    Added a key to the 350X this weekend

    Too hot to ride this week so I got bored and took one of my spare 87 200x dash's and put it on the 350x. Fits great. Soldered the correct blk/wht and green factory Honda plugs into the wire harness exactly how it would be on the 87 200x. Everything tucks up neatly in the rubber boot as intended.

    As far as the bike goes. I got it off the original owner in California about 7 months ago. I temporarily have an 85 tank on there because the one it came with had been sitting and had some light rust in it. Other than that, this exactly how I got it. Its all original.

    I was lucky enough to come across a few dash's a few years ago before things got too out of hand. The plugs are repros flossyb made using the original one I let him borrow for the mould.

    I know we are very fortunate out here in the west with a lot of nice bikes to pick from that are not rusted out. I was glad I found this one. It was worth the trip to California to get it!

    Is Flossy still making a repro dash for the 87 X? I know he sold a few on ebay but I haven't seen any in the 3WW SHOP

    Yea, don't have to be lucky anymore to get a hold of a dash, just get a hold of Flossy and he'll hook you up with a dash and the dash plugs. Nice 350x!

    I just put mine on to check the fit and it is way off. I wonder if my triples are not true 350x triples. Mine is an 85, were there different triples between the years?

    The trees should be the same other than the 85's being silver and the 86's being black.

    You need these from an 87 200X to do it...

    Those dashes are neat! Would be neat to have a neutral light on it for the 350x lol. What ia flossy selling the dashes for? I have some spare keyed ignitions from 250sxs so that shouldn't be a problem. Also does anyone make that metal piece that is from the 87 200x?

    the key does not start the bike only allows it to be started so you still have to kick i over. Just looks like more clutter and things a bike does not need. looks nice, just not needed...like those extra wheels they put on wheelers.
