Posts: A lot.
ok. Where am I today:

Item purchased and/or installed:

Suspension
Forks redone and optimized by Ed Sorbo of Lindemann Engineering
Ed also added fork drains at the bottom of the forks so I can do oil changes w/o removing the forks.
Penske triple with LE valving and short reservoir hose (will mount to battery box)
springs front and rear are based on my weight and riding style. interesting note here is that throughout my discussions with Ed, traditional sag numbers DO NOT apply to the 250. I can discuss more later.....

Ignition
JettingPro
Map selector switch installed
Launch control installed
NGK CR9 plugs

Engine
APE Ported head with +1mm intake valves
Falicon Ultra Light Crank mods
Wiseco 12.5:1 pistons
WEB cams both intake and exhaust (special grind not listed on site)
Lots of new seals, gaskets and consumables (engine will be basically new)

Fuel/Intake
Factory Pro Jetting
Factory Pro Hand adjustable air screws
Modified STOCK airbox
Pipercross filter
Backfire screen removed

Exhaust
Area P full standard with 12" carbon muffler
I will have to do some checking here to see how the pipe lines up to the port, but thoughts are that the increased back pressure from the smaller pipe should benefit the little 250. Otherwise, I might have to mod or get a custom.
New Area P header gaskets

Other Fun Stuff
Motion Pro VR Throttle (plan to run the 45mm or 50mm cam)
Motion Pro Right Cluster Switch
Alien Motion Battery (4 Cell, weighs about 1 lb, better than ballistic (don't like them))
Heated Grips...after all I want to be comfortable
Pirelli Rosso II tires 110/140
@rojoracing53 modified rear brake rotor (shaved off 13 oz or so!!!)
@rojoracing53 modified rear brake hanger (now captive i.e. wont fall off during tire changes)
Stainless bolts instead of the @%#^y stell ones where I could easily replace
Repainted lower half of the engine case
New sprockets with a 520 non-oring chain (want to say 15/43 but I would need to go check)
Silicon radiator hoses (green )
Removed the thermostat
LP high performance coolant (no mixing)
Fender eliminator (done a while ago)
fully safety wired and past WERA/AMA specs
SSR preload caps
WC clip-ons
Secondary fuel filter


I think that's about all.....but I will let you know.
