stefan2519 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Well, got it all together last night. Some how, from the spray shop and my brother in law's I've lost the belly cowl. Also got an issue with the suspension. The aluminium head plate on the suspension has got twisted, so will have to order a new one. My brother in law took the suspension to a shop and when they got back they were scratched to pieces, they will have to get resprayed , TIT! I'm not keen on the Raider headlight either, looks cheap. Not sure what headlight I'll use, but will change it. Just got stickers to go know to set it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserlazer Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 stefan, go for a cb500f head light, it really looks better that zoomer or your headlight and i think it is not that expensive and you move a class up right away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stefan2519 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Not keen on the zoomer, I do like the projector though. I got the side cowls from Ride It, but they are massively over priced for what they are. Saying that, they do fit like factory, but at a cost. I was already considering the 500F before you mentioned it, still haven't got a quote back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolo Tomazi Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I saw a CBR250 once with the radiator shrouds from the 650 En6, the guy made it work, looked good and must have been cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almera Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Nice job Stefan, though personally I'd get rid of the muffler cover. I think the CBR250 looks fantastic streetfightered up. I'm sure there's a few versions already on here, but there's a great Thai version done all in orange and black. I forget the company name but I'm sure it's easy to find on google images.

stefan2519 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Here ya go. Might give you an idea or two: That looks awesome! I love the rims, I wish I had done the same. Knowing how much mine has cost thus far and still some to go, it would easily run into six didgits for that build. I'm pretty set on the 500F headlight now, still waiting on prices back. Once I get the belly cowl on and the stickers I reckon it'll lift the orange more. The muffeler cover was an after thought, and I may even change the whole exhaust. The mud guard was supposed to be black but ended up orange TIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaicbr Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 What about these headlights? http://www.mocyc.com/market824020/320sp%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%B3%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%82%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%9F%E0%B8%AB%E0%B8%99%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%9B%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B0%E0%B8%AB%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%94%22%E0%B9%81%E0%B8%9D%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%8B%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%A5%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%87%22sac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almera Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Nice one Stefan. I'd also consider getting the seat recovered with a nicer black material and perhaps some orange stitching. I always do it on my bikes as the stock material is always a bit cheap and shiny looking. For my CBR250 it was about 600b I think. Toom in Intamara soi 21 is famous for good work.

mania Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Good job I like the strong color on the frame but think I would tend to understate it a bit since it is so strong. I think I would go orange just on the frame. Meaning exhaust shield,rear hugger,passenger peg brackets,kickstand, etc. in black. I was curious so did a quick sloppy respray in paintshop to see. Hope you don't mind as I was just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almera Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 If the stock ones, which are the size of a dinner plate and on a 1/2 meter long arm don't offer a good field of vision, I feel you'll be disappointed in nearly all the after market ones. I use little koso ones. Absolutely great for traffic. FOV is okay once you get used to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use little koso ones. Absolutely great for traffic. FOV is okay once you get used to them. Its not that, i have to re adjust them every time and one of the bolts in them is not good so i need to replace that one. Maybe if everything is a bit more tight they wont move so much. I just wanted mirrors that stay good all the time. But i think sometimes people bump against it while parking. So i thought if i have to replace ill go for better. But if there is no better then not.
