so i am getting 2 of them this sunday. both need some work but should be fun. guy i am getting them from dont know much about them, can u tell me anything about them from the pics??? year or anything special???
thx and look forward to being in the community :)

The one is an aftermarket cage, Pro ATV maybe. The other just has bars welded to the original hoop. I don't know the year cut over, but the ones with just a hoop are older.
-
The Odyssey in the second pic is a '77-'79 model.
I would like to know more about the history of the Odyssey in the first pic.
It is not a simple "bolt-on" type cage and doesnt retain much of the original frame design.
Both would be fun projects.

the guy told me the one is a challenger series and is rare, all i know so far....will post some more after i get em on sunday.
-
Im not up on all the different Challenger upgrades.
Here is a pic of the Challenger you typically see.
I will restore one to new condition as soon as I find one in this shape.
-
is this the primary forum for the Odysseys?? i like consulting other owners when restoring
-

Idk what you meant really with you question, but this is the general Odyssey FL250 section.
I knew I had seen these online before:

I'm glad you got them home. Let the fun begin.
-
yup, thats the guy
-
ok working on one of the buggy's. tearing it down to frame (i hope). trying to figure a color scheme now lol
-
Congrats on the buy!
The aftermarket cage... I dunno who made it. I know back in the 80's they used to race these things and there were a few people making cages for them. I have seen that design before, but don't know who built it. There are also a lot of people who have built different cages on their own over the years, such as the case of your other one. I don't really care for the way they did that cage, but that's a personal opinion. It IS better than the original 77-79 rollbar tho. Definitely safer, if it was done right.
If you want to know what year models you actually have, there is a sheet that lists all of the numbers from the different years, including engine numbers. Just ask, and I or someone else can get you the link to it....
