So a few weeks ago i stated that i had found 2 86 350x's and quickly pick them up for 160 bucks. Anyways i took both bikes and made one good rider. I then sold the parts bike for 650 which was in rough shape after advertising locally for about an hour on the net.
I had ordered a bunch of parts off ebay like handlebars, grips, chain/sprocket set as well as bought a running stock motor off of mxnick here on the boards which runs absolutely flawless btw. I checked the valves and after dropping the motor in it took 2 kicks and it was running great. I also bought a good used ims tank, front fender and headlight from bkm which are also in great shape. Thanks to both you guys for some great parts.
I put it all together, all thats needed now is to get 4 exhaust head studs and nuts and this bike will be ready to go. I have never had a 350x before so i am pumped to get on and ride. Let me know what you guys think of the bike. I need a kill on/off switch if anyone has one. Thanks

I bolted on an extra 200x resy cage protecter seems to look good. here are some pictures of my parts swap over, took me about a day to make a good useable roller.

I was able to get the 2 top head studs put in, so the header will hold for now. The power of the 350 is so nice

Great looking bike man..you're gonna love the 350x power!! One quick thing, you need to run your clutch cable so it follows the down tube (you'll see some tabs there to hold it in place) It should go behind the headlight on the right side of the cover, not the left, and start following the downtube right at the trees....this could cause it to bind up when you turn left...just a heads up.
