thanks for the kind words

200xman - That would be meeeeee. Faye is my other half (some say better half, but don't tell her that :D ).

Jenn - I'm finally in the club :w00t: It's been a long time coming. I'll let you know what I think of 'em.

Jim - Thanks man! Owe you one :beer . The next set WILL be yours ;)

[jenndnn3]

LOL what club I am aware of only these 2. I was unique a year ago. DANG you oldschoolers.

The third set was on a 250r on ebay about 4 months back. They were red also, wonder if they are same set. The 250r itself went for crazy cash, but it looked like it was a well built machine.

They Can't be the same set, the splines are different on the late model 350X vs. 250R... OR I'd A BEEN BID'n @ least $50 more than they went for! :naughty:

[BLAZERONE22]

As far as I know the 85-86 350x and 85-86 250r's have the same hubs.

[jenndnn3]

SHHHHHHH!!!!! What they dont know keeps my prices down.

[AZ250R]

As far as I know the 85-86 350x and 85-86 250r's have the same hubs.
Everything I've searched on here said they AREN'T!?!? So WTF is it, I mean these went for a steal then IMO. I would a been all over them if I had proof they'd work on an 85R!!! :mad:

Sorry I was wrong. ;)

[deathman53]

according to durablue and lsr 85-89 and 85/86 350x's have the same slpine patterns

That "RETARD" woulda made more $$ had he known that & stated as much in his auction. I'm piss'd now cause I searched in here and found @ least 2 threads where they SUPOSIDLY couldn't interchange the 350X to 250R hubs... So much for the good ol SEARCH FUNCTION. Next time I'll flat out ask about it either way. :rolleyes:

[Tyler 54]

Just so you dont throw a fit. I tried to put a 350X hub on my R Axle, and it wouldn't fit.

DuraBlue is wrong.

Aaaahhhh, that made my day! :)

[Yardbird]

Hey jez I noticed you put a bid in on a 250R.........Westcoast hub bound?

[grundlegrabber]

I have both 250r and 350x, the hubs wouldn't interchange. Not sure what the difference was, it was about 2 yrs ago that I tried, but they were not the same.

[Jez]

Hi Yardbird,

Yeah, it looks a nice bike, so I figured I'd have a go. Won it too, so it'll be crossing the pond sometime in the next few weeks. I need to say a HUGE Thank You to my good friend Jim (x.system) for all his help in getting this bike to me. He's been an absolute Legend! Cheers Jim :beer

To answer your question, the hubs were actually bought for a Vintage Desert Racer Resto I'm doing to an '86 ATC250R. It's a little way off completion, but it should be a beauty when I've finished it. I tell you what, it'll be a huge "DOH" if they don't fit as I've been looking for a set for so long now. Ahhh well, we have to live to learn I guess. I'll let you all know whether they fit once they arrive. Fingers crossed LOL

Cheers,
Jez

[Jez]

Hey Guys,

They arrived today, so I'm gonna put everyone out of their misery and answer the million dollar question:

They do actually fit the axle of my '86 ATC250R perfectly :D :w00t:

Now that's made my day!!!!! You guys really had me worried there for a while. You know, these things are absolutely awesome. They look totally indestructable and are a complete work of art. A real piece of quality engineering, just like the Westcoast swingers. Now I've just gotta remove that awful red paint.

Cheers,
Jez

[Tyler 54]

I'm in Aww. Why will the stock 250R hubs not interchange with the 350X hubs? :confused:

[350x'inNY]

I'm in Aww. Why will the stock 250R hubs not interchange with the 350X hubs? :confused:

Maybe they were listed wrong? Maybe the 350X had an aftermarket axle? who knows... but I'm glad it worked for you Jez! :beer

I must admit... we're both on the same track with the Baja retro trikes.... I have an IMS large capacity tank on my R and just mounted up the Hi-Flite desert seat... unfortunately, the tank angle with the seat is different.... oh well... I got to use the desert tank with the normal seat or the desert seat with the OEM tank.

[jenndnn3]

Dangit I wanted another pair. :cry: :p

Seriously never had a doubt! Have you tried them yet? Wait till you turn, oh make sure you have a lot more room. ;) Glad to hear you are taking that pretty paint off! :w00t:

[BLAZERONE22]

Jen, do your hubs you can email me? I want to see what I missed out on. Jez, I'm glad thehy went to a good home, but I get the next pair, I just started a westcoast hub fund,lol

Here is that old aution with the red hubs on it.

[AZ250R]

NOT if my Bid-Snipe can help it!!! :mad:

[AirManCam]

Damnit, I missed this auction, they would have went perfect with me +4 westcoast swinger, and +4 durablue for the 350x. Man, that would have been nice long and wide eh?
