nah still working on it, work has been keeping me busy, so i haven't had a lot of time, but I'm getting there, right now working on getting the tail boxed up so I can fit most if not all the electronics under the seat pan. First time messing with fiber glass and something this intricate of a seat/tail, so its tedious work.
Don't worry I didn't forget about ya, you'll be the first to know once I get it finished :)

Just picked this guy up tonight, and for once, I'm actually going to hang onto this one!
I purposely got this one for my personal machine, got tired of borrowing my buddies quads, and since I cant fit a quad in my garage with my car and CBR in there, figured a dirt bike will suit me fine. 97 WR250, last of the two stroke WRs, basically a YZ with taller gearing, bigger rear wheel, lighting coil etc, been looking for one of these for a bit, took a trip down to Tuscon tonight and picked it up, stoked!
Plan is to get some lights on it, clean it up, gonna get it all one color (white), possible graphics kit, and a set of street tires/rims so I can have a light weight 2T super moto too

1996 Honda Africa Twin on the left and 1988 Honda Africa Twin on the right.
The 1988 is now restored. Will do the same with the 1996 this winter. Both bikes took me thru amazing roadtrips thru Europe, North Africa and the Balkans.

just for style really, personal preference, stock motorcycles off the show room floor come with huge tail lights with ugly turn signals and a massive plate frame hanging off the tail of the bike, safety standards/liability and what have you, so "fender eliminators" were coined, they come in all styles
heres what that bike comes with in terms of a plate frame/tail light stock
you can also see the difference in my personal bike in my sig, heres what mine looks like stock (minus the exhaust), on mine I have just my plate with a small mount, LED license plate bulb bolts, and integrated turn signals in my tail light, cleans it all up nicely

Can you bike guys explain this to me? I see it a lot now.
What the hell is this for? Is there some legal requirement to have your plate at some height? The Harley guys with the tiny sideways back plate aren't buying that.
It's not a fender, it's not keeping any water off your back. Is it held on there with struts like flimsy bicycle fenders? That's gonna get whacked / knocked out of alignment. There is no fender - that front one isn't doing shit. Is it a dirt bike? They usually have more fender than this.
Thanks from a total bike noob.Leave a comment:

Rode a 2016 or 2015 Monster 821, really cool bike. Its a little weird at first, but it feels natural after 3-4 miles.
I put alittle over 22 miles on a demo and it was fun. The modes were interesting, definitely not a slow bike. Exhuast for one is retarded how much $$ for just a slip on.
Definitely not a beginner bike, it was pretty fast. I want to try the 1200 now though...Leave a comment:

Been slacking on the XS750 as of late, but I got her running, fired right up, surprisingly quiet with straight pipes on it, its quieter then my /6 was, and that had mufflers on it, we'll see what I decide to do with that.
Finally got around to getting the seat pan formed, first time doing this, but im liking the way its looking, and the foam is pretty forgiving, nice to work with. Hoping to fiberglass it this week and get the tank and it off to paint.

Been seeing a lot of Ducati Monsters in the city lately. They are definitely growing on me. I could see myself picking one up in the future. Anyone ever owe one or ride one? Opinions?
