Before it was taken apart the lights wouldnt come on with the engine running. I tested everything and there was no electricity coming out of the voltage regulator. Is there supposed to be elctricity coming out of it??

Motor bushings??? Are you talking about the spacers for the motor mounts on the long bolt? Or the rubbers on the skidplate?

Dads over at org can help you with bearings, he has a sticky in the classifieds, might as well convert to the taper neck bearings.

Yes there should be power coming out of the regulator, but if the regulator is bad it would blow your bulbs. I'm kinda talking out my rear when it comes to electrical, could be the switch, bad wire in the harness. or just bad bulbs.
If you don't want to buy online, Rob at Cycle Country in Salem is pretty helpful. He used to be a 350x rider until the 450r came out. lol

that thing looks awesome, I love the little head pipe! and its going to be all black I presume?(fenders and tank and seat?)

I started stripping down a 350x I bought yesterday, I got down to the axle(can't get the lock nut off), head pipe(typical rust jammed), and the front axle is rusted in. all those I need more mapp gas for, I'll have some before and after pics soon.

Actually Kintore its totally the opposite. Its going to have a white rear fender, a white front fender, a white clarke tank, white super tank scoops, and a black seat. Oh and what color do u think would look good as the headlight assembly?? I was thinking either black or white??

Looking good man! Get some clothes on that trike!

**BigTBones** · 02-20-2005, 01:29 AM

Ya, I have been told that the head pipe is a bassani or a dg?? Im not sure exactly what it is. All i know is that it isnt stock because on the stock header the heat shield mounting is set up different than this header! Can anyone tell me what it is?

Cool looking bike! Its going to look like mine. Its about due for a makeover though. I need to get my frame to the powdercoater.

**BigTBones** · 02-20-2005, 04:54 AM

I think I am going to go with the black headlight! I do need a set of new lenses & bulbs for the head light. Anyone know acout how much this will cost me??

Great restore job! Good work!
I'm a white freak myself and think you should keep the flow going and stick with a white headlight.
Another suggestion would be to PC or just paint the lower fork legs white & inbetween the the triples white. That would really look great (in my eyes anyway) and make the front end look quite different then anything else.

Agreed or not your project looks great!

Yours looks great too and have a ?. The rear plastic looks like there is no indentation in the mold for the kick start to go in proper. Is that correct or is that an illusion?
