Holy shite! It's a wonder why Kawi doesn't offer a white 2fiddy in their line up. That thing is sweet looking. Shame she got layed down and hope you were not hurt. :thumbup:

Yup I agree, heaps nice and clean.
My favorite colour now for the new 250's.

Anyone have any idea on how much this would cost?

Toyota White, don't quote me but I was told it was the only pure white. Ford and Chryslers whites have either a blue or yellow tent to them.....:o

Looking good, love the rim tape, but IMO the cowl would look better in flat/matte black.

It cool you got your dryr painted to match;)
Are you going to have the seat cowl done too?

Are you going to have the seat cowl done too? Yeah but i'm unsure if you can paint blk plastic white? Bc its not like the cowl was painted blk, kawi used blk plastic.:confused:

scuff it and rattle can it with a flat or matte black... it'll come out fine. they have some of that paint thats specifically for plastic now.

you can probably do it white as well, but its harder to get a nice professional looking finish on a piece like that with glossy spray paint (don't think you'd want to do it flat white).

scuffing it and a good primer is the way to go... you can paint it any color you want.

The seat cowl should be painted black from the factory.

That bike is killer. I think white is the best color on a 250.

yeah i'm getting sliders urgh..... but the question is will i have to buy the stock fairing? or an aftermarket one?

JaeL
June 15th, 2009, 07:45 PM
What I wanna know is will these fairings work?
They seem to be the same as the stock ones but a little bit cheaper. I'm going to have to repaint regardless so I don't need a prepainted one. The reason i'm concerned is because normally the after markets ones are in two pieces to include an belly pan. This one seems to need to be purchased separately.

I haven't added the turn signal yet. Still waiting on the paint to cure some more.

CRASHED again. lil scrape on the rear cowl and crack on front fender. Front fender has been repaired and painted black. Once I see it in the day light tomorrow, I'm considering doing the entire tail black... BTW Sliders saved my plastics big time just some lil scratches to the clear coat on the right side fairings.

Jael,

Man nice looking bike!
Now you need a Scorpion Leather Stinger Jacket (White) and a Helmet to Match!!

"Stormtrooper" look! :D

When you FIRST painted it white, after 1st crash.. (In the OP* )

What kinda Front Blinkers are those?

I like them. :thumbup:

Big flush mount blinkers > small aftermarket ones! :p

More visible!

During your crashes, did you come down on that sided Leg of yours? :ouch:
Id imagine if during a hard leaning curve, the bike would lay down on top of your Leg, crushing or twisting your Knee and Shin! :(

JaeL
May 2nd, 2010, 06:08 PM
Scorp I got both set of blinkers off ebay. And luckily I didn't go down on my knee. On the last crash I left a shoe print on the tank that I had to buff out from where I pushed off into my supermanish dive into the ditch.

Love the paint. Is that straight white? I am getting my parts back from the shop this weekend. Hopefully I can finally put mine back together. I gave up the SE theme for an all white with blue / grey pearl. Can't wait till it hits the sun.
