Yeah, my brother had an '86 that had an '85 swinger and motor. I got lucky I guess... mine's all '86.

i have an 86 swinger if you need 1 its gonna need painted though.i have 86 plastic also that is in really good shape it has a 2inch crack though you probably want mint for your rebuild though.the crack aint all the way through plastic i currently have the front and rear plastic on my 350x but i would rather buy the meier plastic for when i crash and break it i wont feel so guilty

ok i repainted the swinger as it was gray and should be a silver, needless to say 7 coats of paint and one coat clear tomorrow morning i will spray one more clear then its done. hope to install the swinger tomorrow night last picture with the incorrect swinger spelling is with one coat clear.

when she tells you its to cold in the garage bring your trike in the house and build it on the dineing room table!!!!!!!
so here a couple of pics with the swinger and a nos shock installed sitting on our table !!!!lol
I have spent a ton of time cleaning bolts and rubber parts so they look as new as possible.

here are some way nice pictures of my progress, i am very pleased with the way it is turning out, a slower pace than i would like but searching for nice parts is not easy,
notice the aftermarket chain slider and the nos honda 350x shock.
as i said this is going to be my snow machine so thats why the four snows.

For me it's no problem, I'm single now. But for a guy with a gal to be living room building..... WOW. You got a keeper!

What size are those 4 snow rear tires?

And do you think I could run those tires in hard pack dirt with them not getting ripped up?

**cattle-dog** · 12-12-2010, 11:52 PM

the tires are 22x10x9, i know these tires have been used for dirt drags/grass drags but hard pack might wear them out quick,
I am waiting on the polished tripples to come back so i can assemble the frontend,

**cattle-dog** · 12-13-2010, 10:45 AM

ok i have a question for the 350x guys, the motor i have i was told its a 87 350x engine, can i verify this? is it even possible?
Thanks cattledog
