Just got done with the bike and rode around the block, and was very impressed with how the overall way the bike rides now, thought i'd posts some pics. Still have to put the handguards and front blinkers on yet. This bike feels totally different after a 25 lbs weight loss and 13-48 gearing. It's alot more flickable and will stand the front up 1-2-and with very little help 3rd too. And yes it's a 250 with stock carb and all the free mods with pipe and open airbox. Next winter comes big bore, carb, and head work. For now im alot happier with the weight loss, gearing and suspension work.
Oh little heads up my rear shock pressure was about 60lbs low from the factory, (What difference that made) just wondering if anyone else notice that theres was low on nitrogen.

 

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

what all did you get rid of to make 25 pounds, i droped about 10 on mine and still feels kinda porky.

 

Exhaust, bars, computer, tail monstrosity... that's easily 15, I'm curious, too, as to how you lost another 10 on top of that. Lookin' good though!

 

The pipe was 4.5 lighter, the head light with cluster and key was 7 pounds lighter, tail lite assmbly was 7-8 pounds lighter with tools, and all the other junk like big blinkers, back pegs aluminum bars and sprocket, reflectors, tabs, emissions, ect. was another 5 or6 pounds. The next thing i'm going to do is get an e-batt witch would lose another 4 pounds, those batteries are sweet, you can relocate the batt. to uner the seat

 

Can you give us manufacturers, part numbers, and costs on the headlamp assembly, tail lamp and rear fender. . . . very nice units!

 

tail light is Baja Design $65
fender is Maier klx300 $35
front light is Acerbis DHH CE DOT $65
Give or take a few bucks. I'm not sure on the part numbers but i'll look into it if you can't find them.
