Custom 350x

[Matt85'350x]

Here goes the wordnado again...

Sorry but when you fairly well abandoned the last two builds that got no further than a frame I kinda lost the ability to accept that this wont be another waste of time on the readers' part. Your builds tend to have mountains of discussion and speculation but no outcome. It's exhausting. We often hear more about your personal life than we do about the build we are trying to follow.

I know people will damn near burn me at the stake for this post and I obviously do not care. I truly wish you the best of luck on this project and hope to see the talk turn into something special this time. Maybe this post can be as intended, a motivator, instead of being incorrectly perceived as negativity.

You are not being forced to read this thread. If it pains you so much than don't click on it. I for one like the way this project is headed.

I believe Jason Hall did the frame and triple trees.

Did this frame used to be owned by "the goat"?

ordered the dog bone piece of the suspension and it should arrive soon! Milner (onformula1) is reworking the true TRX450R rear shock and making it into a remote reservoir style shock so we can move it to the other side of the trike and out of the way like the stock shock had.
I ordered some extra pieces and will be getting a custom swing arm piece done to be able to have a sleeve that goes all the way across the swinger since there is no engine it will mount through. that will allow it to stay solid and remain secure w/o the sleeve moving during operation.
once I get those 2 things done, then it should be solid and ready for more work. will be installing a LSR axle, and bearing carrier. Will be using the TRX450R rear brake assembly and rotor assembly. Front will be a 10" wheel with rear tire and CRF450R front braking system. Still trying to decide on the levers and such. will be using the Yamaha 250 dirt bike reservoirless rear master for the it. Got a nice SS fatty xlr400r header that I will use for it.

decided to go with the 350 rebuilt motor with the upgraded clutch and 12:1 piston. will also invest in a web cam. stage 1 so I do not have to worry about rockers and all that at this time.

BTW, this is a Yamaha YFZ450 rear shock and that is a good thing!

Yeah, don't waste my time here. I'm on a tight schedule.

orry but when you fairly well abandoned the last two builds that got no further than a frame I kinda lost the ability to accept that this wont be another waste of time on the readers' part.

Actually nothing was abandoned. The builds are in different stages. So please ask before you make false statements. Not everything happens in days as you want it too. sometimes we have to save up more $, or some parts are being manufactured or rebuild or things are being custom modified. I don't cover every little detail in my builds because i do not want to bore people over everything. so do me a favor, please stop posting in my threads unless you can be polite and constructive. right now your trolling my thread and it really is not needed nor warranted..

just so your "abandoned" mind knows we already have over $4500 in the Baja trike builds. think we would just toss those aside? Lets see what you got and are building or have. lets see your trikes.

awesome! cannot wait for your to work your magic buddy!!

[oscarmayer]

Yes because clearly popularity and economic status are the important issues when dealing with mechanical and technical topics.

nothing to do with $. has to do with manual imagination and talent.

what do you think of this? what do you think it is?
I built it from ground up.
Started out life as a Raptor 125. was totally redone with a racing YZ85 engine running a 90cc BB setup and tons of other mods. yes i built the entire bike from ground up and even modified the frame and re-enforced it. stocker frame si junk and bent last race of the year. new Chromoly is currently being built. so please before you go trashing me, think before you speak. I do all my own work including engine building. i have porting done on the cylinders by a specialist, the rest is by me. Still think I am just a fan boy?

[oscarmayer]

Yea parts came!! New dog bone here!!! Forgot the special bolt that bolts it to the swinger. Grrrr will have to order one of them now. But I will put in a temp just to get it in there!
Will clean and paint white to match rest. This trike is coming together!!

ok fork dog bone fork is drying. ordered that special bolt for the dog bone to bolt to the swinger with new orings and new nut.
I should be in great shape now as I have everything else.
I am looking to see about the tube for the swinger bearing/bushing. not sure if i should have one made, or see if a 350x stocker would work. may be worth a try.
Going to talk to a polishing guy tomorrow for some pieces that need to be done up.
I have a new unused OEM seat that will be used as well as new in the box Meir fenders in white. I am thinking of getting a MX graphics kit made for it. wondering on headlight assembly and shroud.

As Mike said yes it was his build, I had the pleasure of meeting him and his wife when they dropped of a trike to me in Phoenix, AZ.

Nice people, I wish he would post more. I heard he was heavy into Jeep rock crawler type vehicles now.

"Why does reading make you sleepy?"

I tried reading that but I kept falling asleep...

I know! Weird eh? Same thing happens to me half way through many of your posts.

This trike is being built to sell so I need maximum $ for it. What would be best?

Well, if you are simply looking for money, the "best" would be to put the bike in the shed and rent out that nice looking spare room you are building it in to some hot looking college exchange student for $400.00 bucks a month.
