    Nicest black 225DX to grace the earth!

    Just kidding Edog!!!!!!!!!! Can anyone spot the custom modifications done to this fine ride? It runs good after a quick carb cleaning but the rear bearing are beat. I have 2 of these and should be able to make 1 nice bike out of both. The guy was asking $350 not running but I got it for $200. The back tires are brand new and the plastics are decent. These things are wheelie machines! What are they worth in fair shape? Enjoy the pictures.

    I already have a black front fender. I'm surprised no one noticed the custom hydraulic rear brake and the mystery Suzuki exhaust. There is also the complete electric start delete. On a good note the airbox isn't broken like most.

    I don't know what it's off of, but it won't come off this bike since the rotor is welded directly to the axle!

    "I don't know what it's off of, but it won't come off this bike since the rotor is welded directly to the axle!"

    That explains why the rotor is on the wrong side of the differential. If he had welded it to the other side, you wouldn't be able to get the axle off.

    Very cool for the price!
