cnc adjustible levers
tinted aftermarket double bubble screen
removed pillion footpegs
integrated led tail light with turn signals, and removed rear indicators
diy tail tidy, soon to start stage 2 as mounts for indicators no longer required
k&n air filter, impressed at the difference a $50 part can make to the wee bike

FYI if you are still running your pillion seat you will need your pegs to pass a WOF....

I have done way too much to my 250, turned it into a unreliable heap of crap, fast though.

Aftermarket chambers
Aftermarket silencers
Carbon reeds
New ECU/CDI
Skimmed and o-ringed heads
Bigger carbs
Rear shock
Single ring pistons

so show and tell your little bits you add or take off your bike to make it your own order at least two of everything as going by you efforts to replace a clutch lever recently you'll ruin 50% or your bits before you get them on properly...

That's the story. Rear one is well flat through the centre...makes 'em handle like poo.

The grape vine is correct. I'm at Wellington Motorcycles on Kent Tce normally (im in bike sales though...not acc sales). But I've not been at work for the last 9 weeks due to having recently had an ankle fusion. Back in another three weeks all going well. Let them know if you can find tyres at a better price...and they'll beat it. Tell 'em I said so.

That's what I did.

I used to ride a Suzuki FXR150. I wanted more power so I sold it, saved money for 4 years and bought a ZX10R.

If anyones interested I have a IHI VF13 Turbocharger which could be adapted to power 250cc for less than a couple of grand. Im actually quite keen to put it on a GN250 myself

Hahahaha isnt that the turbo off a legacy.......... be bit laggy wudnt it?

The Reibz
11th June 2013, 10:37
Turbo is tiny. About 1 inch for the inlet. Would spool up very quickly under a 250's rev range.
I'm currently in the process of getting a VF8 onto a Hayabusa to run about 6psi. Cost me $90 for the turbo, much cheaper than 3k for a garret/turbonettics or 1k for a chinese peice of shit

'00 Hornet 250...

Nothing mechanical as i'm pretty happy with the performance at the moment.

Renthal wide bars (Cycletreads)
Integrated LED tail light/indicators (eBay new)
Smaller black front LED indicators (SCA)
Bar end mirrors (Trademe new)
Painted side covers, gauge rear and chain guard black

On delivery is tail tidy (eBay), CNC adjustable levers (eBay), twin "Dominator" headlight (Trademe)

Yeah, new swinger and shock conversion. Ed, three wheels are for small planes, not bikes.

Cool, going to get an exhaust for mine once I've done all the bodywork and painted it. Did you up jet it or anything?

I'm making my FZR look better, got new mirrors, LED tail light on it, indicators which I havent got on it yet - its had 4 other learners before me and seen better days, I'm doing an Aprilia tail conversion, fixing the fairings, respray.

If I sold my tools I couldn't work.
If I don't work I cant eat.
If I don't eat I don't shit.
If I don't shit I wil die.

Got me three solutions.

Learn about bikes, sell bikes or die


FOR sale. Tools. In perfect condition. Some never been used. The rest never been used correctly.
Reason for sale. Not so clever with bikes but love them and wife has reduced my will to live.

Naked front end
custom rear brake lever and linkages
after marked unbranded headers and rear can
alloy cnc adjustible brake and clutch levers
Alloy mirrors, just big enough to see your elbows
manual radiator fan override switch
Bridgestone battleaxe bt45s both ends
and one inexperianced rider having the time of his life clinging to the top LOL
