Looking good so far...don't cut any corners and you'll be downright GIDDY when you look at what you're building.

Sorry goat, I got the 2 rear cusions last year when I first got it, got the front ones from edog.. It's amazing what WD-40 does for them

The rest I just took off the other bike

Looks good!!!

Thanks Chris.. I have every intention on keeping that foam on there. The next thing will be getting the trees on, I just hope it will fit in the front seat of my pick-up after they are installed

Just waiting on parts

You know I'll help you powder some odds and ends. The other stuff I wouldn't hesitate to drop some EDOG on them just to keep them fresh.

Thats why I try to own 2 of everything, that way I can repair and PC parts and still have a rider while I'm finishing things nicely.

Like I said to you, this is a great time to clean up, grease and re-tap everything and a SS bolt kit for 100$ would be an asset! Grease the snot out of every single bolt on that thing and you'll be so glad you did!

Nice thick grease on ALL and every spline (even front sprocket!) will keep them nice for years to come

Tomorrow is supposed to be nice, I'm gonna try and get out of bed and coat a few things on the 350X - ESP my headpipe!! I may even throw the Supertrapp and 400EX carb on there

Not very many plans for it, a good cleaning and maybe fix one problem if you never got around to doing it

**Dirtcrasher** · 03-30-2009, 09:01 PM

You may want to wash off the Armor All from EDOG's previously owned motor and actually address any mechanical issues..................

I wonder if he could fit on an RC car??

looks great so far, what are you doing with the old frame? with all the parts ive ammassed for my 350x build, Im a frame and wireing harness away from being able to build 2. I will be keeping an eye on your build, looks like your enjoying it. the red fork boots are cool, who makes them?

**aldochina** · 03-31-2009, 01:08 AM

i remember seeing a sweet 350x build a few months or so ago, with a emerald green frame, looked like it was gonna be real trick! anyone know anything about it, id love to see if it was ever finished.

Thanks! As far as the old frame, I really don't think you would want it at all, It has been welded a few times at the typical spot that most 85 frames crack at. It did hold up on our last NH ride though.. I got the fork boots on ebay, here is the store on which I got them at

I spent a couple of hours over DC's house when I got out of work, and after taking a rashion of

, I decided to get a complete set of hardware bolts for it, from the Fastner Guy...DC was right, in the long run, I'll be glad that I did
