Update on these 2 projects:
#1 350x has bad frame(see pictures), located and purchased new frame with title from 3 wheeler boards-I checked the compression out, it is at 175-stock is 178 warm,so I'll leave this motoe alone for the time being, it doesnt smoke at all, the valves may need adjustments but that's it.Went and purchased a DG full exhaust, DG grab bar, Renthal Bars,RAD manufacturing double bearing carrier,DURABLUE axle lock nut,Sidewinder front and rear sprockets with chain set(set great looking btw)and a new set of Maier plastics.I will strip this one down in the coming weeks while the Pilot is at Powdercoater.
#2 350x has some issues-currently the compression is low, smokes at start up, has many seals that are leaking on the
motor ((
Internal Combustion Engine ? )), and the rear carrier bearings are walloped. I am thinking of doing this motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) over with a 10:5-1 piston, cut flywheel, cams, valves, and a 400ex carb(which is a Keihin).Also the wire harness is in bad shape,sprockets and chain are toasted, the tank too is very rusted inside, I don't think it can be saved but I will look into it before selling on Ebay.It will need new plastics as well, but overall is in great shape, I do believe the sellers statment that he was second owner, they appear to have adult owned.I luckily have many unused new OEM parts leftover from my first 350x restoration job(see pictures on other thread)that I will use here, including carrier bearings, seals, headlights, fork seals, and many others as well.This project is going to sit for a while, I have 3 currently going and the cold weahter is here, so it sits for now.
