iSpeed · June 13th, 2012, 08:26 PM

Hey so i finally got my candy lime green 250r 2012 today! woot!

Here's what im looking to buy...need suggestions on where to buy at the best price.

Yoshimura Exhaust or maybe HMF exhaust or two brother.. (what do you all suggest?)
White rims
Tire/Rim/wheel Strips/stripes (Green maybe white)
More to come...

Also, what helmet do you think would look best with the candy lime green bike?
Something with green,black, white mixture of at least 2 of the 3 colors.

thou shal not be lazy. search.

edit: helmet color?...find a helmet that fits properly first. then go from there

EvilPooMonkey · June 13th, 2012, 08:38 PM

i'd like to switch up the rims as well but i am under the impression that very few people make aftermarket (if any) for a 250 (w/o dishing out serious dough) so unless thye are on e-bay your best bet is to just get your's powdercoated... i could and probably am wrong but my research has led me to the idea of just getting mine powdercoated. i am actually looking for a used oven to throw in my garage so i can do it myself but i want to do them either red to match bike or a bronzeish gold color like on the augustas. if you find out something i couldnt find please share the knowledge

area p full exhaust...more bang for your buck vs. a yoshi/2bros slip-on. If you want an exhaust mainly for the sound + a little performance boost, a Danmoto slip-on is good and cheap.

For white rims you could pm @massacremasses to get them powdercoated.

iSpeed · June 13th, 2012, 08:58 PM

My personal feeling on the "gear matching the bike" topic has changed over the short period I have owned my bike. I'm pretty anal with most things. One of those things is matching. I will only match my clothes if EVERYTHING matches. By everything, I mean shirt, pants, shoes, socks, belt, yada yada yada. If everything won't match perfectly, I don't match ANYTHING. I'm talking lime green shoes, navy blue shorts, a black shirt, and my camo hat.

So when it came to my bike, I wanted everything to match. My bike came with a jacket that matched very well. I then bought a helmet at the MotoGP here in Indy, without first matching it to my bike. It was close-ish, but if you looked you could see the difference in color. Then I bought some leather gloves on clearance. They only had blue. They came, and didn't match any of the blues I had. Clearly, this bugs the crap out of me.

Here is my feelings on the matter now. I feel that you should find the best gear that you can afford and that you will wear. If you can match everything (perfectly, lol) then do so. If not, get the coolest colors and look like a clown. At least they'll see you

No that's "Good Guy Greg". He's known for doing things to generally help others before thinking about himself. You putting in a plug for Justin is typical Good Guy Greg.

If you want a good price on a helmet that more or less matches those requirements, assuming you wear a large I can sell you my Scorpion EX-500 Ardent http://shopping.scorpionusa.com/C55D...625F0A61D4443E
I have the one in green and I never wore it. I bought it as a backup helmet (well, technically a backup to my backup) so it never saw use. Its not that I don't like it (I really do, especially the inflatable cheekpads and built in visor) its just my only helmet that doesn't have a bluetooth setup and I like my tunes :-)
