I have a few pics of my prized possession, my lil EX. It may not be much but for my trail riding and occasional small MX track use, it is all I need. I ride with utilities a lot and i go where any of them can go pretty much and if i do get stuck, i can just lift it up out of trouble because it is so light. I love the little thing. I take good care of it and it shows. Now for some of the newer pics. Say what u think, give some criticism, whatever. I am gonna redo the a-arms, the red is just not workin out. I'll get to it eventually. And if your wondering, the exhaust is entirely stock. I just did a little painting work on it with 1200 degree heat paint.

Alright, i fixed the pics.

Thanks for all the comments. I try to keep it very clean, and it always seems as if i am never satisfied with its cleanliness. But, i try.

I like the look of the red a-arms when they are new, however, when you are a bigtime trail rider, they lose their brightness rather quickly and look like they have dust on them all the time. So, i am going back to a nice sliver like what is in my avatar. I went ahead and tore the front end apart tonight. I have a little bit of money, so since i need to get some motor oil anyway, i might end up gettin some Razrs for the front. The front end isn't planted like i would like it to be.

Also, I spent the extra money on AC nerfs for their overall better design in my opinion. I like the looks a lot better than the sqaure DG's. But they were a pain to put on. Thank goodness I work in my dads body shop every now and then and have tons of airtools available to make things easier. I had to do some pretty good forcing to get them on, but they are on and I love them, and they saved me the other day. I'd say $140 (which i thought was a pretty good price really) was well worth preventing a broken leg.

Cool thing about workin in a body and paint shop is you learn a few neat tricks. Like, for example, using red paint to use as a base, and then spraying silver aluminum from far away gives a metal flake effect. It is pretty cool, as long as you dont get carried away with it.

And mine is wider, I have +3" spacers (1.5 per side) all around. It has really helped the stability out a ton and gives the 250EX a more professional look in my opinion. Plus, for some reason, steering is actually even easier.

Thanks again for all the comments, i appreciate em.

I have a few more pics to show. These are gonna be some wheelies, with the exception of this first one, lol. One day, I was bored and wondered, "Hmmm... i wonder how well i could pull my dads 25x12 Dirt Devils...."
So... i put em on the thing, and tested i out with surprising results. The first thing i did, was just gunned the throttle wide open from a dead stop. I expected a bog... i got a wheelie, lol. I was totally amazed at how well it could pull the things. Gearing was obviously a lot higher, but it stilled pulled them well. But enough talk, more pictures.

Hey man nice 250ex what kind of pipe is that?

Fast250EX

Thanks, and that pipe is the stock one that I removed the baffle from, stripped the stock paint off, and added that nice lil paint job with a couple cans of heat paint, utility knife, some masking tape, and patience. I think it turned out well. I wasn't going for anything outrageous, just somethin to get a little attention. Its cheap way to make your stocker pipe a ton better.
