Hi Folks,
So I've recently acquired a Ninja-Turtle Green GSF250, it’s in a pretty awful state and needs some work to say the least. I’m by all means no bike restorer but have had some experience modifying cars and have ridden Motocross bikes since I was 12 and have always been keen on the idea of having a road bike so this is the first of many I feel and I'm keen to start work on it.
I have several stages in mind but time will tell as to what actually happens to this beasty. Im not a fan of jumping on the Internet and listing off all the great and wonderful things that are going to be done and then it just never happening but I am a fan of coming on here and sharing the weird and wonderful things I do and having people’s advice and input so that’s what this is all about.
Stage 1
Get the bike road legal and enjoy it
New Tires
New fork seals
Possibly all new LED lighting
Stage 2
This will perhaps happen in the depths of winter when it’s not so much fun riding.
Strip the bike to a bare chassis
All new paint and colour scheme
Possibly a freshen up in the engine department, new rings, valve stem seals, clearances etc.
Stage 3

So far all i've done is clean the carbs and remove the wheels and am now looking for a shop to remove the rubber off the rims as id like to get them sand blasted and painted black. Anyone know of places near Mt wellington area? proving harder than i thought.

Slow progress but i'm starting to get it looking more acceptable.
Also DIY balanced the carbs which has removed the bogging in lower rpm
