Cleaning Up My Old XR350

[dirtyoldman]

Sitting neglected I felt it was time to see if I could get it back to something that was fun to ride.Cleaned up the plastic,threw on some stickers,put a decent muffler on it,did a little work on the carbs and now I have a bike I look forward to riding

Looks like you did more than "cleaned" the plastic..?

Awesome, Gary! That thing is lookin great! I have been lookin around for a DS bike. I had 650 Honda many years ago, the thing was a blast!

Forgot to mention I painted the plastic with some Orange-Red Chevy paint from Pep Boys.The tank came out good just by scraping and buffing but the other plastic needed paint.

Thanks,it has some pretty good power and the suspension is pretty tight for an old bike.It's much lighter too

I remember when they came out. I wanted one sooooo bad.

Ok, I thought it looked painted.

It looks good, Gary!
