Resurrection
Figured I would post up some pics of our restoration of my brothers TRX350d.
As we bought it: http://p1.bikepics.com/2008/02/07/bi...175756-800.jpg As you can see it was a bit of a huge mess. http://p1.bikepics.com/2008/02/07/bi...175758-800.jpg Notice the lack of crucial axle pieces. Nowhere to bolt the wheels! http://p1.bikepics.com/2008/02/07/bi...175759-800.jpg Here is when we were reconditioning the rear axle. This is where the solid axle bar with the ring gear goes and the pinion goes in the portion to the left. http://p1.bikepics.com/2008/03/19/bi...222460-800.jpg |
Awesome , this is going to be a good build
|
After we got the axles sorted out we started on the engine. We put a new cam in it and discovered the timing chain guide was broken and would slap back and forth but not hurt much other than be really annoying.

History: we did all this stuff to my blue 1988 model before we got this one. It is in the background here as a sign of things to come:
http://p1.bikepics.com/2008/03/19/bi...222475-800.jpg Would you believe this is the same plastic that we began with? Believe it! http://p1.bikepics.com/2008/03/30/bi...235301-800.jpg http://p1.bikepics.com/2008/03/30/bi...235310-800.jpg Halfway there on cosmetics! Notice the painted wheels, exhaust heat shield, and side cover. http://p1.bikepics.com/2008/05/25/bi...300861-800.jpg |
More sanding to get off the camo duct tape and some more metallic orange paint for the rear plastic (We had tons of cans of mopar spray paint this color). The racks we resprayed in gloss black.
http://p1.bikepics.com/2008/06/05/bi...311466-800.jpg Nearing the end of the build we found these floor boards. They were a nice touch. We had trimmed out the rear plastic with the fender flares by then. http://p1.bikepics.com/2008/06/28/bi...336260-800.jpg They keep your feet from going through if you slip off the peg. Awesome safety feature! http://p1.bikepics.com/2008/06/29/bi...336266-800.jpg http://p1.bikepics.com/2008/06/29/bi...336281-800.jpg |
Finished product!
http://p1.bikepics.com/2008/07/07/bi...345167-800.jpg Gotta love how easy these are to work on and how well supported hondas are. Almost every part on these can still be bought brand new. |
