Just attach the motor on the hair drier to the chain? Probably quicker like that

I feel dirty, bad-mouthing the gorgeous GN

Is this the sort of thing you're after?

The GN250 is a hardmans ride, which is why all these pussies on KB badmouth them too much

Ahahaha well mine handled 400kms of twisties today no problem... but the damn sprotsbikes kep leaving me behind on the straights....

Threw it into plenty of corners with reckless abandon and it just said to me "is that it?"

Everyone else on the ride was genuinely impressed apparently

You'll ride fast on a more powerful bike, huh. The straights are what the NOS/hairdryer is for! Have you not been listening?

Aha no. I'd probably last about 10mins on a more powerful bike. I'm thinking sloooow learning is good

And yeah... i think the GN could benefit more from some aerodynamics, it gains 20+kph from going flat on the tank.... and new bars would definitely help with that, the reach is a little close. Also new pegs and modified gear/brake levers so they could be back another 3-5inches...

It would be fun doing all this, and itd end up a really decent bike. But at the end of the day, unless you've got wads of spare cash its all a bit pointless...

Fairings -Maybe expensive, but everything else people have mentioned (nos kits, rearsets, clipons, dropping the forks, and battery operated DIY blowers) are all pretty cheap. The Nos kits are a couple hundred max for pocket bikes, rearsets could be home made with some shitty metal and a mig, for clipons steal some off some shitter in the junkyard, and the rest is self explanatory. All that is fine but I'd feel a little silly on a gn with full fairings lmao

4 10mm drill bit (for a few more holes in the end of the exhaust)

look, you're all going in the wrong direction here, turbo-ing, pffft, supercharging, better, but only with exposed throttle butterflys. But to go one step more awesome, put some pnuematic valve springs in there, get that fucker up to 20,000 rpm

Yes it is that's the whole point of the thread -turning a gay bike into a cool bike. And who better to make the bike cool then 'Deano extremo who drinks primo and eats burger kingo' tm.
