Its been awhile... still working on it here and there in-between other projects. I was looking for a lower seat pan for a while, then I was going to just make one but I bought this Jaz seat for $10 at a swap meet. I used my "expired" seat belts from my race car and now I just need to make wrist restraints.

I also found out the hard way that the
Engine is sensitive to the air filter/air box. The bogging problem I had was from my home made air intake. After I install a UNI filter right on the intake elbow it ran fine. I need to do a plug chop or figure out if I need to re-jet because of the open air filter.

I found a headlight at a garage sale for $1 and wired it up.

Last was sandblasting and painting the front rims. They had tubes in them because the rim orings where missing and the tires where shot. I bought a pack of orings from mcmaster carr part number 4061T272. I put them together with some used but decent tires that I had laying around.

Besides fenders then only other piece I really need is the lower rear skid plate. My boys still have their FL250s, my oldest moved onto a TTR125 and rides with me when I go out on my 400ex. My middle son is now looking at quads and dirt bikes too. However we talk about taking all three odysseys to the badlands and rip around a bit.
