Good choice Thumbs Up

My 08 one was fantastic, if you need any advice regarding getting a little more oomph, drop me a message Mr. Green

Over one year since i bought the bike. Lots of mods and this is how she looks now

Full respray by myself with rattle cans. New engine, well 4000 miles. New light unit etc etc the list is endless.

Very nice

, I have the 250 and was thinking about how I could tidy up the back end, you seem to have done what I want to do!

Nice exhaust (clean and stainless) where did you get that?

Just a tail tidy mate and a bit of trimming to the original rear.

Exhaust was originally bought from a company which i will not mention due to shoddy workmanship. My exhaust was modded by a good friend that makes these.

You should join www.ukhyo-ownersclub.co.uk

Great site for info on mods.

No need to part with it, keep it just get the licence done, give it a year or 2 of saving then buy yourself another one to add to the collection Mr. Green

Like it, and like these bikes in general. If you get your test done you could always step up to the 650... They are dirt cheap and pretty damn good bikes for it.

Cheers guys Thumbs Up

I do like the hyo 650 and would be tempted when i pass my test. On the other hand i have always liked the SV650 so will be a tough decision.

Still not finished with the mods yet but nearly there now lol. Going to fit renthals, new pegs and attempting a mod that will remove my front light unit, sort of half faired. All the parts on the way, will just take a bit of planning to make it all fit.

As already said, great bike and you've done a really nice job...out of interest...why the new engine? The motor is pretty solid usually.

I had the 250r version. Loved it....and that was directly after my fireblade!

Been a while since any updates and there have been a few....

I went from naked to half faired. Headstock had a plate welded to accommodate the upper fairing bracket

From half to full faired

Then i decided to put a 250 lump in, got a nice chrome one from a GV250 and this is how she look now. Chain and sprocket have been replaced with a more heavy duty one not shown in this pic.

Lots and lots of extras have been added during the course of the build and the bike has come a long way from the first pic at the start of this thread. 250 lump gives the grin factor and i am very happy with the performance.

After the MOT this month the bike will be being stripped for the final time to have a full paint job including the frame and wheels. All plastics are being vinyl wrapped so hopefully it will be ready for the good weather next year.
