OK guys here is my little rebel 250, These pics are what it looked like the last time that I rode it...    I have since completly stripped the bike and had the frame powdercoated. I am now in the process of cleaning parts and painting/powdercoating/polishing small parts. I am going to build a new seat bracket for the v-star seat that I am goin with and I am mounting new rear blinkers like the ones on the front. I am going to paint the tins a bright custom mix orange. Here is a link to my Photobucket album from start to now... photobucket.com/5150-rebelPlease let me know what you think... Feel free to ask any questions... |

OK guys... here it is...  I busted ass for the last week before to get it finished for the 2008 Sturgis, MS rally that friends and I have been planning since January... I finish the exhaust wrapping, bolt it on, make a trip around the block, load it in the trailer. My friends show up we load the camping supplies and haul ass up there. We get there I help them unload, get the camp set up then I roll out my bike... by the time I could get the touch up paint and brush out ( I still had bolt and nut heads to touch up ) and grap a beer there were people walking over to check it out... Overall, the weekend was awsome, we had lots of fun, I also took 1st place rat metric at the bike show... laterz... |
