250r Hood To 300ex Stock Plastic Tutorial

[Pvt. Maggot]

Well, I figured since this is asking so many times, And me being the first to do it on the site, I'd make a tutorial so there arn't 600 new threads everyday for it. Hopefully someone can make it a sticky. Anyway I hope this helps everyone out. Since I don't have my 300ex anymore I can't go and take new pics but i'll do my best with the ones that I do have.

Your going to need.
A stock or aftermarket 250r scoop
a drill
I used bolts and locking nuts. But you can use whatever you like really.
A dremel.

First thing is to take off your stock hood and tank plastic. I've seen others do it a little different then mine. But the way I did mine the hood runs with the body lines and whatnot much better. I used a fibe industries 250r scoop for mine. So there were already mounting holes in it. I lined up the hood on the bottom and top and used a marker to mark where the holes go. Then I drilled the holes. Thats basically it for mounting the hood. Then I took my tank plastic and shaved it down to where it fit right against the hood and flowed right into it. I wish I could include a bunch of pics to show exactly how. But I'll show what I do have.

This is somewhat what your plastic should look like without the hood on and the holes drilled.

Here is where the front mounting holes were on mine. The 300ex plastic has perfect spots to drill for the mounting holes on the 250r hood. :)

This is how I shaved my tank plastic to be flush with the hood. Just to give you an idea. :)

And the ending result is your 300ex looking BADASS without having to mod 400ex plastic on it. And this takes about 20-30 mins total. Great mod. Hope I could help out the fellow 300ex riders. :)

You can do the tank plastic in many different ways..But I thought that the way I did it looked much more flush and whatnot. Thats all up to you.
