    It looked like ed dog crap when I got it. I mean big time. Took a lot of work. I actuall have got noting in it. Actually I have $200 in my pocket. LOL. All I had in it was $400. Then I parted out my parts bike, less the electrical parts, for $650. So thats $250 in my pocket for my 350X Resto. I will have to load up the pics of it when I got it.

    The exhaust sounds good. A little loud at times. But not too bad. I like it just fine. I used automotive paint to paint her up. The new decals set it off real good. And yes thats HONDA RED. Eat your heart out Matt.

    Oh yeah those are SX handlebars. Gives it a lot better feel and you more control over this lumbering trike. LOL

    I'm new to the forum, so please forgive me, but who is Harlan, and how do I get in touch with him to order some decals for my 250sx?

    Here she is before the resto kinda. The rear fenders were not there when I got it, along with the seat and sidecovers. The handle bars and headlight assembly was also not there when I got it, and the rear swing arm was bent quite a bit. That is the original tank doctored up a bit to look halfway decent for a while.

    Harlan Lysne's address is as follows.
