    350X Getting a little sun this morning

    Well here it is, what do you guys think? I'm gonna paint the exhaust today, and get it to slip together off the machine so i dont hit the powder coating too hard. I'm also going to take off all the ratty looking bolts and paint the heads on them just as a little detail work.

    I need to fit the chain, and i finally ordered the black fork boots. Just gotta find a rear brake line, and a new rear shock bushing (somehow got misplaced in the build)

    So what do you guys think? It's been a long time coming and it hasn't been outside and in one piece since last february just before the super bowl...

    What kind of exhaust is that? Looks loud. Nice bike, a little detail always works wonders.

    I was never able to ID the exhaust so i can't give you an honest answer. The head pipe is a cobra but not too sure about the muffler...

    Looks like a Cobra Megaphone to me. Nice trike though.

    Thanks guys, looks like its also a cobra piece, and based on the name i'd say its loud. I haven't had it fired with that muffler installed...

    I have a similar pipe, probably the same one. I always thought it was jardine. It was loud, but it seemed to have a different/deeper sound than the DG's and cobras, I liked it.

    HRC that looks like the same pipe, does it have a 'slide' adjuster on the side where the mount is for the rear bracket?

    Looks pretty nice but don't paint the heads of the bolts, just wire wheel them to get the rust off, they will look fine then, not quite as good as new but certainly much better then they are now.

    I have a 6" bench wheel I use but if you don't have one of those, just buy a small diameter one to put in drill.

    I need to do something, i was going to buy one of those stainless kits off ebay but the guys wouldn't answer my question about which set of motor mount bolts it came with.

    You mean where the bolt goes through the bracket, the hole is oval shaped for adjustment? If so I belive it was a bit.

    Is that a dura blue axle?

    Sometimes if you reverse the question sort of, giving them your bolt measurements and exactly which ones they are, then they will answer you.

    Thats not a Cobra
    The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it.
