Hi everyone, my husband told me about this site he has a zx14 and someone on his forum told him about this site for me. I have a Black custom painted 08 250r. Great bike love it. It is my first bike and right now can't see myself wanting another, I bought my bike new last season and before this season starts I wanted it to look different so we custom painted it, now i can't wait to ride!!!!

It has been jetted, and has a header and carbon fibre exhaust.

Ya Im still working on that. I got a fender elim kit but i don't really like it I would have to notch out my plate in order for it to even work, plus I would rather keep the stock lights un like the little leds that came with my kit. I am still looking.

Every time I look at your bike I see more details in the paint I love. :thumbup:

So you don't have to go chasing all the threads to find the examples you can do all you want on the fender with one cut - Hacksaw or Dremil - and no $$.

That is one nice looking paint job :thumbup: I am considering painting mine, just not sure what colours (I am looking at green and another colour and have it change colour depending on the way you look at it.)

He likes my bike cause it is light and maneuvers easier than his. But he still prefers the more power that his has lol. He says mine is a different ride.
