Light mods to 05 EX250R

Kawa · September 6th, 2010, 01:46 PM

Hi, I thought I would post a pic of my bike that I brought for $1250 with 4500 miles and next to perfect condition (the most fun you can have on your way to work). I added flush mount front turn signals, customized the rear fender and removed the rear turn signals and added them into the built in portal thingies next to the brake lamp.
Hope you like, nice and standard with a few wee enhancements, just like how I like my woman

Todd, I have the same year and color bike so I have to say it looks great. IMHO.

could you post a picture of the back end and possibly tell how you did it? the tail light mods are something I'm thinking of doing.

Hi, I found instructions online how to chop up the fender, easy really. Added a couple of tabs for the plate. I purchased a rear clear light kit online for $50 that included the brake light as well but I decided to leave the red lens as it works to illuminate the license plate. I purchased the front signals from asiancycle.com, really nice kit and easy to install.

Todd, did you knock out the square red lens at the bottom of the big red lens and replace it with a clear lens? If not, it just pops out and cut out a clear piece of plastic the same size and glue it in place.

Thats a good idea mate. I took out the plastic and didnt replace it.

yeah i'm doing the same thing with the front turn signals, so i'm interested in the rear end. Can you point me to the instructions that you used to integrate the rear turn signals?
