Street fighter / naked bike / Rat bike / cafe racer build - suggestions welcome!

I enjoy reading other's build threads, and all of the great advice. So, I thought thatI would document my build - and seek advice...

I'm starting with a complete 94 EX250 - with lots of issues. The engine turns, but won't start ( carb issues? ). I have a donor frame / engine / harness from a 95 - that does run - so I will just swap out the motor for now.

I have an overall direction for the build, but welcome suggestions. I don't plan to use any fairings, would like to cut the rear off and add a hoop or something for the seat. And, above all else, keep the cost down - around $300 for the parts that I MUST purchase.

At the moment, it is torn down to the frame.

I have lots of spares from my first EX250, which I still have and will keep. I just wanted to build something of my own.

Inspirational builds...
