Ive been on a hotstreak with finding these motors boys!I've been very fortunate in the last year and have found 14 motors from 3 different schools around me and today was no different.everyone in my town knows now that Im a 3 Wheeler man and my wife's friend found:welcome another stash of them today.they were literally 20min from my house and I was in for a very pleasant surprise.along with 3 350x motors there set all dust covered was a 86 250r motor!!I'm pretty calm now when I find the 350 motors but when I saw the r motor my heart nearly popped from the sudden surge of adrenaline and I nearly lost it.all I've wanted was to have a new backup motor for all my clutch bikes and that topped it off.these motors where minutes away from being taken to the scrape yard and if it wasn't for my ol'ladies friend they would be gone.I got them at 3 today and was supposed to go back to work but I just took off and stared at the r motor for a good hour and have been out to the garage many times to convince myself that I do really have one!!!I sold a couple motors yesterday and will sell a few more now.I will have 5 for sale and if anyone wants one you'd better be quick about it because I know they wont last because I'm also selling them local.I have 3 that I will take 1200 free ship and 2 for 1000 free ship.its costing me around 200 to ship these in a crate that is built for no worries and so I think that's a fair price for what your getting.pm me for any more questions.ill try to keep my post updated as the motors sell.r motor is not for sale,its priceless to me at this point.

I'm moving to Arkansas!!! Seems like a trike haven out there!!! Lolbrown this is insane.of all the times I've been screwed buying 3 Wheeler stuff this makes me forget it all.no man could bring me down rightnow.I happy as can be but also sad because I just have a hard time letting them go.I'm still in shock of everything I've aquifer in the last couple years.I went from having a couple beatup 1977 90's to every bike I ever wanted.I'm down to 3 350x,85 250r,85 250es and a 85 sx.I did sell the nice 200e and m I just got.anyhow enough about me and down to you.Im sticking one of these motors back and it has your name all over it.you've been the coolest Guy I've meet on 3ww thus far and me and you will work something out on one of these motors.ill be. Intouch.make that two motors left.

Lucky dog! Making some extra Christmas money are ya? :lol:yeah you could say that.my son and ol'lady are already taken care of for Christmas so guess who's getting a nice present this year?I'm buying 2 more 350x projects and a powder coating setup.I'm gonna build me an oven big enough to fit a frame and anything else 3 Wheeler related.when I told me ol'lady I was getting a powdercoat rig she had a look of worry on her face because she knows there's no telling what will end up coated during the first month of having it.I'm fortunate to have a buddy with a blasting setup within 2 min from me.anything metal laying around doesn't stand a chance.

If anyone wants pics of this motor pm me and ill give you my number.my laptop currently has more viruses than a hot blonde in her freshman year of college so uploading pics is out of the question.

Last motor gone.yeah the powder coat setup will be nice.I'm gonna use the element and thermostat from some salvaged cookstoves.I'm using two so it doesn't take long to get up to temperature.wont be a show piece or anything but it will do the job.its what I've needed for awhile now.I'm not a stickler on the factory look so ill have all kinds of ideas. for a custom bike.do a Google image search for custom 350x and you'll find a white 350x with a grey frame.I love that bike and will be doing something similar to it.not sure how to pull it off yet but I still want a blacked out 350x with the gold 250r rims on it.

Lucky guy! I love when you get deals like that. Thank goodness people though to save them.

I have seen a few sites where guys have built there own ovens from bake oven parts...it really doesn't look too complicated, especially if you use the electronics from the donor oven...lol they all use the metal studs and regular sheet metal. I guess the insulation is the most expensive part. I know they use something called a "ceramic blanket" to line the inside of Kilns and in Blacksmith forges.. in fact I even have some in my wood stove... I wonder if it would help to line the inside of the oven with it to keep the heat in? it looks like white batting but its thick and its got some heft to it. Any how if I had 220v out in my garage Id love to make an oven... powder coating is awesome for this stuff.

Now, your making me jealous! That would be awesome to have a powder coat setup! It's too bad i need some parts done soon, or i could send you some. Anyway, good luck with all of that and keep me posted. Maybe i will have some parts for you in the future. :)
