    Sell it to me, I need something to do, don't part or out, there's enought parts pirates on eBay already. I would sell my left nut for an opertunaty like that. But they are a dime a dozen down there, impossible to find up here

    Do you know anything about the motor or why they tore it down to this point?

    I wanted that axle!! Lol. If you need front end parts, I have an 85 hub/forks. I think the forks are slightly bent, but, I have not put a straight edge on them. I do have straight 86 forks from mine that I'd consider selling. Was going to keep them for an SX build if I ever got one.

    Alright sounds good. I'm probably never going to use them. I went with a 3rd gen R front end on my X so they will most likely collect dust. I've also got two sets of triples and a white front fender that is spider webbed from age but no cracks.

    If you want to own an X, that seems like a great start. Lucky for you to find that as obviously no one has paid any attention to it in quite awhile. Best of luck, she's your patient now!!

    Great starter!!

    Take that flywheel off ( no or wrong puller ) And clean that all up. Shift lever may have bent and why the cover was off??

    I can't see many ATC 350X's parted DEAD!! No more please!

    You can clean that up and enjoy

    But after mine I learned quickly the math of rebuilding a trike. Got a nice original machine with good bones locally for $1100 three years ago..

    To this..was a $2800 journey including the purchase price of the machine.

    I quickly learned it was cheaper to buy clean than a project and fix it up!!

    But have fun..a good learning project!
