    The making of an ultimate GN250

    Hello Gn250 owners/enthusiasts, this one right here has had some accessories done to it today.
    Installed.
    - Tom tom GPS, mount. (All hands free setup waterproof)
    - I phone, mount.
    - Predator lights.

    So now the rider can have the luxury of mapping out the destination, or finding out where the next speed camera is (even though it is a GN). While ringing up Cycle Treads saying "is your refrigerator running" or calling yourself "mutumbi" demanding cycle treads deport your family back to Nigeria. Also the stock Gn250 light is very bad so the two predator lights give it that extra sight at night. With an easy on/easy off mount, plus another mount for the video camera which I will post a pic of a bit later on.

    This pic shows the current installments.


    Here is the video of the bike and a step by step guide on wiring up the GPS. Showing the lights too.



    Future plans
    - Turbo
    - NOS
    -Paint, powder coat mount
    To the point where it is crazy fast for a GN, and hopefully in a private location there might be some good footage. A fire breathing Gn250.

    Forget CBD anger this is the shizz for touring.

    Ummmm, sorry mate, but what you've done there is added accessories, not "modified".

    Isn't the additional weight of the tomtom and the camera reducing your top speed?

    Let me know when you put turbo and. I want to see a GN desintegrating at moderate speeds (even with turbo you can't make a GN go at high speeds )

    As for nos, you can always try a cheaper option with exactly the same outcome: put it on the bonfire

    You see thats the beauty of it.

    A bike no one likes.

    A slow bike.

    A crappy bike.

    Yet we gave it a chance, took its hand, pulled it out of the dumpster and said "we are going to make you something". That is what makes this project unique.

    It actually cruises at 120kph well, before it was struggling to keep to 100 on the open road. Im tempted to make some wheelie vids but it depends.

    I'm guessing you'll need to bump/kick start the bike every morning?


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Hold on. You added GPS and stuffs and that increased the bike's topspeed from 100kph to 120kph?

    I'm surprised the alternator didn't explode from all the extra load of the 'accessories' like the lights and charger etc.

    arent there videos on youtube of you doing highchairs and stuff at the cliffhanger? Maybe you can do it?
