Hello everyone. I haven't been active since winter 2013 on these forums. I had purchased an fl250 that was too warped (Engine) and messed up to fix. Now fast forward to 2 weeks ago, I am the proud owner of 3 fl250's ATM. I got very lucky and took all the opponrtunities I had in front of me. The one highlighted in this project is the one I have had the longest (a little less than 2 weeks)

This is my custom FL250. It came to me with a messed up roll cage and no brakes. It didnt idle well, and had some rusted out stock rims with 2 flat tires. I got it for $400. Here are some before pics when I first bought it, some work I have done, and some current pics now.

night I bought it:

[] cut and re-fit the netting
[] rollcage main part removed, black one (straighter one) added
[] netting added back to rollcage, secured and taut more than before, with a cleaner look
[] brakes adjusted and now work great
[] rims are holding up well with the rust retardant black paint I used
[] custom fabricated a stereo (removable too for wet weather)

Well that sums up what's been done so far. I have 2 other ones as well, and can include pics of them at some point when I get to taking them. I have plans to fabricate fenders for the rear of this machine, and to also fabricate a snorkel type air intake similar to stock form, but with two tubes for better airflow.

** Let me know what you think! Thanks!!

Nice work so far. I'm sure they're going to be a blast to ride. I'm sure once you get the others running you wont have trouble convincing your friends to come out and play. :-)

P.S. Love the stereo you mounted on the back. I had my old record player on mine but it kept skipping the needle. Probably a suspention issue..... Who knows! :shock:

That was almost like a trick statement. I would follow that up with "What suspension?" or better yet, "What REAR suspension?" These only had the "larger" tires for a rear suspension lol, makes for a fun, but bumpy ride. I would love an FL350R, but funds are too tight for something like that ATM.
