i have seen those missile conversiion kits on ebay for the atc250r. they go for about 600. havent seen one for the 350x.

Missile made a kit only for the 250R. If you are looking to lose a wheel off of a 350X, you'll have to custom fab it.

[wilga12]

I'm pretty sure that this is not true, since I used to have return snail-mail, directly from Missle Engineering, That listed a part number for the 350-X conv. as well as the price. Also there was some "relatively little" thing that I was instructed to buy that wasn't included. ( I can't remember more specificly what this was either)

But do you think I can still find these papers?........no!!.......(Dang that "Murphy"!! ) :evil:

I'd sure appreciate anyone elses thoughts, especially on wether or not there are any competeing companies offering the same thing. Even if all I cculd find was a "custom swingarm" that would sure help out my self done attemps at this conversion.

[wilga12]

Well, I guess that I can't dispute that. So, I guess that I'm strictly on my own as far as this goes.

Does anyone have any "Fab Shops" in mind that they could recommend to enlist the help of ??

How about any prominent three and four wheeler swingarm shops??

That would probably be a promising place to start.

Thanks to all you guys for your time and attention..........Dave

hay yhy dont u get a streat bike swing arm and use that cuse sports bikes have some fat tires but i think it would be to heavy to hold up bu that is just me

[wilga12]

Thanks "Krazy' and "85ATC 250R" for your contributions.

I'll file that "Streetbike swingarm idea", for use later on in the project.


Anybody else?? I'm looking at that flawless swingarm and then over to the abrasive "chopsaw" I just can't hardly bring myself to cut it apart!! :shock:


Adios..................Dave

If money is kinda tight (isnt it everywhere) Id go to a local Vocational school, or even high school. Sometimes you can find students that are really good, and will build it for the price of materials and a case of beer. (they also get a discount on materials, so you win either way)

Thats what Id try to do.. and maybe even build the swingarm out of aluminum,... it would be one of a kind!

Any machine shop could do it, but its how bad they really want to, and how deep your pockets are.

[wilga12]

Thanks "Chainsaw" super idea there is a terriffic comm. college not too far from here................

[atc krazy]

or you could get to huge pices of rectongular tubingand weld it to the frame and get the front axle of on atc that uses a rear tire as the front example: honda atc 200 like mineand drill holes in the tubing and fit it together and you will alsow have a back braKe

Got a line on the missile conversion kits for your 350.... Not cheap... but there outthere. Let me know!

[Mobular]

Yep, I just happened to be going through one of my older DW mags, and there is an ad for a Missile 350X 2 wheel conversion. There's an old test posted at http://fly.to/TrikeHeaven . Good luck.

i wouldnt want to waste a nice 350x on that, i would just find one of those Fatcats...

[AirManCam]

Or you could just sell the 350x and buy a dirtbike. Dont chop it up.

[BIGCRIP28]

just get a cr 250 dirt bike, it will smoke a 350x even on 2 wheels
