and so it begins my 350x build with much better pics

[Lonewolf-01]

This looks great! You are doing what I am hoping to do? Have you had any issues with finding parts? I just bought mine, so I am at the early stage of it. I first want to make sure it is up and running the way it should before I start the complete tear down. My headlights worked when I bought it, then a week later, they only work on Low, when I push and hold the button in? I looked inside the switch and I cannot see anything that looks wrong? Any thoughts, or where besides Ebay, I can find one? I guess the 350X had it's own switch, I believe due to the two head lights? Not sure, but that was what i have read?
Anyway, Great job!! Nice to see three wheelers getting this kind of attention!

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

They lied you can run the motor number if you want to please yourself

Shorty, they only make the 4 snows in 22"s, no 20's.......... They work INCREDIBLE!

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.

That would never happen to me!!

[cattle-dog]

after a month looking for a nice set of forks i found them and got the front end assembled.
i purchased a low hour engine that should be here in one week, it will stay stock other than a cam change. once the motor arrives i hope to have the trike assembled by middle of january.
the amount of time it takes to clean and paint every piece is amazing.
my goal is to have a few weeks riding on it before raffas ice fest, should be easy as long as everything gos right.
here it is on its wheels !!!!!!

i had to take it off the dining room table, with the frontend on it was to big, but its still sitting in the diningroom.

lookin very nice so far man!! gonna be a beast in the snow. i just gotta do some brake work to mine and it will be ready to go.

[MudBug]

looking great cattledog! I love the look of an 86

[Dirtcrasher]

Looking great CD, that headlight cover mounts to the forks themselves? I've never seen a 350X with a guard like that......

Regardless, it protects that headlight!

Keep up the good work

I understand that you put it together in the dining room...... but how are you going to get it out??

[cattle-dog]

dirtcrasher i got the guard from frank fmnrd here has them very reasonable price also.
Bretmd94 we have a large door in the diningroom i will swing one tire out first then rotate the other tire threw. if that fails i will pull the axle only takes a few minutes.
