350X baja race buildup

[oscarmayer]

fixed! sorry about typos

Where's the soda pop blast pictures?

Did you keep some to make 350X BAJA bread?

Hahaha



Ok everyone I have discussed some frame support changed for the 350x where the swinger bolt goes through. It will totally stop ANY weakening of the frame there when completed around the swing arm bolt mount.

This is a partial setup I worked on with Milner and we still have more parts to finish it. But this gives you a look into our level of design work and what we are doing. We will complete the kits for both racers and then mic the results. Once done we will work on making kits available going forward for starting the 350x then moving to other trikes like the 250r and even a custom 200x swinger design.
Stay tuned for more goodness!!!

I figured ya'll would be flipping out over the new frame bolt supports. no one has ever done this to a trike before. (at least not known or made kits like we are)

They look badazz mike, they will catch on!!! It's tough to compete with john nearys pic threads right now. The second gen 200x frame has something similar to that. It makes the frame much better than the first gen.

more building, less talking!

you know this thread is going to be 74 pages deep before you get the tires mounted.

I just felt like busting you and Milner`s balls this morning.

I WISH YOU WOULD BUILD SOMETHIN ALREADY

Looks like she’s starting to come along . . Some of my guesses as to the lack of posts regarding this is because several people seemed to be preoccupied with another recent Honda thread. . Also, I think it would be more interesting for some if you simply gave more of an idea as to what you are ultimately planning to do in this area because inquiring minds want to know, however, if it's any consolation, at least I am interested and curious about it, lol.

I’m not quite sure what you are referring to and I’m guessing I am not alone, but I’m guessing it is the flat bracket/gusset that you added connecting the lower frame to the lower foot peg mount . . I posted the first photo below just so people that aren’t all that familiar with how the 350x frame is built, can easily see the difference . . My guess is that you are going to tie that in to the thick "spacer" on the swing arm bolt for some reason and that the spacer will be welded to the swing arm pivot bracket . . My apologies if this is not what you are referring to . . If it is, I am curious as to just what your ideas are for this and your reasons, since to my knowledge, which is not extensive with the 350x frame, there is not a problem with the swing arm bracket breaking.

Obviously if you use the idea I gave you earlier in this thread to simply weld a thick hardened washer to the bracket to eliminate the possibility of the bolt hole wearing, your "spacer" will certainly do that after it is welded because it is the same idea I suggested but with a thicker piece, however, the washer/spacer would only need to be around 5/16” thick as I previously mentioned, not as thick as the one you are using so this would also save you a tiny bit of weight.

I know you guys are planning on adding some other gussets to but I thought I would also post some options in case you haven’t thought about them, and if you have, they might give you different ideas of how to do these mods then you already had in mind . . They are the lower frame brackets seen in the photos below . . Both of them will reduce frame flex and the potential for breaking, with the mod shown in the last photo reducing it the most.






Although this is a 250r frame, it still shows how you can just add two round tubes to connect the lower frame tubes together.





These are mods are done by xrider and are shown in his ATC350X build thread and I think he offers these pieces at the site below if you want to buy any of them just to save you guys some time because I know from having made around a bazillion of these types of things for my own bikes as well as many of the test bikes and factory works bikes at Kawi, that it takes a long time to do, therefore I can appreciate what you are doing.

Once the other plates are on it will tie it all together.

Funny, guy!

Let's just say there is A LOT of stuff on the way, but Mike has me under a gag order.

[oscarmayer]

surprise!!!!!

[DohcBikes]

Are you done yet? Hopefully out testing somewhere by now.

[oscarmayer]

No. ( we pushed the Baja racing to 2017 due to funds. Stupid ex wife...
