Howdy Y'all

Going to keep this short.

New to riding, took my MSF course about a month ago. it took about a week after that to buy a 2001 ex250F off of one of my co workers. she's not a very pretty bike but she runs well and I plan on stripping her down to a streetfighter this summer. Also curious I'm thinking I am probably one of the biggest 250 owners out there I stand in at about 6'6" and 250lbs. for my purposes the bikes comfortable and gets me where I need to go.

thanks and gig'em

Welcome Jonathan, glad you are looking to do a facelift on your poor pregen.
Make sure you post pics of it now and when modded.

Welcome! I still like that model, but I'm also of questionable tastes, so .

Thanks for the warm welcome! i like the look as well, but virtually all of the plastics have some sort of damage. Instead of hunting down and paying a bunch to replace them, I'd rather just pull them off. I will be making a post this summer when I dive deep into the build!

Ah, good stuff. If you haven't already, check around the forums here. Some of the members have made gorgeous cafe racers out of their pregens.

think47's cafe fighter is pretty much the inspiration of my build! I hope I can put together something half as nice as some of the ones I have seen here
