Welcome Tyler...
I have a 2012 250R and love it
I would keep with the stock shocks and just rebuild them myself much cheaper that way.
that is a very pretty paint job on your bike ! I love the metal flake !
but get you some sliders on it before you lay it down and scratch it all up as you'll never be able to match that paint !
....
I have a 16 tooth sprocket on front and a 43 tooth sprocket on the rear
and I could cruse at 70~75mph all day if my butt could handle it ! LOL
I did have to work on the chain cover in the front to get clearance though...
I just took a hack saw blade and cut the part that was touching off....
(technically I clamped the chain cover in the vice between 2 wood blocks and cut off the half moon protrusion with a reciprocating saw, it went pirty fast, and then bolted right up. no more shift shift and shift before going 30mph either... that's silly !
...
