Just thought I'd pop a note in to say I saw you collaborating with Mike Sabo then came over here to start watching from the beginning of the 350x build. Good luck!
When Honda dropped that 350X on the world in the spring of '85, I was very, very close to trading in my 200X. But it was completely paid for and would have finance the difference so I decided to stay with what I had. All these years later I'm still happy with it, but in the back of my mind I still wish I had bought the 350X and kept the 200X. My front headlight bezel was smashed and couldn't find find a replacement for a reasonable cost so I replaced it one for a '85 250R. It looks darn good, better than the factory setup. Have fun with it Mat.
I like the 85 atc250r bezel more then the 86. What headlight did you end up running? I know the 85 light is 5" and the 86 is 6". As far as the 350x goes I like the double light set up. 350x will more then likely be up for sale after it's built....I can't keep them all.
@@garagemcmatt I ended up finding a '85 oem 250R headlight that was near mint. At $200 it was the cheapest I could find but all I needed to do was plug in a new bulb and bolt it in. I'll email you a picture of it.
So many of the 350x engines fell to a trend around here any everyone was putting them on 250x frames and also 250r frames I had a 250X/350x loved that engine lots of torque
I bought the same handlebar switch, everyone has the same issues but mine are, When the light switch is ON the taillight is on, headlight is off, when I switch the lights to OFF- the headlights are on and taillight is off lol. Everything else works like it should. cHiNa….😅
We stock OEM Petcocks ;)

I think the rear grab bar is Swamp Outlaw. Use to be Vintage powersports surplus (Noah Olson)
It came from vintage, I was going to run it till serwa came out with the repro

I thought about doing that with my extra engine. I have a 91 250xwith a locked up engine sitting here. It probably won't be a thing tho
Only mistake I made was to bore ir and put a 12 to 1 piston in it run great made it terrible to kick lol
@daracing2506 yeah that's a bit much lol

Lol it is what it is. I still have 2 oem switches maybe I can pull one apart and use the new plastic
Time wasters can’t stand them we call them (tyre kicker’s)in the uk
Unfortunately that's 9 out of 10 people that want to buy something
