CBR250r MC19 parts

**Hurrie** · 26th April 2010, 00:24

Hey
i just bought my second cbr250 after crashing my old one

and i was wondering if there was somewhere i could find any performance bits and pieces for it or even just parts for looks.

any recommendations on things i should do it? i'm thinking about getting braided steel brake lines. any suggestions?

We should have a traffic light grand prix.

I recommend that you don't fuck around with it too much. Hook up a set of heated grips and a radar detector mount so you don't end up having to walk home. The engines on these bikes are very highly tuned from standard, so any money you spend on performance upgrades will yield little performance increase. You're better off learning to ride better than to spend money on the bike so do a good service on the bike, put in new brake pads etc and saving your cash for a big bike once you get your 6F.

yeah i've come to that realisation as well, do you know where i can buy that mount from? and i agree i'm investing in some motorbike training courses to help me get a hang of it better. are you gonna go to the ride tomorrow?

I'm not sure where the best place to get a radar detector mount is, what ride are you talking about? I can hook you up with a good radar detector at a reasonable price if you're keen.

I've got a mate who's just lost his licence so he's selling his radar detector to pay off his fines.

oh okay
what is it and how much? and what condition is it in, so ride tomorrow?

**SMOKEU** · 30th April 2010, 22:13

It's a Beltronics, I'm not too sure of the model. It's in a good condition and he wants $350 for it. As for the ride tomorrow, I might be keen for a quick ride but I've got somewhere to be tomorrow afternoon.

Yeah it's meant to be pissing down with rain tomorrow and I have to go all the way out to my mates place out in the country side, last time I went out there in the rain my back wheel started to slide out from underneath me at 80kmh. It was good fun. If you get the cash let me know and I can hook you up with that radar detector. I think he said it's an RX65 or something like that. All I know is that it picks up the baconmobiles from well over 1km away.

**Hurrie** · 30th April 2010, 22:22

haha nice nice, i've done that once when i first bought my bike, was heading home going just over 80 in the rain with shitty as tires every time i changed gears it would slip a bit lol but in guessing you were on a lean. And mate i'm jobless and living off student allowance so thats probably not gonna be anytime soon haha
