Yes, on the motor I pulled out - which isn't technically part of this project, I guess - more like a phase 2. I already have nearly enough parts accumulated to put together an extra bonus 350X....... but that is a tale for another thread. I tend to get ahead of myself.

Like those guys said. The crank case breather by the tensioner is a dead giveaway, there are 2 styles depending on what year. They are hooked, and curve to accomodate the size of the 85 tensioner. In 86 they designed the tensioner a little different, so the breather goes straight out of the case.

Nice build by the way

**TatTooL23** · 05-09-2013, 02:38 PM

Bid light lime???? Really?

So u need high heels and wigs to go with those right?

**Kintore** · 05-09-2013, 02:42 PM

We prefer the daisy dukes

**atctim** · 05-09-2013, 02:51 PM

Bud Light Lime is mint - no arguments will be heard!
No wigs or high heels will be worn during the building of this trike.

I find it funny that so many people hate on the Limeys - yet when I take a case somewhere, they are always the first gone, and many of the haters are having one saying "wow, these are pretty good"
