Thank-you Roland. You've been a big help for advice!, and a lot of other members too. It's great to have a site like this to speak to likeminded friendly people with a wealth of knowlege. Im still learning everyday.

Congratulations, your bike is looking nice!

The only mods I could think of that are left worth doing would be..
aftermarket seat, solo cowl, flush mounts, koso gauges, rearsets (if you plan on tracking), grips, taller windscreen, and fender eliminator kit.

One of the best feelings in the world is looking at one's bike and saying HELL YA'! I did that, and then have a couple of pints to congratulate yourself.

Sláinte!

Awesome job, O BTW once you've started modding, your never done, trust me

"Finally finished Modding my 250r"?

Wait, *Finished?!?*

Seriously though, the bike looks very nice. Good job on getting it done and upgraded to the way you want it.

Singh2jz · February 24th, 2015, 10:44 AM

Dude, mod is life once the mod bug leaches onto you.

ForceofWill · February 24th, 2015, 10:50 AM

Nicely done. You can still throw plenty of money at her lol.

rollo19 · February 24th, 2015, 02:50 PM

Yeah I'm with you on that, I'm sure he didn't think his statement thru.

choneofakind · February 24th, 2015, 04:47 PM

You're never done. Ever. Once you start, there's no end to it.

Kruse08 · February 24th, 2015, 09:17 PM

Looks great sir, and to what everyone else said, you are never done. I also was exactly like you when I got my bike. I was nervous to take it apart but now I am learning and trying new stuff in hopes that I do not mess it up.

Ghostt · February 24th, 2015, 09:30 PM

ONE of the best things is doing all your own work on the bike, is the HUGE amount of money you save, which by the way helps fund other modifications.

Save money, so you can spend more to save more!

Sirref · February 24th, 2015, 09:46 PM

I can't do a fender eliminator because of the GIVI monolock rack. It is screwed into the stock holes in the tail and isn't compatable with a fender eliminator kit. I preffer 52 Liters of storage to a fender eliminator. Although im getting pretty close to heating a knife up and slicing some of it off..
