Hello guys and gals, First off, this isn't a traditional build thread. I actually already have most of the bike completed to my liking. But in the interest of helping others out and showcasing our bikes, I figured I would share. I've had a few people post and message me asking for details, so here we are. As I continue to build, I will add more to this thread.
My bike is a 2016 Husqvarna FC 350. I purchased it brand new in September of last year, just as the 2017's were rolling into the dealers. I got it from Hall's Cycles in Springfield, IL. By far the best buying experience I have ever had, motorcycle or otherwise. Jeff and the team there are top notch and have that great down home hospitality.
Enough jabbering, here are the pics......
First day I picked it up:

First day I picked it up:
WP AER 48 air forks (replaced the stock 4CS that came on the bike)
MX-Tech re-valved shock with 45 n/M spring
Dunlop MX3S tires
FMF titanium head pipe (SX-style) with aluminum muffler
Pro Taper front (14t) and rear (51t) sprockets
Pro Taper chain
Pro-Taper handle bars (Windham bend)
Streamline brake and clutch levers
Full Acerbis black plastics with skid plate
Decal Works full graphics kit
Guts seat cover
2017 one-piece handlebar clamp (now top and bottom clamps are one piece)
KTM frame guards (they go up higher on the frame versus the Husqvarna ones)
Moto Tape frame guard tape
Left and right side side panels have been drilled, as well as the right side airbox
WPS featherweight battery
The Shop
I do like it on the motocross track too. You can use the clutch lever like stock, out of the gate. Then the rest of the track, you don’t have to touch the lever. So sweet! All in all, I feel it was a great purchase, and well worth the money. I will be upgrading it with their Radius CX plates here shortly.
Good idea on the frame guards - I was waiting for the 18' ones!
Also I just got the same skid plate...looks like it has to be removed for oil changes?
Pit Row
Yes, it does have to be removed, but it is one 4mm allen-head bolt at the front, below the header. I did not opt to run the rear brackets that slide over the frame as they were a pain to get right. I just slide the plate into the rear part by the linkage, and then tighten up the front bolt. It has been holding up great just like that.
I couldn't get the rear brackets to line up, I was going to zip tie the back but I didn't want it to look too cheesy. Any issues with it staying in place for you without the rear brackets?
Any body know the paint code for husky? Maybe a paint pen to touch up the frame would be an option....
I'm glad to see this thing will stay in without the clips though!
One cool thing I've seen someone do, Joe Carlino (has probably the sickest KTMs on here) had skid plate tabs welded on the frame when he stripped it down for powder coating.
Thanks!
Paid a little more and went for the P3 Carbon Skid plate and bought their cool mounting bracket they have. -

THEN, I laid this down where the skidplate makes contact with the frame and it's been working very well.
