Here are the mods we got done to this point, including the ex250 wheels, double bubble windscreen and handle bars, Also the famed grab handle mod.2 Mods I forgot to mention was the under tail, and I made new dog legs for the rear suspension, can't really see them in the pics

I'm new to this...
Why the ex250 wheels?
Lighter, bigger tires, better color...???

Do you want your license plate numbers readable, on-line, by anybody?
I don't know what troubles can come from it, it seems that most folks prefer to cover their plates.

What kind of blue: light-dark, metallic, candy or??

 

[Art1989]

Lighter for sure but mainly for the rear disc, over all the whole setup was about 8 to 10 pounds lighter than the 500 stuff, the forks are also the ex250's resprung, no weight savings there, but had to use them to use the 250 wheel, because the rotors are switched, plate number sure you can read it, it does not even belong to that bike, and what are you going to get from it that you can't get anyway.As for color I was thinking GM superior blue, but may change my mind.
