TB…. sometimes its worth keeping your handing busy doing other things 👿 whilst watching someone else do things like push the packing stuff into the muffler canister thingy… lol… I’m glad to hear Chris is helping you out on the hair wax products…… YOU NEED HELP in that department

I don’t think that I want to know that Chris is helping TB wax……..there are salons out there that can do that……

OK so I think the chance of me washing the bike in the next few days is slim to remote, so I went and got some photos…dirt and all.
These show the new flight deck without the GPS and spot.
Then with the GPS and spot……not much room left, and I still have to put a 2-way radio on it.
The relocated mirror mount. Don’t want to break the oil reservoir in a fall. Maybe not a likely scenario, but I have seen it happen.
This is the bash plate extension we i.e. Dan made to protect the water hose a little better.
The new (well actually, second hand) FMF exhaust.
The screen mods. For anybody who saw this bike at Sunny Corner the head lights and screen were already on it, but we have shortened and shaped it a bit more.
Finally, a side view……….I’m also still playing with the graphics………….so any suggestions will be considered (except for pink…I don’t do pink!! :sick: ). The current stripes were only a result of playing around with some electrical tape (rough and ready I know :whistle: ) and after a few Bourbons :silly: .
So before I go get some proper graphic stickers to make this look a bit better, what do you think?
If somebody can come up with a better idea or style I will take it into consideration, no promises though………

Wow I had better get into gear and give details of my bikes prep.
Kat you’re a machine with all your work on your bike. BTW, is that three bikes I count in the living room? That’s dedication to have them all in your house!!!
Well my little WR250R has gone through a rather large transformation in the last month or so. Prior to starting to set it up for the APC it was rather a stock standard WRR, but now with a lot of help from my mate Dan, it’s now almost ready. Also Steve from Adventure Moto and TB has provided a huge amount of parts and advice (Steve let me raid one of his old WRR’s for some parts).
So here it is before…….
Then mid way through the work
This is wiring in GPS, heated hand grips and 12V Charger. Also small mods to let it breath a bit better.
Meet the man behind all the work and real preparations on the bike. This is Dan. Lets face it, without him I would be able to get this bike ready in time or I would be paying through the nose for the work.
He has also fabricated a few “ralley ready” modifications, like the mount for the switches and 12V.
This is the full list of things that have either been done to the bike or been added to the bike.
New Handlebars.
Steering Damper.
GPS wiring and Ram mounts.
Spot tracker and Ram mounts.
New headlight (Trail Tech).
New exhaust
Homemade windscreen.
Heated hand grips.
12V charger (for my air mattress).
Re-greased head stock bearings.
Serviced the suspension and raised the front. The guy I bought the bike from was vertically challenged and had lowered front end a bit.
Engine service (valve clearance check).
New front brake line.
New seat.
Pivot Pegz.
New mirrors + changed the connection point (off the from brake master cylinder).
Extension to the bash plate (homemade).I havent got any photos at the moment, as all of this work was only finished on Saturday, then I took it for a ride yesterday and now it’s all muddy. So I will wash it soon and get some more photos.
