    Here's a little update guys. I've been busy as hell. Back in school as of Monday. I'm going to be bringing the SX to school tomorrow to put it on a lift and start cleaning it up and start putting on the parts that are starting to come in. A big thank you to a couple very generous members on here. It's been snowing pretty much since I brought it home in a blizzard last Friday night. The muffler is cracked right at the back of the can. Eyeballing one on eBay right now. Missing the entire brake pedal assembly. Missing the battery box cover and tail light. It has a cobbled wire coming from under the right side engine cover going to the left side (didn't look where it connects to yet).

    There was a good deal for both pegs, brake pedal assembly and cable on eBay the other day. I may pull the trigger on it. I may try to hold out for an aftermarket pipe.

    I ended up getting the SX over to school about 1pm so it should be plenty thawed tomorrow morning so I can get it on the lift.

    I have a brake lever you are welcomed to...it's slightly tweeked on the front (twisted up and in) but with some heat you could get it back to where it should be. Kick me a couple bux for shipping and I can get it out to you tomorrow. PM me if you'd like it.

    Yours doesn't look all that bad Doug, and I think is in better shape than the project SX I bought last year.

    Just buy a little at a time, as money permits, that's what I ended up doing. It took a little longer than I thought it would to get it to where it is now, but it was for sure worth it inmho.

    Nice effort, man! I wouldn't have complained if my SX came with a rack and dump trailer.

    Thanks man, it was a fun build! Well, the trailer is long gone, put it on craigslist, and for some reason nobody wanted it. So I pretty much gave it away. As far as the rear rack, it had used to be an OE rack, but the previous owner had hacked it up and then half assed welded it to the rear grab bar. It was junk, and got tossed.

    I almost bought that trike. I live by the Dells in Baraboo. I recently bought my 250es in Watertown
    I've been fixing it up to. It doesn't like to start 15 degrees and colder.
    Rebuilt carb. I'm going to need to drill the pilot a bit. I bought a muffler off E bay for around $200.00.
    Made in Canada I believe.
    Bolt on looks good and is spot on for my stock jetting.
    Keep your eyes open I've seen some here locally that are fair priced.
    I saw a SX I believe muffler on e bay ( buy it now) for $80.00 bucks?
    I wish I had seen that when I was looking.
    There are people who sell and aren't looking to price gouge if your patient.
    Have fun wrenching. I bought mine and now I want want an SX to.
    And a 220x and an R and a .............!!! Ya I think ive got the sickness.

    I have my eye on a couple different exhaust options. I got a headlight assembly off a local guy. Great shape for the most part. Has the mounting straps, but I need the rubber grommets. Also the chrome is flaked off the shell and it's rusting. I also traded a FatCat rear swinger to the same guy for an entire 200X front end to swap over to my SX. He also sold me a set of OEM 1st Gen 200X fenders for $50. The rear brake/clutch lever is that real cheap EMGO brand. They didn't specify it in the description. I was hoping for something better.

    I've successfully bought parts and other stuff from eBay for several years with very few complaints about sellers. Well I finally learned the hard way. I wanted to buy one of FlyingW's freshly built carbs, but couldn't on accounts of all the other missing parts I have to replace. Well, I found what I thought was a fairly decent used carb. I figured a good cleaning and put it on. If it needed a rebuild kit I would throw one at it later. Seller sent me an email saying he went through the whole thing and cleaned it before shipping. First off. You could smell the varnish through the box. It was double wrapped in plastic inside too. Carb is filthy. The little loop that holds the vent tube is snapped off. (That I can live with) Finally, the reason I'm pissed. The choke plunger is broken off and rusted solid in the carb. Now I'm trying to scrape up whatever scrap I have to take in. Also, whatever spare parts I have lying around to sell so I can buy one of FlyingW's carbs. Which should have done in the first place. I may still try to free up that plunger. Otherwise I'm just going to strip any good parts off the bodies and toss em in the scrap pile. Lesson learned.
