    My 350X left for a new home yesterday... :(

    I decided it was time to free up some cash and think about my next project. So the 350X got sold..kinda sad but I got a good price and buyer was happy also.

    Beautiful machine but since I am really into mud riding and it is so hard on the 350x it only sits unused.

    It's story began as a fixer-upper I found locally..mechanically well maintained, but the cosmetics were trashed.

    Then one day I went for a ride with Tapper, Rosco and my brother..did alot of damage and cost me more money for being this hard on it. Tank painted(again), decals..this time Harlans, some Tapper products(skid plate, spocket guard, front fender support-not shown in this pic), rear brakes and chain. Plus hours of cleaning!!

    Then after that cleaned it up again..didn't ride it much after that! A few times on the dirt roads in the county, but it mostly sat..
