Tank's 1985 350X build is FINALLY all done! ;-)

Well, as I had stated in my last post, I do indeed, have a roller

Everything went as smoothe as glass when it came to installing the fresh SS bolts. I only had one issue, when changing the front brake pads, one of the plastic screw in protectors gave me issues, that's it..

Thanks to my brother for doing some grunt work

Here are some pics. of my progress

I like the way it's coming together

Leave me alone while I'm working

There's nothing better looking than freshly powdered hubs in my oppinion on an X

Here it is as a roller

Looking sweet tanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Is that rust on the upper fork tube? If so spray some wd40 on it then clean it.

**Thorpe** · 04-18-2009, 08:57 PM

Same on that rear axle... Looking good man!

**tanks350x** · 04-18-2009, 08:59 PM

It's actually a small amount of grease, I had to put a little bit in the trips to get the fork tubes to slide good, I just forgot to clean it off, Thanks for reminding me though

Damn, I didn't even notice the fact that I put the rears on the wrong sides

Is having grease on the inside of the clamp area a good thing?

I wouldn't think so.

Try sliding a flat head screwdriver in between the outside grove to open them up.

Hey DC, I got your message about the clutch

around 10pm when I finally took my phone out of my pocket. When I'm on my HD I can't hear chit. I'll give you a call sometime in the early afternoon, or maybe before noon. Don't sweat it about being the bearrer of bad news, I'm glad you noticed it. And I'ts a good thing I have a spare engine to rob parts from

Looks awesome, Roy. Keep up the good work.

I tried to get a good pic of all the blu-ing on the clutch plates, every time I took a different angle it would only catch one or two of them. Anyhow, here are your plates, someone must have smoked the clutch and only replaced the fibers.

I still have to coat and blast the other stuff but, the rain doesn't help......

**tanks350x** · 04-21-2009, 10:11 PM

And how's my burnt plates???

New complete gasket kit should be in tomorrow

**Russell 350X** · 04-22-2009, 03:45 PM

**Dirtcrasher** · 04-22-2009, 04:55 PM

^ I think he's gonna run "I'm out of money so I'm using the one from my other motor clutch"
