350X baja race buildup

[oscarmayer]

Thanks manbearpig, I am defiantly buying 2 of everything and defiantly building for dependability. Trying to find a longer travel is not easy for an old trike.

This project is defiantly a whole new learning expirence for me. I built drag, mx, cx and putter trikes but this is my first go at a Baja build like this.

Do your research and send some emails to suspension companies. you'll be able to find something


See you in Ensenada 2016 ;-)

Sounds like a very cool project.Are you going to run a larger oil cooler or the dual set up?
I almost burned up my motor running through a section of huge rocks and root balls the size of cypress trees where I couldn't get out of 1 and 2nd gear for 7-9 miles, had to stop and let her cool down while about 5 miles in.
Good Luck,update and let bus know how you did.

Running a 3-4Xs larger cooler. That should handle it well. I could even install 2 if I did it right.

Where do you find a bigger cooler?

[Dirtcrasher]

Axis makes a great dual spring, dual adjustment for just about anything.

Yours is a straight mount, mine is a linkage with the 450R rear end on it.

Pricey, but I'm getting one.....

[oscarmayer]

eBay!!! . It does. It mount like stock but since this is all mod I going to make a custom mount to bolt to the trike. Let me find you a link to one likened on eBay.

This is just like the one I am using it is 3Xs the stock Cooler size and over double thick. I think 2 of these should do the trick.

ok I got some good insight on some things I can modify to help me a lot. Does someone have a good set of 83-84 250R damper rods for the forks? I need a good set we can use when redoing my 350x stuff. I will tell ya'll later what it helps with once I tested and confirmed. Promise., but for now I just need a set. I'll pay for them and shipping. just need them.
I will also post in the for-sale section.

[oscarmayer]

Anyone? I really need at least 1 set asap.

I am at work right now so please excuse my questions. Does someone have the dimensions of the headlight shroud for the 350x? I want to see if I can get an led setup that can replace the stocker light sin their sockets or maybe just cut the center of the shroud and put 1 big one in.

Does someone know the stock Watt rating for the lighting coil tot he headlights? sorry at work and not able to really dig into that right now.

Thanks for the help guys!

Give this thread a look regarding LED lights for your 350x.
Head light dimensions are roughly 4.25" wide by 2.75" tall for each light socket or 9.5" from edge to edge if you remove the center bar. Measurements are rough quick measurements using the edges from the front of shroud.
Stock watt rating is 200W@5,000 rpm.

Just to give a rough idea of the light bar if used for mine:

Thanks a million f76! your a life saver. now to see what I can piece together. today at work is a slow day so I have a few moments to get things going.

[oscarmayer]

I decided the headlight shroud is not the most important item. I needed it to work. and this works amazing. I got 2. (1 as a spare)


my next big purchase is a Trail Tech Voyager GPS computer. (this one)

This is the battery I plan to purchase for using.
