Thats dope man! Very clean, looks like you have worked hard for her. I like the rotor and sprocket guard where can a guy find somthing like that?

Blingstar. They used to not make them for the 250R, but started recently. I'm sure it's because the 250r and 450r are only different on the thickness of the rear brake stay.
The one I have is for a 450r. I've converted the rear brake setup to all 450r.

Matt it looks killer! I thought you were building that chassis into a MX set up? Either way I am glad to see you have it completed.

Nice Laeger buddy, looks great! Those guards on the rear end are beefy, nicely done.

Doonrider,
That red has gold and silver metallic flake in it. It looks dark almost maroon till it hits the sunlight.


Scott,
I'm seriously thinking about it! I gave it a hard (10 hrs in two days) shake down on the Hatfield-Mccoy trail system in WV. this past weekend. It lugs great on bottom then, WHAM pulls like crazy in the mid! I've never ridden that kind of power in that range before. Pretty sweet!

If you do let me know b/c I'm not 100% going but if your going to be there might seal the deal, only thing is my R isn't ready for xc need a couple thing so I'd be on the 450
PM'd ya my number in case you don't have it

Very Nice. If you plan on running it in XC, cover the light up so it doesn't get busted. Learned the hard way :)

I see that set of plastic went to a good home. I gotta get up that way to see it in person.

Good looking bike.

I remember mine looked that clean when i first built it.


They just never look as good again, especially after a few seasons of racing on them.
