Hi, I am in Cedar Springs, MI (just north of Grand Rapids). My godfather had a couple new FL250's when I was young, got to play with them. I recently got a quad, and my wife is a paraplegic (car accident) and I wanted her to be able to run around on trails with me. I instantly thought of the Odyssey's being all hand controls. So after searching for a few months, I now have a 81 250. She has been in it once, and thinks the suspension is too rough, so I am looking for a 350/400 soon, but I have to get the 250 in good enough shape to sell for at least what I put in it.

Anyway, Real name is Dave, nick name of Smash but it had nothing to do with anything offroad

If anyone sees a really good deal on a 350/400 in the Michigan area, please let me know. I'll get some pic's of the 250 up real soon. Its a definite work in progress.

Hi and welcome to the site.

If you have fabricating skills you might consider a rear suspension mod for the 250

Whats nice about the 250's is the price and as you know the lack of suspension sux, parts are plentiful and usually cheap, I liked the 250 because it was lite and narrow great for the trails.
