    Thx

    I really appreciate the Help. After I pick her up I will contact some of you for some parts and help. I need to find a manual for it before I tear into her.

    Hmm

    Hmm where do I start? How about, sorry 350xinNY I wanted to take a look at the Trike before I stopped by. But after I Picked her up I wish I had planned for more time and had gotten your phone number. This thing is pretty rough. He says his kid was riding it untill the hotwire shorted something out. But after looking at it, I dont think anyone was riding it. There are no brakes front and back, the silencer is just the shell, no air filter and it looked like the bottom of a Shop Vac in the Air Box, the wiring harness has a few problem areas along with the Hotwire deal instead of a key, oh yea and I swear that front end is from some other machine and the rim isnt right, along with 3 bald and dry rotted tires. Every piece of Plastic was held on by only one screw for each, and it seems that way for alot of the Parts allso. Oh and the shifter is welded on and it doesnt shift very well, (needs clutch lever and cable) I was gonna get some pics but it started to rain.
    Woo Hoo
    Im going to take her up to the car wash and Power Spray her good and hard. Bring her home take a real close look and compile a list, then I will probably end up selling it or parting her out.

    They always look better in the pictures!

    Didn't the seller tell you any of that stuff?

    If you do part it out I need a few things so already you can start making your money back.

    -

    No he didnt mention these problems. He said it ran fine untill he shorted it out. For the money its not bad and can be fixed. I just dont have the Workshop and the money comes in real slow. I took it to the car wash and cleaned it good. When the weather gets good I will take a good look at it and make a decision on what I can do. If there is Parts to be had I might be able to save her. Or I could trade it for a dirt bike or another trike.
