Looking good J!m.

Thanks!

I brought home the new U-nuts for the axle clamp. Once those are on I can mount the bars and get the front done.

I’ve ordered Honda bearings for the rear axle. I’m looking into plating with a company my employer does business with. I can get Cad or maybe I’ll go with TiN on the rear axle, since the yellow zinc fades so fast. Cadmium would be cool.

Does that wire clamp/guide thing look to be installed correctly? I didn’t get a photo before I took it off and who knows if it was right when I got it anyway…

I'm no 350Xpert, but the guide on the L side of the top triple clamp looks correct to me. As for the guide in the middle of the top triple clamp, I've never seen that one before. It must be completely hidden by the headlight bezel.

200x has it as well but that one mounts under the triple, not in front.

I guess I’ll figure it out when I run the wires down.

Update on the wire guide: It is shown mounted 180 degrees from how I have it above. I did that, and it seems reasonable- most of it tucks under the top bridge and it sticks out to guide the cables down the center; wires on the left side under that clip.

Looks great! I got on because I saw what I thought is a great idea on fender extension. If you want to screen shot it before it disappears. Here it is:

I see it but what was used for the extensions?

Looked like what Polaris used on the scrambler R/es
