Well im not a regular poster on here, but i was looking for opinions on my bike that i have just finished fixing/restoring/painting.
I brought a 05' gsx250 about 4 months ago in a sad state, but it only had 700kms on the clock (not even broken in). It looked average from the outside, but under all the stickers etc, the fairing were in Very Very bad shape. So i decieded to take it off the road, fix it, then repaint it.
Before it came off the road all fairings had major damage, some fairings were missing parts of the fairing, and the tank hd two large dents and about 4 small. The wiring was also a mess and basically the whole bike needed to be redone. bar the ignition system.
This is what it looked like before i took it off the road...
So the fairings were all taken off and the wiring was striped out, the wiring was all redone in the factory coloured wires to make it easy to use the manuals etc. A killswitch was added to the mix for that extra bit of saftey...
The bike was striped back to the ABS plastic, all the cracks were plastic welded at home then refiberglassed on the back for support. One new lower faring was purchased as there was too much gone. The new fairing provided spare plastic for the welding and to sculpt new parts of the front fairing that were completly missing. Bog smoothed out the plastic welds, and the bike was then primed and painted in 2K Gloss Black. Clear coat was applied and toodaaaaa......
