Re: New 1983 FL250 Project

Tonight I had a few extra minutes... I got my new seat cover in today so I decided to toss that on!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/FL250-HONDA-ODY ... 741wt_1270

That is the exact cover I purchased. I decided on the more expensive one as it had padding sewn into it, and it was extremely close to stock. It also came with two nice Honda Decals! EXCELLENT product. I am very satisfied with this purchase. I think it came out great.

The guy that made this keeps all of his patterns drawn up. i am trying to convince him to make an fl350 seat cover with extra padding in it... He needs a junk seat first lol

Project complete after about 600 dollars total! Well.. they are never truly complete.(I still need a intake tube for the upper to lower airbox) Here are some before and afters and a few bonus videos It has alot more torque than my last 250 odyssey which I attribute to better clutching. Thank you BIGHEAD for your help with this! Some plug chops coming soon Attachment: IMG_20120211_141936.jpg [ 37.86 KiB \| Viewed 2249 times ] Attachment: IMG_20120211_142059.jpg [ 31.7 KiB \| Viewed 2249 times ] Attachment: complete.jpg [ 68.08 KiB \| Viewed 2249 times ] Attachment: sid.jpg [ 61.95 KiB \| Viewed 2249 times ] We're still holding back on opening it up all the way as the motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) has been sitting for quite a few years.

Congrats on the build. Looks really good. Was that baffle stock or from another pipe? It did not look the same as some of the others I had. It's not the same or the little derection flap on the end is broke off.

Hey man, I have that heat shield for the exhuast pipe I could not get off before. I bought an impact screw driver to get them off. Free of charge just pay the shipping if you want it.

Engine up to full temp with that clutch and everything else stock it should spin the tires in grass when yo take off WOT (Wide Open Throttle), you played with the springs and weights yet? What spring you using currently?

The pickups in the tank are patent but no fuel is being pulled through the filter.. either that or the pump.
