Well, got my moped back on the road today with insurance, tax etc while the NSR is off the road and the insurance has been canceled. I decided that the most I would make for selling the NSR now would be £300 at the top, meaning I'd lose about £300-400 from what I've spent on it. So I decided (with a bit of help) to give it a complete makeover. Here is the list of things I need for the project...

- Starter Motor
- Twin / Streetfighter Headlight
- DIY Paintjob
- Belly Pan
- Alot of spare time

Ive estimated the total cost of this at around £220 - 350. Will have to sell the moped / do alot of overtime at work for this but I've made a "Modification" to a picture of it using MS Paint to show you what I hope to get done.

Any feedback to make it look better welcome! Very Happy

Also, how much would the estimated value of the bike be after it has been finished? Any ideas?

It is completely stock now. What do you mean by keeping it as a lifer?

My TS250s a lifer, because it'll take me the rest of my life to finish it. When I do finish it, I'll have put so much effort into it that it would be unthinkable to have the £300 or so I would get for it!

Haven't been on here in months, mainly because I've been enjoying not freezing my nads off everytime I go out, as I have a car Razz

Are you gonna buy a headlight unit like what you would find on busters or something? Or going for a more....like, sophiticated one? (i dont mean offense by this...i cant explain what i mean - im thinking like some hornet double lights or something? or a full unit thats kinda racey?)

The bike has had a fair bit done to it over the past 2 weeks or so. Mainly paint-job and decals added. Just done another wicked picture using paint to give you the general gist of what it is looking like, I will take a few more pictures when the job is done and the panels are back on the.

I need a belly pan if anyone knows were I could get one relatively cheap that could fit. Headlight is on it's way. Also need to get the wheels off and paint them, one is orange and the other one is white at the moment. Laughing

Got the top tank panel on its way, new gearbox and stater motor being fitted on Friday and a new round, bandit style headlight.

Very Happy

EDIT: Also a new front wheel that is 3 spoke and white is on its way Embarassed
