are the 350x and 250r frames similar enough to swap plastics?

[ben.simons]

I got a new 86 350x project trike and im not very familiar with the 85-86 250r setup... could someone shed some light on if its possible to swap all the 85-86 250r plastics with my 350x plastics...? I have 6 stock 86 350x's already and want to do something different with this one. I also thought about trying 450r plastics to make it like those TPC trikes with the 450r 3 wheeled conversions... need a winter project so any help is great!

Long live the ATC!

The 250r and the 350x are dramatically different bikes, you could probably swap the head light and front fender easily, the rear fenders would probably take something very custom to work. The tank and shrouds would be pretty much impossible.

450r plastics would be a lot of work but doable i would think.

450R plastic will be a totaly custom fab job. your tank is too wide for the seat. 250r shouldnt be too bad. Id bid on a wasted set 1st to cut up and try. the 250r front fender on the stock 350x tripples is gonna go sky high since the 250x front fender is on a totaly different angle then the 250r. you can do anything with money and time however.
