So went to pick up two FL250's one of which was the reason why I wanted to start back into odysseys. It was one my dad had when I was young and he built a side by side that set on the stock frame. Anyways the place that had it was a motorcycle/atv junkyard. I got our old FL250 and another parts rig and also went digging for more odds and ends that I got thrown in for free in the deal. While digging I found some FL350 parts, bunch of air wings, front rim, snorkel box, skid plates, and a bunch of other FL250 stuff. The main thing that got me excited was I found a front bumper for a FL350 which i needed. Got home and realized it doesn't have the main tube that goes horizontal, and then realized it is a bumper off of a FL350 prototype buggy as seen in all the original brochures. This bumper and some FL250 stuff was in a wood crate outside but was all new, but is dirty and some had a little rust around the welds since its been sitting outside all these years. Not sure why the bumper looks pinkish in the pictures, but once i wash it up its as red as the underside of my roof on the FL350. Thought this was too cool not to share!!

That's quite a find, you can only wonder if they have the rest of the machine somewhere! Do you have any pictures of that side by side fl250? I'd love to see one. -Jacob |

That Bumper was sold on the very early oddys then there was a upgrade to the stronger type not long after they were released, if you look a standard the lower part of the frame the lower bolt holes are still there on all the frames So yes it is a the original early bumper but no cigar (LOL) Here is a page out of the Honda shop Manual UPDATE /revised May, 1985 13 Frame parts/Exhaust Muffler pages 13-1 and 13-2 yeoddy

Yup, well even the newer bumpers have little tabs on the bottom of them that bolt to the lower holes. I'll get a picture up of the "side by side odyssey" it was more of a utility thing. |
