Project 350x is done, so what year is it?

**250rBeast** · 10-27-2004, 10:55 AM

On my last post about a week ago I stated that I wen't to look at a very nice 86 350X, it was near mint, all original except for the DG pipe and silencer, and the uni drop-in filter. The guy wanted 2000 firm, I offered 1800 cash on the spot. He didn't take it. One thing though, upon VERY THOROUGH inspection, this 86 350X also had that DRILLED HOLE ON THE SWING ARM. The hole was definately factory, it was threaded, and it was not flush, it had welding around the edges. I don't know what that hole is for but its definately on 86 350x's. My 85 does not have it.

250rBeast, So yours has one to maybe, this one was a clean cut but seems way to big for a greese nipple, I had 1 85 swing arm no hole, 2 86 ones and no hole, and then the one that was on the 87/86 had it, I used it for shooting penetrating oil into it, the chain adjuster always worked better on this one, I am trying to think but I beleve my westcoast swing arm has a greese fitting on it.
But how the hole was on the factory swing arm was cut really nice, or stock, it had factory paint on it and on the side of what would have been cut was the stock paint as well.

So must be near impossible to come up with those fabled "AAA" batteries up there. No more pics ever surfaced from this guy. Come on. Don't even give him the satisfaction of breaking anything down it wasn't an '87 we know it and so does he. A virus....wow. And if he knew anything a virus will most often attack a chip set, motherboard, or straight up operating system on the computer. Not a hard drive. U simply remove the hard drive and put in a portable case or in another computer and boom everything is back. Every excuse was so pitiful. Y is it every supposed rare trike or '87 questionable models have the WORST photos u have ever seen? I would hire someone to us the frigging Hubble telescope to get pics of an '87 250R or an '87 350X if I honestly thought that's what it was. Wouldn't u think u would take videos and just the best pics u could?? Especially if u know about 3 wheelers.

A buddy of mine ended up with that trike (we live in Canada) and when he first mentioned it on these forums (he was unaware of the history behind it) everyone kinda blew up in his face:

And here's a video of the trike if you're interested... kind of bad quality cause it's a helmetcam, but you can tell it's the same trike:
