Well here it is just back from the machine shop.
Here is a link to the photo's not sure if it will work or not, if it doesn't, then please let me know.

It is still a bit rough at the moment, so the next thing to do is remove all the brackets, grit blast them and spray them black.
The next stage is to powder coat the whole frame and swingarm (black).
And then, spray all the body work in....you guessed it....black (with a bit of silver)
I'll need to see how it handles too.

front looks nice i like those cans.. the back could do with being a bit smaller i think..

it should look great when finished.

Awesome!
I think the tail's to big as well
but the rest of it's really cool.
Forget the silver, paint it all black
but leave the tank that colour!

I was a bit stuck when selecting a seat as I wanted something that would cover up those ugly subframe rails.
I did think about lopping off the frame rails and putting some steeper bracing from the seat down the the frame, but this would intefere with the position of the oil tank and coolant tanks which I would like to keep.
I'll think about fitting another seat if I can re-position all of the tanks and stuff.
I was quite impressed with the RS250 fairing though as it almost went straight on.

looks pretty damn good, definetly agree with a black and silver paint job, was thinking about giving my vt250 a similar coat, so look forward to seeing how yours turns out, the fairing does look slightly out of place but once painted itll look pretty great, extra width should also make for better aeros perhaps

fairing looks nice - once its painted i dont think you'll notice
the seat so much - its just because it stands out colourwise at
the moment

did you use the standard brackets to fit the fairing?

I had some posts made up that fitted to the frame. The front of the fairing is fitted to the bike by using part of the RS250 bracket welded to a cut down KR1 bracket. The whole thing is pretty secure.
