Here's a new "Toy" I recently acquired...

1984 225 DXL... I actually bought for some parts to use on my DXN.

I got it from a guy I know here in town, his kids were riding it just before last winter then broke the tang off the floats while trying to adjust them so they threw a tarp over it and it sat until this Wednesday.

there's something up with the rear suspension, maybe the bushings, when you lift up on the grab bar, the whole frame moves maybe 5 inches or so before the tires leave the ground...lol

That's a hell of a nice parts bike haha, it looks like it would clean up pretty good with minimal work and if all it needs is some carb parts would be a killer back up machine.
