Hey all I got the 250 going again. fuel tank all hooked up (finally started getting parts for it)
My problem is, I can start the thing but it will only stay running while the choke is on.. as soon as you release it, it dies.. or the second I touch the throttle it kills it..
It was blowing a ...

cool thats one of the first things I want to get
I should have some spare time in the afternoons this week so I will start bracing up the fairings ready for the big test
Hopefully I will have a result soon. (or a severely mangled fairing hehe)

hey guys bit of an update, in what little spare time I have had at work Iv done a bit of a test, i tried a small amount of resin on the plastics and on the back it eats into it, but with the old paint there it seemed to release okay. Im just worried about the heat involved in making the full sized ...

hey all, still going at it. the test fairing is sitting under covers. I have had huge delays with the car at the moment and am still hoping to get this first one done to see how it turns out.
My computer has also been down for a while so I havnt been able to update. I hope to have some sort of ...

If I cant get anything done on it at work im taking it home to do it.

I have a ZXR250 A model 250 and i have a complete fairing, but 1 side is all scratched!

hmmm im not sure how much it all costs, i know the materials arent cheap, but i would get them alot ...

lol thats the one who wanted to buy my wreck for 50 bucks.
got some prices of fairings off him that werent too bad but still I cant afford THAT much
Once i get my hands on some fairings im going to make a mould at work and make em wen i need em (I have the worst habit of dropping anything I touch )

Done, Im near brisbane

I went to a few wreckers in moss st, but most are a bit suss
one guy tried to tell me it would cost thousands to fix my bike, then offered to buy the wreck for 50 bucks lol, wanker.
He let slip of the frame straightener he uses and i paid him a visit, 900 later and all i have ...

Hey all, I have still not got the fairings for my bike. all up around 1200 bucks !!!!
I am wondering if anyone knows where I can get at least some second hand ones.
I work at a fibre glass place now. So even if I can get someones old fairing and make a mould from them I would be very happy ! And ...

Hey everyone, I got a quick list of parts for the bike
I really want to find these parts somewhere else, for cheaper
I am not worried about paint, just as long as they are in repariable, repaintable condition
but i will be fussy about the headlight
here goes.

Top fairing $330
new screen with tint ...

I’m thinking I might take the entire fuel tank and get the key cut,
I was talking to a bloke and he said the ignition has the tumbler thingies on both sides, while the fuel tank and seat only have them on one, so if i got a key cut for the tank, it wouldn’t work on the ignition anyway,

my mates ...

HELP!, its giving me the shits and im doing damage!, I dont have the keys for the fuel tank, I have undone the bolts, and tried prying the whole thing out with screwdrivers, but its almost bending the bloody things! I dont want to use any more force than that, does it have to be unlocked to remove ...

hey all, back again. just figured out what hoses go where now, Im still having a VERY hard time trying to get the lock assembly out of the fuel tank. since I dont have the keys, i have undone all the bolts and tried prying it out but its almost like its going to snap something if I bend the screw ...

Woah, finally i found a decent pic of one with the front half all together!!
that looks awesome, definately like the one colour job
I cant wait to get mine looking clean like that
would you have any pics of one done in full black, with polished rims? just curious, as I have seen a mates done similar ...
