RE: Project 250EX new begining
So, I got the fairing Ialready had all repaired, and primed. I am still waiting for my new lower fairing, left side controls andaftermarket signals to arrive. I received my new seat, grips, and pegs during the week. I started doing a little bondo work on my gas tank, which I have decided to repair, instead of purchasing a new one. They simply cost too much. So all I need to get yet is a windshield, and a upper fairing. I should have them purchased by the end of the week. Then it simply comes down to assembly. I used flat black primer on the fairings that I have now, and it looks real mean on the bike. After I get the all the final sanding done, I'm going to spray them with a flat black paint, vs. the primer that is on them now as primer doesn't seal against water.I will try to get some pictures tonight of my progress.

SoI couldn't help my self, I put some 92 octane in the unfinished tank, replaced the spark plugs and tried to start it for the first time since I got the bike. Unfortunately it didn't start, not even a pop. I'm not 100% sure it's getting fuel.I have no mechanical experience with bikes, so I have a friend that works at a Kawasaki dealership who is going to look at it for me. It was a little disappointing, but I'm sure I will have it running soon.
I put the top coat of flat black paint on the side and rear fairings, and front fender. Man does it look nice. I can't wait to see it all painted. I finally purchased a upper fairing. All that's left to buy is a windshield, wooooohooo!
Costs so far:
Bike: free
Fairings: $294
Seat: $50
Chromelevers and brake fluid cap: $40
Grips: $15
Black foot pegs:$40
Flush mount turn signals: $30
Paint: $30
Total investment so far: $499
new pics to come soon.
