    Looks like that bike will come out nice just from your starting pictures. The rims look like they are in good shape. How much did you pay? How's it run?

    Very nice Job!!

    Your oil filter is actually an oil screen and you have to pull the case cover to get to it. It is at the bottom about center, kinda hides behind the gasket.

    i paid $500, does anybddy make a plastic tank for my bike? the stock one is rusted and has already rusted through and was repaired. I really wanted a 350x, but for the price and ease of restation I couldn't agrue. this is gonna cost alot less than my 250r to restore(that needed almost everything. 350x's around here go for $1800-2200 in mint shape, garbage ones $1000. I'm not gonna race modify it like I did the 250r, just a woods rider. three things left, new exhaust and works rear shock, I'd like to get a bigger carb too, but nobody makes one.

    forogt to menton is runs perfectly, I was doing donuts and wheelies the day I got it, unfortunitly I showed them up when I rode the guys(who I bought it from) modified warrior, but thats ok, when the x is done I'll be good competition. after this bike is done, I'm gonna put my golfcart back together(trx250r).

    I already ordered one, $150, its real hard to find 86 parts on eaby. if its not discontinued, I'm gonna try to buy a whole motor, I was wondering if its possible to weld the piece back in, I put the piece in and everything lines up

    I never was able to find plastic tanks for the 86's. Just keep checking e-bay. I finally found a really nice 87 tank on there.

    that tank is for a 83-85, I looked at my tank and the rear mounting is different. and the scoops are different.
